Diving Angel Tenerife

Basaltic columns with a magnificent basaltic formation featuring octopus, yellow gorgonians, groupers and greater slipper lobster. Average depth 28 m

This bay is 6 km South of Los Gigantes on the west coast, protected from the main winds most of the year. This site can get busy in the summer. Sometimes, when there is strong current, the visibility can be poor and entrance tricky.

The divesite is located between playa San Juan and Alcalá in the South of Tenerife. Stairs lead to the small hidden bay through which we enter the dive site. You’ll see a lot of very interesting rock formations, e.g. one looks like a high heel - you can swim through and underneath the heel.

In Playa San Juan you can do a shore dive from the harbour or dive in the middle of the town in a beautiful bay next to a small outdoor gym. This is also where the name of the dive sites comes from. It almost always delivers great visibility due to the diverse rock formations close to shore.

up 10 minutes of boat ride from Playa San Juan, there is a cavern built into the shore with two halls (left and right) just 12 meters deep. The one on right goes a bit further, but the one on left has a hole in the ceiling that brings light into the cavern.

Accessible by boat just a few minutes from Playa San Juan, there is a nice V-shaped platform at 25 meters depth with a drop-off to 40 meters. The ocean on this side of the island is wilder and not so marked by tourism.
