Las eras is a fantastic Dive to take in along with El Raton if you are staying in Las Americas or Los Cristianos. The entry is from the shore and it can be very choppy and difficult to get going or come in if there is a swell on. Swim out past the headland and you are into 10m of water and a whole new world opens up. Lovely rock formations and critturs galore. Watch out for Atlantic Rays and Sting Rays. Also look out for Scorpion Fish and some of the beautiful anemones that can be found along this coast.

Great dive site from a rocky shallows where one can off-gas and play with all the critturs. Great tech dive on the boat which is now showing signs of old age. Easy penetration to wheel house and the hold. Even get down into accomm with a squeeze.

Great Dive Site access is feither rom an old public swimming pool at high tide (which is filled from a channel through the rocks) or by steps. Surge can make access and egress difficult. Swim out to the wreck following an old pipe which has anemones, cuttlefish and the occasional moray. The wreck is fantastic penetration to the wheelhouse and hold is poss but be wary of silt and sharp metal. Loads of interest for the experienced diver and a great decompress area of volcanic rock where you can off-gas and enjoy a myriad of fish including the cutest Blennies.
