Abades is a beautiful shore dive on Tenerife’s south-east coast, set beside a small coastal village with a calm, relaxed feeling. With easy conditions and a maximum depth of around 16 metres, it is a great site for Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water divers, relaxed guided dives and underwater photography.
The dive site has two reef areas, sandy patches and seagrass, which makes it a comfortable and varied place to explore. Swim slowly and you may spot rays, reef fish, octopus, nudibranchs and, with some luck, one of Tenerife’s more special visitors, the angel shark.
Abades is known as an important area for angel sharks, which makes the site even more meaningful. It is not just an easy dive, it is a place where you feel how alive and fragile the Atlantic underwater world can be.
