Tenerife is the Spring Island, with a warm climate all year round, making it a popular holiday destination. But have you tried scuba diving in Tenerife? The islands volcanic formation and location if reflected in all that you can find underwater. Huge Atlantic rays swoop in over the seabed. Grouper lurk under crevasses while sponges and anemones cling to the reef walls. Roncadores and jacks school. Or keep your eyes peeled for an angel sharks, who like to hide near the eel gardens. Wreck divers will be enthralled with the options. The Twin Wrecks were purposely sunk as artificial reefs, drawing in marine life from miles around, whilst vessels such as the El Condesito fell foul and are fascinating dives.
