Dive-site story
Rising from the sandy seafloor off Tenerife's southwest coast, this submerged volcanic formation acts as a standalone oasis in open water. Divers navigate around basalt overhangs, step-like rock terraces, and surrounding sandy patches that attract Atlantic pelagics as well as bottom-dwelling rays.

Regular sightings of stingrays resting along the base of the rock

Seasonality
Calmer seas and warmer water characterize the summer and autumn, while winter brings cooler temperatures and increased chances to observe angelsharks.
