Dive into a diving adventure in Los Gigantes, Tenerife

 

Our island is synonymous with sea, cliffs, beaches and cliffs. We are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and by the volcanic lava that floods our coasts and our seabed. At the same time as we get to know the surface of the Canary Islands, it is a good option for a complete holiday to explore the vastness of the archipelago's sea. Today we are going to show you how to have the best diving experience in Los Gigantes and Tenerife.

 

According to 2018 data, recreational scuba diving has 15 million practitioners worldwide and is increasing by 5% annually. The growth of nature-related activities has been exponential in recent decades. All travellers are looking for that different activity, a break from the monotony and a new lifestyle. This has benefited many entrepreneurs and self-employed people on the island who have seen an ideal way to show the Canary Islands from a different angle.

 

The area of Los Gigantes is one of the most beautiful dive sites on the island. A wonderful place to get you started in this new sport or for experts to find new sites to add to their checklist.

 

The Atlantis area is one of the most outstanding, as its mythical name attests. This place was formed thousands of years ago, when multiple volcanic eruptions ravaged this area of the island. The solidified lava mimics a kind of ruined city formed by basaltic columns. This triangular reef formation is located only a few minutes away from Puerto de Los Gigantes, a departure point for expeditions.

 

The descent will be between 15 and 30 metres deep and you will be able to visit sea caves and discover a multitude of small marine fauna and flora. Moray eels, samas, gorgonians and anemones are some of the species you will find on your way to the depths. In addition to this landmark spot, there are many other nearby routes such as Punta Barbero, Barranco Seco, Las Cuevitas or Punta Tamiamo.
