Chica Bay - Puerto del Carmen

One of the most diverse diving areas on the island is Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen. Playa Chica bay is part of this wonderful divesite. It offers scope for everybody – no matter if you are a swimmer, snorkeller, or diver – beginner or professional.

The divesite Playa Chica bay offers “confined water” – conditions. Because of that we use and recommend it for try-out dives, courses, kids-diving and refresher courses.

Chica Bay has an easy entry from the beach and two long lava tongues protect the shallow area from waves and currents. Thanks to that people can start their first underwater attempts in a safe way. Compared to a pool however, you can see thousands of things like anemones, crabs, starfish, sea urchins, cuttlefish, sea hares, many fish species and much more.

If you dive further out, you can go to the left or right side of the Playa Chica bay and explore the unterwater world in about 12m depth. If you are lucky, you can find angel sharks, different types of rays, octopus and even sea horses in this area as well.

If you want to dive this divesite, drop us a line and we will arrange something.

Playa Jablillo in Costa Teguise

Playa Jablillo in Costa Teguise is around about 200m wide and is the smallest beach of Costa Teguise. It is Daivoon’s “housebay” and offers ideal conditions for try dives and beginner courses. The large stone wall separating the bay from the open ocean provides shelter from big waves and harsh current.

Photographers and experienced divers will also find countless things to enjoy on this easy and relaxed dive.

Playa Jablillo is our recommendation to anyone who wishes to experience our beautiful underwater realm for the first time in a calm and safe environment.

The beach offers an easy entrance and leads to a variety of underwater habitats. Many creatures find protection in the bay with ideal conditions making it a perfect nesting site for many species. The bay is home to arrow crabs, starfish, sepia and sea hares etc and plays host to various schools of colourful fish species. At high tide the maximum depth is about 5m which also makes the bay a great place to snorkel.

The stone wall is submerged at high tide which gives us the opportunity to leave the bay and dive outside. Along the wall barracudas, moray eels and sepia will be there to greet you in this wonderful underwater landscape. With a little luck you will be able to catch a glimpse of a beautiful ray here as well. With a maximum depth of about 15m, this spot is ideal for junior divers, families and open water students alike.

Black Beach Puerto del Carmen

The divesite Black Beach is named after the tiny little black beach on the corner of the old harbor in Puerto del Carmen. It also goes by the name of “Casa Chucho – House of the rays”, because the area is home to rays of all shapes and sizes – so be sure to keep your eyes peeled.

There’s a small rock wall to step down onto the shingle beach, but the guides are always there ready to lend a hand. The site offers a mixture of beautiful overhangs and unearthly rock structures for the divers to explore.

Following the harbour wall takes us steadily down to the end of the reef at about 39m. There is some beautiful topography and it is possible to see large groupers who almost seem to pose for the camera.

This is a fantastic divesite for open water and advanced divers alike. There is much to see and explore in the shallower depth: Angel Sharks, Rays, Sea Hares, Cuttlefish and Octopus to name but a few.

Black Beach also offers an alternative route to the Blue Hole swim through, with a beautiful wall, many over hangs and a small shrimp cave to explore on the way.

When the tides and currents are favourable, this entry point also allows for a lazy drift dive along the wall, exiting at Playa Chica.

Atlantic Museum

The Atlantic Museum is the first underwater art museum in Europe. It is situated in front of the coast in Playa Blanca and can be accessed only with a boat. 

You descend on a safety buoy, which makes it accessible for beginners as well. The guide will take you along a given route, which leads you to a max. depth of 17m in approx. 45min. You will see a large artificial reef formed by sculptures made with neutral pH concrete that over time encourages a variety of life to grow on them. Every statue has its own story to tell and is symbolic of a topical commentary on society today. Our specially trained Eco Dive Guides will give you further details to the meaning of the different statues.

 

Atlantic Museum

It is not allowed to touch the statues, as they are covered already in marine life. Jason de Caires Taylor, the artist who built this museum, wants to highlight the bond between art and nature. His intention is to make visitors more aware of the importance of the sea and all of its natural resources.

The Atlantic Museum offers not only statues but also a lot of marine life. Triggerfish, angelsharks and big shoals of fish live in the area surrounding the dive site.
