Palm-Mar wreck dive with open internal spaces, clear water, and a conservative advanced profile.
About El Meridian
El Meridian is a scuttled south Tenerife wreck that now functions as an artificial reef for advanced scuba divers. Its appeal is the clear-water wreck structure, easy photographic angles, and the mix of schooling fish and reef predators around the hull. The site rewards disciplined wreck diving rather than casual sightseeing, and it is best approached with respect for depth, current, and the wreck interior.
