Tenerife 2012

A two-weeks vacation on Tenerife, Canary Island. We dived with Blue Explorers, former Easy Blue World, at the east and south coast. With a water temperature of 18°C, the dry suit was well motivated. Many for us new fish species since these were our first dives in the Atlantic south of Iceland. March 2012.
