This dive site, Tiritaña, is an easy coastal dive situated northwest of Media Almud bay in Spain's Canary Islands. Divers navigate along a beautiful white sandy floor interspersed with striking volcanic rock formations, creating a unique and picturesque underwater topography. The site is characterized by its relatively shallow depths, making it ideal for relaxed exploration.
Marine life here is abundant, particularly for macro enthusiasts. The volcanic rocks and sandy areas provide habitat for plenty of cleaning shrimps, vibrant anemones, and numerous damsels. While primarily known for its smaller inhabitants, divers may also enjoy the occasional passage of some rays gliding across the sandy bottom.
Tiritaña is an ideal spot for underwater photographers focusing on macro subjects due to its rich small stuff. Its shallow average depth of 6 meters and maximum of 13 meters also makes it perfectly suitable for both snorkeling and freediving. It's considered a beginner-friendly location, offering enjoyable conditions for divers of all experience levels.
