Dive out from the bay and leave the water through the rocky beach. Not recommended in case of high waves!
Some funny objects under water. Interesting fauna and flora.

At the end of Los Cristianos towards the guaza rock. Right after the Costamar building. Enter the sea at the rocky bay.

La cueva de las morenas

Description: WWII Minesweeper
Depth: 30 metres
WW2 German minesweeper used in later life as a dolphin viewing ship from Los Cristianos.  The vessel was purposely sunk on 23rd October 2005. This dive is very interesting as the wreck is intact and upright.  We have spotted a resident grouper on numerous dives and lots of rays.  The wreck is making an interesting artificial reef for the future as marine life starts to flourish.

We load the boat, Celtic Wave, in Las Galletas Marina and take the short journey of 10 minutes to Palm Mar to the site of El Meridian.
