Boat or Shore Dive:
Boat.
Another of our undisturbed sites. The only people we share this with is the local submarine !! Here we drop into approximately 16 meters and with a short swim drop down to 30 meters and the home of the local family of Stingrays. A group of 5 Rays live in the area and can be hand fed, This is a truly humbling experience when these huge animals glide across you and gently take food from your hand. You will also be overwhelmed by Weavers, Sardines, and Roncadores. All of this is centred around a small wooden wreck .
Back to TopPequeno ValleSuitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive:
Boat.
This has to be the newest dive site in Tenerife. It is
virtually undisturbed and always brings surprises the more we
explode the area. After dropping in off our boat we descend to
approximately 16 metres and then swim along to a small wall and
this is where the Moray Eel’s can be found. Unlike most dive
sites in Tenerife the aquatic life here is not tamed to divers
so treat us with suspicion! Huge schools of Sardines and
Roncadores nestle in between the two rock formations and we have
regularly seen huge Roughtail Stingrays. A great adventure dive
down to around 22 metres.
Back to TopBahia NauticaSuitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat.
Another exclusive dive site for us at Dive and Sea Tenerife. This one is very shallow and offers great rock formations with local aquatic life everywhere. With depths at a maximum of 12m this one is ideal for divers having completed the PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, as well as the more experienced diver. Octopus, Cuttle fish, Zebra Bream and Garden Eel's can be found within just a short distance of the boat.
Back to TopMorena CuevaSuitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat.
A fantastic dive site that offers a look into the world of the Moray Eel. On this site we take our time diving the rocky formation with its many openings and crevices to discover the Moray's. A wide variety are present from Large Brown Moray's, medium sized sleek Black Moray's and the ever watchful and intimidating looking Fangtooth Moray Eel. Easy dive from our dive RIB with lots to see other than Moray's including Atlantic Damsel's, Blue-fin Damsel's, Bream's and the occasional Octopus.
Back to TopCala PedregosoSuitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore.
This is one of our newest dive site additions. It really has to be the easiest shore dive ever! After kiting up it is just a 10m walk into the ocean and then put on your fins and a 5m swim see's us descend into 6m of water. Her we cruise along small rock formations on one side and sandy bottom on the other. In the sand can be found Cuttle fish, Common Ray's, Star fish and Lizard Fish. In the rocks Damsel fish dart around with Wrasse, File fish, Blacktail Combers and Fireworms. Everywhere are a huge variety of Urchins, not the bad kind but the most stunning colours and shapes that are rarely seen on dive sites! When talking to some "locals" they said no-one had ever dived around there before so we truly are lucky to find an untouched site and will be keeping it that way.
Back to TopMoon PoolsSuitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore.
The Moon Pools can be reached by shore and starting by a giant stride, however when using the RIB a simple back roll and a few minutes swim, saves you struggling down a precarious path. Once into the "Moon Pool" aquatic life consists of Scorpion fish, Huge Arrowcrabs, Moray Eel’s and Lizard fish. The truly stunning part of the dive is when the sun streams down into the pools giving some of the best photographic opportunities in Tenerife. A absolute must when diving in Tenerife.
Back to TopBlack CoveSuitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore.
Black Cove used to be a hot favourite amongst divers several years ago but quickly became “over-dived”. Now the site is returning to a quality site again. Octopus have returned along with Cuttlefish, Lizardfish, and a variety of Anemones and soft coral. Sometimes it is possible to come across a Sting Ray or two as well as Sardines and Roncadores.

Playa NegraSuitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Boat or Shore.
A sandy beach takes us straight into the dive site, so although this can be done with a dive RIB, there is no need. Huge rocks are placed amongst the expansive sandy bottom offering plenty of opportunity to discover the local aquatic life. As another exclusive dive site to us, the area is totally untouched and so much plant life can be found giving the whole area a red tinge as the sun shines down into just 6m of water. A really relaxing dive that now is a must for all of friends.
Back to TopAbades MountainSuitable for: All levels of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore.
Back to TopPlaya AbadesSuitable for: All level's of Diver. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore.
Playa Abades or Abades Beach is a shore dive. To the entry point is around a 500m walk, so you may need assistance to gain entry due to the distance over sand. One in the water the walk is really worthwhile. The rock formations are stunning and the site never fails to disappoint with its abundance of aquatic life. For novice divers the site is great as a first experience underwater, there is a large amount of life to see, including Barracuda, Moray Eels, Cuttlefish, Trigger fish and Octopus. A really great dive for all experience levels in Tenerife.

Back to TopPunta PrietaSuitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore.
Punta Prieta is an advanced dive. There is an abundance of life available to see Moray Eel, Stingray, Seahorses, Trigger fish and Sea Urchins. From 30 meters there is coral, and small caves to explore.
Back to TopTabaibaSuitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore.
Tabaiba wreck dive on the northeast coast of Tenerife was the former tugboat, El Ratón, It's a stunning wreck which is still intact and you can enter the engine room and bridge, with the appropriate training . The wreck is a 100m swim from entry, but there is plenty of interesting life to see en route. Although this is a recently sunk boat it has started to attract a large amount of life such as Barracuda, Garden Eels and Stingray. Fantastic wreck speciality opportunity as well as having the chance to ride a bike underwater! The bicycle can be found anywhere from 18m-30m and divers always love to have a go!
Back to TopRadazulSuitable for: Advanced Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore.
Another shore dive located in the north of Tenerife offers some great opportunities for something different. With its recently refurbished beach and entry points we glide by the marina wall and have a number of options. First we can go to see the monument or we can go to a small rock formation that few know about that hides its own family of Sea Horses. there are also small caves to view before returning to the surface and a simple walk out up the new steps.
Back to TopGarachicoSuitable for: Open Water Divers and above. Boat or Shore Dive: Shore or Boat.
This dive site is located over the other side of the island of Tenerife, so becomes a full day out. We combine this dive with a couple of others as it takes some 1 1/2 hours to drive there. Once there the entry point is very easy and after a short swim we come across a large wall teaming with life and then on to a massive stunning arch. In amongst the crevices are Anemones, Octopus and Cuttle fish. This dive is well worth a day out.
