Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Telamon offers some of Canary Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Telamon wreck, sitting just off the coast of the Canary Islands, offers a pretty accessible wreck dive. We find the ship's skeleton, a former cargo vessel, quite interesting to navigate. There’s enough structure left to swim through some of the holds and deck areas, which always adds a bit of adventure. Keep an eye out for the resident bigeye tuna that often cruise the periphery, and closer in, you'll spot plenty of ornate wrasse darting between the metal plates. It's a solid dive for those who enjoy poking around a decent-sized wreck without needing advanced certifications.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
