Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - SAVVAS L offers some of Canary Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Savvas L sits upright, a trawler sunk back in 1974. We found the stern section, with its big prop and rudder, the most intact part, offering some interesting swim-throughs as it’s open to the elements. The mid-section is more broken up, but it’s still easy to trace the deck line and imagine it as a working vessel. We’ve seen barracuda hanging out here, and the resident groupers often eye you from within the darker holds. It’s a shallow dive, maxing out at two metres, so it’s perfect for extended bottom times and a good spot for newer divers to experience a wreck without the added depth challenges.
