Dive Spot Guide•
Black Tip
Black Tip is a boat-only Tenerife reef dive with rocky ledges.
Local operator required
Use a local dive center or charter; the site is boat-only and is best run as a guided outing.
Plan for a short boat run, shaded rockwork, and a torch-friendly route; it is more about relaxed exploration than hard current diving.
About Black Tip
Black Tip is a boat-only Tenerife dive built around rocky ledges and cornices that invite a slow, exploratory route. Shaded cuts and overhangs make a torch worthwhile, and good buoyancy pays off as you work along the rock. Divers come here for red coral, morays, rays, seahorses, and other small life rather than a big, deep profile. It suits calm-day boat planning and a relaxed pace.
