About La Tixera
La Tixera is a boat-access west-coast dive site near Playa San Juan with a V-shaped platform and a drop-off into open Atlantic water. The site feels wilder than more sheltered Tenerife bays, with lava structure, overhangs, and a strong sense of relief. Divers come here for the depth change and the mix of moray eels, octopus, rays, and Atlantic fish. It suits careful, buoyancy-controlled scuba more than casual shallow cruising.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
Watch depth and gas/NDL management on the platform and drop-off; keep buoyancy tidy around the relief.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only from Playa San Juan; no standard shore entry.
