Onderwaterfauna Tenerife 2016 Versie-3
Dive site: El Condesito
Onderwaterfauna / Underwater fauna
Depth: 6-20 metres/ 30 metres+
The Condesito, a freighter carrying cement for the construction of
Los Cristianos, was wrecked on the shoreline near Punta Rasca in late
1971. No lives were lost.
Decades later and although the wreck is disintegrating, leaving it
largely impenetrable, the life here continues to thrive. We can expect
to see huge trumpet fish, octopus, cuttlefish, barracuda and many
more. Situated in a sheltered bay, this site offers great diving for
beginners and more seasoned divers alike! The fingers of lava either
side of the wreck are also worth exploring. A great spot for
snorkelers too.
