Dive-site story
Situated along the volcanic coastline of Puerto del Carmen, this classic wall dive begins across a shallow rocky shelf before plunging into deep Atlantic waters. Basalt overhangs and crevices riddle the drop-off, sheltering large dusky groupers and moray eels. Looking out from the rock face into the open blue frequently reveals schools of barracuda, while the sandy base provides prime hunting ground for angelsharks and rays.
