This dive site, Cueva de Radazul, is located just 10 minutes off the coast of Tenerife, Spain. Divers descend to a prominent cliff situated on a sandy seabed at approximately 32 meters. This impressive rock formation hosts the entrance to a large cavern. While the overall maximum dive site depth is stated as 36 meters, the description notes the cavern's deepest part potentially reaches 49 meters, indicating the possibility for deeper exploration within the cavern. Both the cavern's entrance and interior are noted for their considerable size.
The site is a magnet for large marine life. Upon reaching the reef, divers are frequently greeted by a significant shoal of barracudas. It also serves as a crucial transit point for schools of pelagic species such as sawfish and amberjacks, making it a thrilling encounter for those seeking larger marine animals.
Due to the significant depths involved, particularly the cavern, and the potential for moderate currents as a passage area for large fish, this site is recommended for advanced divers equipped for deep and cavern diving. No specific best time to visit is mentioned, but the opportunity to encounter impressive pelagics and explore a spacious cavern makes it a highlight for experienced divers. It is not suitable for snorkeling or recreational freediving.
