About this dive site

This dive site features a spectacular volcanic landscape with impressive arches, swim-throughs, and drop-offs. It is most famous for the enormous, dense shoals of roncadores (bastard grunts) that give the site its name and often surround divers. The topography and abundant marine life make it a classic Tenerife dive.
