Dive-site story
Located along the eastern coastline of Tenerife near Radazul, El Avion centers on the wreckage of a small light aircraft resting on an open sandy slope. The fuselage and remaining structure serve as an artificial aggregation point for pelagic and benthic Atlantic species, contrasting with the expansive sand banks that surround it.
