Rocky entry, brief enclosed opening, then an easy coastal traverse with steady fish life; best for divers comfortable with a fiddly start.
About Black Cove
Black Cove is a volcanic shore dive in southeast Tenerife. A short rocky descent leads into a shallow pool, then a brief tunnel and open-topped chamber before the route opens onto a rocky coastal traverse. The site suits divers who are comfortable with a slightly awkward entry and an enclosed start, but it stays shallow and straightforward once you are past the first section. Expect mixed reef life and a compact, easy-to-read layout.
