★★★★★
(2,409)
The crosses in Malpique is probably one of the most famous dive spots in this area. You will find 39 crosses set as a monument for the martyrs of Tazacorte. Besides exploring the amazing crosses, the area surrounding the monument is a beautiful dive site as well.
You will find electric rays in the sand, stingrays (which are quite common), and even angel sharks! And if you take a closer look, you can spot seahorses and nudibranchs.
