Scuba
This is a shore-friendly Tenerife reef dive that works best when the sea is flat and clear.

Freediving is only realistic on very calm days and in the shallowest parts of the reef.
Snorkel
The shallow edges can work for snorkeling when the water is calm, but the site is best treated as a scuba dive.
