Dive-site story
Situated along the sheltered coastline of Radazul on Tenerife's eastern shore, Playa de La Nea provides an accessible shore entry over dark volcanic sand and rocky outcroppings. Divers navigate slopes where mixed bottom topography gives way to rocky ridges, creating ideal shelter for benthic rays and macro critters. The protected orientation keeps wave action modest throughout most of the year, making it a reliable training spot and night diving destination.
Frequent encounters with common stingrays and angel sharks resting on the dark volcanic sand
Rocky ledges sheltering octopuses, cuttlefish, and moray eels
Calm, protected bay conditions well-suited for night dives and skill refresher sessions
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving runs year-round; winter and spring bring angel shark sightings, while late summer delivers the warmest water.
