Diving guide
If diving is your chosen sport, or likely to be, one of the names you are likely to come across when browsing for a visual guide to the waters off these islands is Sergio Hanquet.

28.07.2010 - A widely respected underwater photographer, originally from Belgium, Hanquet has lived in South Tenerife for many years, and has perhaps spent as much time underwater photographing fish and cetaceans has he has above water with the human species.
His photographs are quite simply wonderful, and would encourage anyone to don wetsuit and breathing apparatus and take the plunge.
Now, to make your dive even more instructive, Sergio has just produced an extremely handy laminated guide to the fishes you are likely to encounter on a dive in these waters.  The pages (two in all) are covered in weather resistant hard plastic, measure 13x18 cm, with 62 species listed and are intended for use underwater but are ideal for use in bad weather conditions above water too.
For more information on Sergio, his photographs, and his guides to diving, visit his website www.mardefoto.com and discover a new dimension to the oceans.
