El Tubo
★★★★☆
(177)
Just a few meters from the shore of Garachico, there is an old flooded lava tube that starts around 12 meters in depth with a small entrance, grows as you dive deeper, and goes up to 35 meters with a huge exit. Amazing dive site to explore if you love caverns/caves. One of the most unique dive sites in Tenerife.
There are a couple of types of lobsters in the cavern, besides that, you can find rays, trumpetfish, octopuses, and even spotfin burrfish.
