THE BEST DIVE SITES IN TENERIFE
Is it worth diving in Tenerife?
TAKEAWAY. Diving is definitely the choice in Tenerife. We know the best dive sites, and in addition, shore diving is very popular in Tenerife. Mainly due to the fact that many bays are natural reserves where boats are not allowed to enter. Thanks to such restrictions, the underwater life in Tenerife is still very rich and beautiful.
The best dive site in Tenerife for beginners
First, Montana Amarilla in our town of Costa del Silencio. Dive site at the foot of the “Yellow Mountain”. The depth increases gradually, the entrance from the shore by a ladder and, most importantly, sensational underwater visibility.
The second dive site for beginners is ABADES. Also diving from the shore and here the entrance is even easier, because from the beach. An amazing place where you can meet a turtle. Highly recommended for beginners and children.
Certified divers have much more choices, so I urge all water lovers, nature lovers to do at least a basic Open Water Diver course.
Are there sharks in Tenerife?
YES. In Tenerife, you will not meet sharks of aggressive species, as these live a long distance from the shore. While diving in Tenerife, you can see the Angel Shark “Angel Shark”. This species does not attack humans, and is mainly found in winter from December to March.
Are there shipwrecks in Tenerife?
Yes, in Tenerife you can dive on wrecks. The most famous wreck is located in TABAIBA and is located at a depth of about 30m. We invite you there for wreck diving and deep diving. The El Penon wreck was sunk in 2006 and since then it has created an artificial reef for creatures and fish living there.
