Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Tenerife, Abades Mountain features volcanic rock formations merging into wide sand channels. Divers enter directly from the sheltered bay and navigate past rocky ledges, basalt blocks, and patches of seagrass where benthic species camouflage against the seafloor.
Volcanic reef ridges and sand flats home to rays and angel sharks
Sheltered entry points providing predictable conditions for training and photography
Abundant macro subjects hiding among rocky crevices and algae patches
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 winter and spring favored for spotting angel sharks and late summer bringing the warmest seas.
