Especialidad Barcos Hundidos (Wreck Diving)

Blue Bottom Diving runs three wreck sites as part of its regular dive rotation: El Condesito, Los Gemelos, and El Meridian. The wreck specialty course uses these pecios as its training ground, giving students dives on real structures rather than purpose-built training environments. The centre describes wrecks as 'fascinating windows to the past' — which is accurate enough for pecios that have had time to become functioning artificial reefs.

The specialty follows the SSI programme and covers the principles of responsible wreck penetration, buoyancy management around fragile structures, navigation, and line techniques. The Costa Adeje wrecks vary in profile, which gives the course practical range across different entry points, depths, and internal configurations.

Boats reach the wreck sites as part of the daily excursion schedule — the same logistics and safety setup used for all guided dives apply here. Oxygen and first aid are on board, one captain stays on the surface, and the centre's crew handles equipment before and after the dive. Rental equipment including MARES tanks in both aluminium and steel configurations is available.

For divers who want to extend into technical wreck diving, the centre also offers sidemount and XR Nitrox specialty courses, which pair naturally with more advanced penetration work on larger structures.
