The name means, “The small caves”, and is an interesting dive site for all levels of experience. Being volcanic in origin, Tenerife and the cliffs of Los Gigantes contain a number of caverns, some of which are safe to explore. The dive site is situated beneath the massive cliffs of Los Gigantes, a maximum depth of 16 metres makes it ideal for all divers.
The platform of rock drops from 6 to 16 metres and is heavily undercut with a series of small caverns. These are safe to enter and at no time are you out of sight of the entrance. Stingrays and lobsters are often seen inside, along with moray eels and a variety of other fish. Normally, divers enter the water at one end of the formation, traverse its length and the boat picks them up at the other end. Sometimes a current can allow a good drift dive. Don’t forget to bring your torch !!
