Maravilla

Maravilla lies off Tenerife's coast in the Canary Islands, an archipelago in the Atlantic off northwest Africa that sees regular dive boat traffic out of the island's southern towns. The volcanic origin of Tenerife shapes much of its underwater terrain, with dive sites typically reached from coastal harbors along the southern and western shorelines. This particular reef is a beginner site with a maximum depth of around 16 metres, making it an easy dive for those staying close to shore. Divers here have also reported nudibranchs and octopus among the rocky reef structure.
