All about Kalais Wreck dive site
Wreck
Depth max
33 m
Diver level
Advanced
Visibility
to 30 m
Because of the depth, low visibility (15-30m/49-98ft), and strong currents, this dive site is only recommended for advanced-level divers. The Kalais wreck is located 15 minutes away by boat from the port of Las Palmas. It is 110m/361ft long and 24m/79ft wide, and lies at a depth of 33m/108ft. It was a cargo ship carrying bags of cement. Because of a leak in her hull and some of the parts being dismantled by thieves, she sank in 1978 during a strong storm. Now she sits quietly on a sandy bottom on her side. The ship and her well-preserved compartments are home to many species of marine fauna. The almost untouched deck, corridors, and holds of the Kalais are especially interesting for divers to explore. The site is also suitable for photography and diver training. According to some information sources, access to the Kalais wreck is officially prohibited at the moment.
