Dive-site story
Atlantis is an offshore volcanic site situated along Tenerife's southwest coast.

Divers explore wide swim-throughs, overhangs, and deep sandy channels that sit between the towering rock formations.
Stepped hexagonal basalt columns resembling architectural ruins
Spacious swim-throughs and overhangs harboring nocturnal fauna
Frequent encounters with pelagic fish and several ray species
