Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - JUCAR offers some of Canary Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
The JUCAR wreck, a former container ship, offers a fascinating dive in the Canaries. She went down in 1984, a respectable 105 metres long, now resting in relatively shallow water. We’ve found her to be a great spot for those keen on wreck penetration, with plenty of entry points into the hold and superstructure, though always be mindful of silt. Sunlight still reaches most parts, illuminating the schools of barracuda that often circle the main deck and the resident dusky groupers peeking from the shadows. It’s a solid pick for divers comfortable with overhead environments and looking for a wreck with a real sense of history.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
