Exciting wrecks
The marine world of the coastal village of Puerto Colón, located in the Adeje municipality, boasts two wrecks, known as El Gemelos and consisting of a steel yacht and a fishing tug. Nowadays, the old parts serve as a habitat for various marine creatures, such as eagle rays. Scuttled in 2006 to form an artificial reef, the El Peñón wreck located in the Tabaiba neighbourhood of El Rosario is almost perfectly intact and awash with European pilchard and Atlantic mackerel. Divers are also very likely to spot parrotfish, trumpet fish and many other species of small fish looking for shelter at this site. The small fish attract predators, such as barracuda, rays, amberjacks and pollock, hunting for prey.
