Portillo
Advanced Tenerife volcanic reef dive with a deeper cave section.
A boat-launched volcanic reef dive with a shallow top, deeper sand slope, and a cave section that demands good buoyancy.
About Portillo
Portillo is an advanced volcanic reef dive on Tenerife where a shallow reef top drops onto sand and then into a cave entry at depth. The appeal is the volcanic terrain rather than easy access: it is a guided, deeper dive that rewards control, buoyancy, and comfort in overhead space. Treat it as a deliberate advanced profile, not a casual reef pass, and plan for the deeper cave section only when conditions and your training line up.
