Playa Los Cristianos

★★★★☆ (709)

Los Cristianos beach is a great training dive site with its sandy entrance and sandy bottom. Although the visibility can get quite bad, that makes it even better for low visibility training dives. As it was a fisherman port before, you can find some “historic“ items in the water that attracts marine life.

Although there is not much fish around, angelsharks, a variety of rays and cuttlefish have been spotted here.
