Condesito
In 1972 the Condesito suffered engine trouble during a storm, and crashed into the rocks off the coast of Los Christianos. Although no one died in the incident, it did induce the building of a lighthouse three years later.
The wreck is still reasonable well intact, and provides an interesting place to explore and an opportunity to see how marine life has taken over the ship since it came to rest. There are also a number of rock formations to explore that also hide and sustain a number of marine species.
Huge fish such as trumpetfish well over a metre in length are easily identifiable, and their abundance is only surpassed by lizard fish. It is not uncommon to spot barracuda, red sea stars, rays and eels in the nooks and crannies of the wreck, and it is astonishing and wonderful to observe and interact with them.
Depths reach approximately 21m, and visibility anywhere up to 35m+, creating excellent diving conditions. The diversity of the site and its inhabitants make for a truly memorable dive.
