Dive-site story
Located directly at the historic fishing port of Puerto de la Cruz in northern Tenerife, this sheltered site serves as a frequent training ground and relaxed excursion. Divers enter along the harbor ramp or stone stairs, descending over mixed sand and volcanic rock formations just outside the breakwater. The seafloor shelters macro critters, schooling fish, and visiting rays resting on the sandy flats.
Protected entry inside the harbor basin makes access straightforward when sea conditions on the north coast allow.
Winter and early spring bring angel sharks resting camouflaged in the sand patches.
Crevices along the outer breakwater harbor octopuses, morays, and small crustaceans.
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Summer and autumn offer the calmest seas on the north coast and warmer water temperatures.
