Dive-site story
Situated along the rugged northern coast of Tenerife, Bollullo is an offshore volcanic dive characterized by basalt ledges, steep drop-offs, and open sand channels. Divers explore a rugged underwater terrain shaped by ancient lava flows that now shelter macro life and predatory pelagics. Because the site faces the open Atlantic, Atlantic swells dictate access, making boat departures from nearby Puerto de la Cruz the standard route out.
Rugged volcanic rock shelves, canyons, and small caverns formed by historic lava cooling
Frequent encounters with Atlantic stingrays and round stingrays resting on the sandy floor
Cruising schools of yellowmouth barracuda and occasional winter angelshark sightings
