Alcalá
Tenerife, Spain
Alcalá is a beautiful shore dive for divers who enjoy easy depth, volcanic formations and plenty of small details to discover. Around 20 minutes from the dive center, this site offers relaxed diving with a maximum depth of around 14 metres, depending on the tide.
After entering from the ladder or making a giant stride, the dive leads you over two reef sections shaped by Tenerife’s volcanic coastline. Swim slowly, look closely and the site starts to come alive with reef fish, nudibranchs, octopus and other Atlantic surprises hiding around the rocks and overhangs.
For divers who enjoy a longer route, Alcalá can also reveal a few unusual remains, including parts of a car wreck and the crow’s nest of an old vessel. Easy, interesting and full of character, Alcalá is a great site for Open Water divers and relaxed guided shore dives.
