Dive-site story
Located along the eastern coast of Tenerife, this site begins with an easy shore entry from the protected marina steps before opening onto a steep volcanic drop-off. Divers descend along dramatic underwater basalt ledges and boulder fields to locate a sunken memorial cross resting on the deep shelf. The clear coastal waters offer excellent views into the blue where pelagic species cruise alongside resident bottom-dwellers inhabiting the rocky fissures.
