Canary Islands

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Spain

Apart from a little reef close to the shore not much to see here. Very shallow region with sandy and rocky bottom. 

Easy access from the shore

Playa de la Américas

Las Americas Beach Front

Easy dive, perfect for try divers.
There's always some curious fishes around.
If you're luck you see rays or turtles.

From the beach

Playa las Vistas Los Cristianos

Dive out from the bay and leave the water through the rocky beach. Not recommended in case of high waves!
Some funny objects under water. Interesting fauna and flora.

At the end of Los Cristianos towards the guaza rock. Right after the Costamar building. Enter the sea at the rocky bay.

La cueva de las morenas

Description: WWII Minesweeper
Depth: 30 metres
WW2 German minesweeper used in later life as a dolphin viewing ship from Los Cristianos.  The vessel was purposely sunk on 23rd October 2005. This dive is very interesting as the wreck is intact and upright.  We have spotted a resident grouper on numerous dives and lots of rays.  The wreck is making an interesting artificial reef for the future as marine life starts to flourish.

We load the boat, Celtic Wave, in Las Galletas Marina and take the short journey of 10 minutes to Palm Mar to the site of El Meridian.

El Meridian

Awesome dive site!!! My best dive ever!!!

Cueva de Palmar is also known as Palmar Cave.

Cueva de Palmar

When you descend into the water you enter a large swim through, then when you reach the end you will see a large array of sea life including a school of Roncadores, as you continue along the dive you can see Trumpet Fish, Monk Fish and Octopus, as you dive deeper you can see black coral and reef walls where you then enter a 4 metre swim though on the return to the boat



Roncadores de la Falla

It's an easy dive.
There´s a field of rocks and mooring blocks, that turns into flat sand at the mouth of the bay. 
Some small fish, and TURTlES! 
The turtles are there daily.
Many people feed them, so they aren't shy.
Normally there isn't any current.
There are usually other divers.
Be carfully with the many fishermen and boat
traffic.

All in all it's a nice and easy dive for all divers.

Have fun! 

Follow the TF1 motorway until it terminates (at adeje, although the motorway will soon be extended). Turn left, towards the sea, direction Armeñime. Turn off this mainroad BEFORE Armeñime, and pass the camel park.
Follow the road all the way down to the sea, and you should end up in El Puertito.


Puertito

Interesting site to visit the protected black coral!
