Dive-site story
Situated along the eastern coast of Tenerife near Puertito de Güímar, this site features a seafloor shaped by ancient volcanic basalt flows meeting open sand channels. Divers navigate around submerged rocky ridges, ledges, and crevices that shelter macro life before sloping out into deeper sandy expanses where elasmobranchs rest during the day. The location offers relatively calm conditions inside the bay area, though winds from the northeast can build chop along the exposed outer sections.
Volcanic rock fingers extending onto open sand flats with extensive overhangs
Regular sightings of angel sharks resting along sandy bottoms during cooler months
Sheltered rock formations harboring diverse macro critters and nudibranchs
