There are a number of wrecks to dive in Tenerife. Probably the most popular wreck site is that of the Condesito, situated off the Punta Rasca, a protected national park located in the south of Tenerife. This cargo ship sank some 30 years ago after running aground, one Christmas. At the time she was carrying bags of cement which are still visible. Over the years the sea has taken its toll on the ship. The amidships to the bow has collapsed which has made a fantastic habitat for marine life. The depth of this wreck is between 10 and 25 metres.



There is also the fascinating wreck of the Meridian, situated off the coast of Palm Mar in the south of the Tenerife. She was purposely sunk a few years ago after many years of working as a whale and dolphin excursion boat, prior to this she was a German naval minesweeper. The Meridian sits upright on sand with a maximum depth of 30 metres. Entry is possible into the wheelhouse and a trip up the mast to the crows nest always makes for a fantastic photo opportunity!
