Blue Light Through the Rock

Cueva del Zorro is a boat dive near Punta Rasca where a compact volcanic cavern opens into the blue Atlantic.

Dramatic light, shaded rock and a varied wall route make it especially rewarding when explored in a small group with a carefully planned dive profile.

Diving Cueva del Zorro

From the boat, we descend onto the rocky platform at around 12 meters and follow the volcanic wall toward the main cavern. Its two openings keep the blue water and natural daylight visible, creating beautiful contrasts between the shaded interior and the Atlantic beyond.

Bigeyes, trumpetfish and striped seabream may gather around the entrance, while porcupinefish, moray eels and Canarian lobster can be found beneath the overhangs and inside the rocky openings. Stingrays also sometimes rest within the cavern or along the surrounding bottom.

After passing through the main formation, the route continues along the wall toward another smaller cavern. Current is not always present, but it can become strong, so Aquarius selects the route and pickup plan carefully rather than forcing the group against the water.

The compact passages and changing light reward calm movement and precise body position. Cueva del Zorro shows why trim and buoyancy matter on dives like this, skills we develop further during our XTend on TB Trim and Buoyancy program.

Blue light through two openings – Natural daylight frames the cavern and creates striking underwater contrasts.
Life inside the volcanic wall – Bigeyes, trumpetfish, porcupinefish and occasional resting rays may appear around the shaded rock.
