Twin Wrecks (Wreck) is a shallow boat wreck with calm water.
Use a Puerto Colón boat operator; the site is reached in a short run from the harbour.
Twin Wrecks (Wreck) is a boat-only wreck site just in front of Puerto Colón, with two sunken ships resting on a sandy bottom. The wrecks are close together and easy to reach by short boat ride, so the dive is more about slow exploration around the hulls than covering distance. Calm conditions and minimal currents make it one of Tenerife's more approachable wreck sites.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Two wrecks on a sandy bottom with easy navigation between the hulls. The site suits relaxed exploration rather than long swimming legs.
Freediving
Only the shallowest look-ins and surface-level exploration make sense for freediving, and only in very calm conditions.
Snorkeling
The site is one of Tenerife's better-known snorkelling wrecks, but the wreck structure still sits best when the sea is calm.
