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.
