That afternoon we decided to go on the RIB to the el Condisoto, a small wreck near the shore.  On dropping down to the wreck, the first thing you notice is that the sailors were clever enough to drop the ship in a natural basalt ampitheatre.  Clever chaps!  The wreck teems with life.

Sadly, the most interesting thing I found on the wreck was this queer creature...

The strange man-like fish sat there for ages until letting out a contented stream of bubbles and flitting away to some nook or cranny.  Only then did I realise what it had been doing...

Honestly - you think you're grabbing a quick 5 minutes and someone always has a camera.

...and then, just as I was thinking that the wreck had nothing left to offer, along came this chap. &nbsp;Tempting me into the dropoff, I had to chase him to get a decentish pic of him.

So what can I say. &nbsp;So far we have had 6 cracking dives here in Tenerife. &nbsp;Anyone making plans to go yet?

Next on the agenda, moray Cave and the most popular dive on the island, Stingray dive. &nbsp;Here goes.

After the usual buddy check (?) on the Rib, Mike caught up with Jay and I on the bottom at around 18 metres. &nbsp;Finning along gently we came across a monument to 3 dead divers at the mouth of a cave. &nbsp;how they died is still a mystery, so after noting mike soberly touching the cross into the cave for a quick look.

Caves aren't jay's bag, so he and mike waited while i popped in for an explore a short distance. &nbsp;I AM going back to this cave next year, equipped with sidemounts and deco gas. &nbsp;The number of potential squezzes and further caves seemed numerous! &nbsp;Really enjoyed seeing the headlight eyes of the fish in the gloom for a couple of minutes, then reluctantly, i turned and went back out to join mike and jay for a quick session with the morays.

Obviously, these fish know divers here, and were clamouring for a feed. &nbsp;Tough luck! &nbsp;We saved most of our mackerel for the stingrays!!
