Dive-site story
Situated along the southeast coast of Tenerife, Las Eras is a popular volcanic shore dive accessed from a sheltered inlet. Divers navigate past basalt reef structures and sand channels before reaching a steep drop-off where pelagic species and benthic rays patrol the boundary between rocky volcanic formations and the open sandy seabed.
Volcanic drop-offs with crevices concealing morays and small invertebrates
Frequent winter encounters with critically endangered angelsharks on the outer sand flats
Sheltered entry point making shore access straightforward in calm sea conditions
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving occurs year-round, with the warmest water in late summer and peak angelshark sightings throughout the cooler months.
