Veril Chico de Costa Teguise

The magnificent Costa Teguise wall in Spain's Canary Islands is a popular destination for divers of all levels. This impressive underwater cliff stretches for almost two miles, offering a diverse and captivating diving experience.

Divers exploring the Costa Teguise wall will be greeted by a rich abundance of marine life. The crevices that adorn the cliff are home to a wide variety of species, including tree coral, red hogfish, grouper, and triggerfish. Throughout the dive, curious white bream and ornate wrasse will gracefully accompany divers, adding to the enchantment of the underwater journey.

Accessing this dive site is convenient, as it can be reached directly from the coast. Divers can follow the cliff's contours, and with its substantial length, there are countless different dive routes to be explored. The landscape is characterized by "blanquizal," areas where rocks lack algal covering due to sea urchin overgrazing. This is a testament to the popularity of the site among recreational and professional fishermen.
