About El Peñón (Wreck of Tabaiba)
El Peñón at Tabaiba is a purpose-sunk wreck that gives Tenerife a shore dive with real structure. The upper section is easy to reach from the coast, while the lower hull and interior are better suited to experienced divers. The site rewards steady buoyancy more than speed, and the surrounding volcanic bottom adds a second layer to the route. Expect schooling fish, octopus, moray eels, rays, barracuda and trumpetfish around the wreck.

Safety Notes
Use wreck discipline inside the hull, stay off the interior route without training, and keep trim tight on the angled structure. A light helps under the wreck and in the darker sections.
Access Restrictions
Public shore access is straightforward; the practical restriction is diver skill for the lower wreck and any interior route.
Legal Notes
No special permit or closure was surfaced; follow normal wreck-diving etiquette and local site briefings.
