English channel. Red Sea. Maldives. Barrier reef, and, er., just about
anywhere but Tenerife ...

OK. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but I found the diving to be a bit
"samey". See the same old volcanic rock, blue fishes, spiney urchins on
just about every dive.

There is a small "wreck" that was deliberately sunk in about 21m, where
you can get to feed the stingrays.

I dived with Coral Sub when I was last there:

but theres (or was!) a good English run place in Los Gigantes who I
dived with some 13 (ish) years ago...

Thanks Gordon,

I thought that might be the case. It will be made worse by the fact that
it's only 8 weeks since I was on a Red Sea liveaboard.
I'm just hoping that there is more to see than on the dives I've done in
Turkey.
