El Bajonito: volcanic pinnacle and fish life
Use the boat run from the marina, then circle the pinnacle on the route that matches your certification and the day’s current.
About El Bajonito
El Bajonito is a volcanic pinnacle in south Tenerife near the marina, with a broad rock tower, multiple routes around the structure, and strong fish life. It is usually dived by boat and is best treated as a site for confident divers because the profile changes quickly from the top into the main body, and currents can strengthen around the rock. The appeal is the mix of exposed volcanic relief, schooling fish, and the chance of larger predators moving through the point when conditions line up.
