1) Los Chuchos
Theme: Rays, sandy patches, reef life
Why divers love it: Frequent ray sightings over light sand make for relaxed, photogenic dives. You’ll also find bream, barracuda passing by, and macro along the rocky edges.
Good to know: Gentle profile that suits most certified divers. We brief positioning and approach to minimise stress on marine life.
2) Los Champiñones
Theme: Dramatic lava “mushroom” formations
Why divers love it: The sculpted volcanic rock creates arches and silhouettes that look great in photos. Expect wrasse, trumpetfish, and the occasional octopus hiding in the cracks.
Good to know: Navigation is straightforward with our map briefing; stay aware of buoyancy around overhead shapes.
3) Palm Mar Cave
Theme: Cavern ambiance & light beams
Why divers love it: When the sun angle is right, light shafts make this a favourite for photographers. Reef walls nearby host morays and nudibranchs.
Good to know: We brief limits and communication clearly so everyone enjoys the cavern safely and comfortably.
4) El Condesito (Wreck)
Theme: Historic coastal wreck & reef
Why divers love it: A classic Tenerife wreck site with plenty to explore around the structure and adjacent reef. Fish schools gather here and you’ll often spot trumpetfish and lizardfish.
Good to know: Conditions vary; we choose the day’s route according to experience and sea state.
5) Montaña Amarilla
Theme: Golden cliffs, arches & reef life
Why divers love it: Volcanic shapes and colour contrasts make this a beautiful, easygoing dive with lots to see for newer and experienced divers alike.
Good to know: Expect mellow exploring and time to enjoy the scenery; nice for relaxed holiday diving.
Plan Like a Pro: Boat Diving Las Galletas
We run one morning outing at 09:00 with two different sites and usually return around lunchtime. Transfer from the dive center to Las Galletas takes about five minutes in our VAN, and the mooring is roughly 30 m from the drop-off. Divers carry their own kit — including cylinders — that short distance. If you’d like Nitrox (typically 32%), please request it when booking. Briefings include clear maps so everyone knows the route and safety points, and we keep groups small for comfort.
- Tell us your wish-list sites early: we pair the day’s two dives to match conditions and experience on our boat diving Las Galletas outings.
- Keep your kit compact: bring a small deck bag/drybag and label loose items for quick, tidy boarding.
- Photo notes: Palm Mar Cave is great for sun-beams; Los Champiñones rewards steady buoyancy around lava shapes.
- Wildlife etiquette: at Los Chuchos, enjoy rays from a respectful distance and avoid fin-kicking the sand.
- Comfort tips: hydrate, have a light snack between dives, and consider motion-comfort if you’re wave-sensitive.
