Cueva de las Gambas
★★★★★
(1,059)
This is another of the most famous dives in Puerto del Carmen. The foot of the wall is around 40m deep, and is only suitable for experts divers.
Due to its depth, white tails can be seen giving way to three tails in the upper part of the reef. The cave shelters swarms of narwhal shrimp.
