Gentle Tenerife reef dive with volcanic amphitheatre.
Gentle Tenerife reef dive with volcanic amphitheatre.
Palma Mar Roncadores is a gentle Tenerife reef dive built around a volcanic amphitheatre off Palm-Mar. The site starts on a plateau and drops into a rock-walled bowl where trumpetfish, moray eels, barracuda, and other fish life use the structure for cover. It rewards slow, relaxed diving and clean trim more than distance covered, with a profile that works across a wide range of comfort levels.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay relaxed over the plateau and give the rock edges room if the sea lifts. Move slowly; the fish life is best when you are not pushing into the structure.
Access Restrictions
Boat access and local sea-state planning are the normal pattern for the dive run.
Legal Notes
Follow local dive-briefing and marine-protection guidance before entering.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Depths of 6–22 m make this suitable for divers of all levels.
Freediving
The shallow plateau can work for controlled freediving in calm conditions, but the best scenery sits on the scuba line.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is limited to the shallowest, calmest parts; the amphitheatre is better appreciated underwater.
