Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Sailboat offers some of Canary Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Sailboat wreck, sitting at 31 metres, offers a relaxed dive for those comfortable with deeper profiles. We’ve found the currents here are usually pretty mild, making it a good spot for intermediate divers looking to explore. You'll drop onto a small, wooden sailboat, well-colonised now by sponges and anemones. It's not a massive wreck, so you can take your time circling it, peeking into the small cabin where you might spot a moray eel or a school of glassfish. Expect to see plenty of damselfish darting about and maybe a cuttlefish camouflaged on the hull. It’s a pleasant dive, a nice counterpoint to some of the volcanic reefs around the Canaries.
