This dive is a good option when there is rough southwest sea. It stands out for its purely volcanic rocky landscape, dotted with white sand. <\/p>\n

In this place there is an excellent representation of many of the Canarian ecosystems in a very small space.
In the upper part, the rocky bottom is covered with a colorful blanket of algae, below 10 m the diadema urchin has generated an extensive whitewash and the rock, before disappearing into the sand fields, usually forms cliffs and caves.<\/p>\n

Below 40-50 m, black coral forests grow, only accessible to trained divers.<\/p>\n

Access is from land and in the parking lot<\/strong>, located relatively close, we can comfortably equip ourselves, and then go down with the equipment along a path and enter the water through one of the two metal stairs.<\/p>\n

As the diving area is very large, two routes<\/strong> are suggested, one to the right of the entry point and the other to the left.<\/p>\n

Both routes allow you to adapt to different levels, varying the maximum depth of the dive.<\/p>\n

In caves and hollows it is interesting to look for animals such as moray eels, octopuses, giant anemones, bryotes and even narwhal shrimp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When swimming above the sand, it is important to observe carefully as angelsharks, torpedo rays and stingrays are common.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
