This dive site, known as Poco Naufragio, offers an engaging experience centered around a small wooden wreck. Divers typically drop into approximately 16 meters, and with a short swim, can encounter a local family of five stingrays. While the site's maximum depth is 22 meters, the description mentions the stingrays' home at 30 meters, suggesting a potential deeper excursion for advanced divers or a slight ambiguity in the provided depth information. The interaction with the stingrays, including hand-feeding, provides a truly humbling experience.
Marine life at Poco Naufragio is abundant and diverse. The main attraction is the family of five 'huge' stingrays that have become accustomed to human interaction and can be hand-fed. Beyond these gentle giants, divers will also be overwhelmed by large numbers of Weavers, Sardines, and Roncadores, creating lively schools of fish around the wreck and reef.
While specific best times to visit are not detailed, the Canary Islands generally offer excellent diving conditions year-round. This site is particularly suitable for divers looking for an interactive experience with marine life and those interested in wreck diving at a manageable depth. Freedivers will also find the average depth of 11 meters and maximum depth of 22 meters suitable for exploring the wreck and observing the general fish life.
