About Playa San Juan, Gym
Playa San Juan, Gym is a shallow shore dive on Tenerife's west coast, entered from the beach or harbour-side bays in town. The site mixes sandy bottom, breakwaters and a rock formation around the mid-teens, so it suits relaxed shallow dives and easy training sessions. Visibility is often very good, but undertow and sand can spoil the day when the sea roughens up. Rays, morays and octopus are the usual headline sightings around the rocks and sand.
