Dive-site story
Located off the volcanic southeast coast of Tenerife, this site is defined by a series of cavernous overhangs and basalt fissures opening out onto open sand. Atlantic trumpetfish congregate under the rocky ceilings in distinctive vertical postures. Divers explore shaded recesses harboring cleaner shrimp and resting rays before scouring the adjacent sandy plains for camouflaged angelsharks.
