Dive-site story
Located along the southeastern coast of Tenerife, Abades Bay offers a calm and accessible shore entry over a gently sloping sandy beach. Volcanic rocky reefs branch out on both sides of the bay, leading toward patches of seagrass where benthic species congregate. The site remains a staple for training and night diving due to its sheltered topography and straightforward navigation.
Reliable winter sightings of angelsharks resting on sandy patches
Expansive volcanic rock ridges harboring octopuses, morays, and cuttlefish
Sheltered conditions ideal for relaxed navigation and night dives
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is possible year-round, with the warmest water occurring in early autumn and the highest concentration of angelsharks occurring throughout the winter months.
