Dive Spot Guide•
El Hongo
El Hongo is a wall dive with simple access and clear water.
Local operator required
Useful for tide timing, shore parking, and choosing the best access mode.
El Hongo is a Puerto del Carmen wall dive with shore or boat access, strong visibility, and an advanced feel on deeper, tide-dependent days.
About El Hongo
El Hongo is a mushroom-shaped volcanic reef off Puerto del Carmen, built around a steep wall and a distinctive rock formation. It suits divers who want a clear, fishy wall dive with simple shore or boat access, but the deeper profile and tide-dependent current make it better for confident, certified divers and a slightly more relaxed shore day.
