About this dive site

This dive site, Cueva del Diablo, is a very shallow and easy cave dive located in the Canary Islands, Spain. The site is characterized by a large, spacious cave chamber resembling a church vault, making navigation straightforward and enjoyable. There is no specific history or story provided for this natural formation, but its beauty makes it a popular local attraction.

Inside the Cueva del Diablo, divers can admire beautiful plays of color created by the light entering the cave, contributing to a unique underwater atmosphere. The site is home to various marine life, notably Cerianthus (tube anemones) and their commensal Stenorhynchus lanceolatus (arrow crabs), often seen "dancing" in the gentle currents.

This dive site is suitable for beginners due to its shallow depth and ease of access. The best time to visit for optimal light and marine life is generally during the calmer seasons, though specific seasonal highlights for the listed animals are not provided. It is also an excellent spot for wide-angle photography and macro observation, offering a relaxing and visually rewarding experience for both scuba divers and freedivers.
