About La Caleta Reef
La Caleta Reef is a Tenerife volcanic reef built around a long finger of rock that drops from shallow water into a sandy bottom and overhangs. It is usually reached by a short boat ride, and the site can also be approached from the coast when conditions allow. Expect light to limited current, good visibility on calmer days, and regular sightings of rays, morays, octopus, barracuda, and cuttlefish. It suits guided dives that want an easy-to-read reef profile rather than a hard drift.
