El Condesito - wreck

El Condesito is one of Tenerife’s most accessible wreck dives, only a short boat trip from Las Galletas. This 44-metre cargo vessel sank in 1973 and now rests in shallow water, making it a fantastic wreck experience for certified divers who do not want to go deep.

With a maximum depth of around 18 metres, the dive gives you time to explore the broken structure, swim around the different sections and look into the wreck without the pressure of a deep dive. Over the years, El Condesito has become part of the reef, attracting Atlantic marine life that now uses the wreck as shelter.

It is a great dive for Open Water divers who want their first real wreck experience, and still enjoyable for experienced divers who love history, structure and relaxed exploration underwater.
