Stingray Palace

Description: WWII Minesweeper
Depth: 30 metres
WW2 German minesweeper used in later life as a dolphin viewing ship from Los Cristianos.  The vessel was purposely sunk on 23rd October 2005. This dive is very interesting as the wreck is intact and upright.  We have spotted a resident grouper on numerous dives and lots of rays.  The wreck is making an interesting artificial reef for the future as marine life starts to flourish.

We load the boat, Celtic Wave, in Las Galletas Marina and take the short journey of 10 minutes to Palm Mar to the site of El Meridian.

El Meridian

Enter at the western side of the harbour, leave the harbour and keep on heading west, ending the dive at the little beach. Nothing special, but a shallow relaxed 1 hour dive. Great for beginners or people that haven't been diving for a while.

Enter at the western side of the harbour
