History
The coastal seabed reflects Tenerife’s volcanic origin; many dive sites are formed from ancient lava flows that provide habitat complexity for marine species.
Conservation
Operators encourage no-touch policies, reef-safe sunscreens, and responsible buoyancy to limit contact with volcanic reef and benthic communities.

Bring a reusable water bottle
Hydrate before and after the dive — the full session runs around four hours and dehydration increases ear and fatigue issues.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect skin topside and the marine environment; apply before arrival since creams should not contaminate suit or gear.
Wear sturdy water shoes
Entry is from a rocky shore; shoes with good grip make the walk to the water and boat ladders safer.
Declare medical conditions
Tell staff about ear, sinus, or heart issues and any medications during booking and at check‑in for safety screening.
Swimsuit
Wear under your wetsuit to stay comfortable during gearing and after the dive.

Light wetsuit or rash guard
