About this dive site

This dive site is located in La Jaca, a small town one exit before Abades in Tenerife, Spain. It offers an amazing reef with ideal conditions for divers of all experience levels, characterized by an easy entrance and exit from shore. The underwater navigation typically involves exploring a rocky bottom reef system, though specific historical context or stories are not provided.

Beneath the surface, divers can expect to encounter a vibrant array of marine life typical of the Canary Islands. The rocky substrate is home to species such as parrotfish, ornate wrasse fish, trumpet fish, octopus, moray eels, stingrays, and cuttlefish, providing excellent opportunities for observing diverse fauna.

While the best time to visit isn't specified, the 'perfect conditions' suggest it's generally enjoyable year-round, though divers should be mindful that it 'sometimes can be windy'. Its shallow average depth of 9 meters and maximum depth of 18 meters make it particularly appealing for beginner divers, snorkeling, and freediving, offering ample time for exploration without significant depth challenges.
