Dive-site story
Situated off the rugged volcanic coastline of Puerto de la Cruz in northern Tenerife, Semiramis sits beneath the coastal cliffs of the same name. Divers navigate a dramatic volcanic seascape shaped by old basalt lava flows, featuring steep ridges, fissures, and undercut ledges. The bottom drops quickly into clear oceanic waters where Atlantic and subtropical species mingle among the rocky architecture.
Rugged volcanic basalt structures with pronounced crevices and swim-through channels
Frequent encounters with Canary Island endemic fish species resting along the rock faces
Occasional ray and angelshark sightings over the deeper sand patches
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
