About Punta Tiñosa
Punta Tiñosa is a boat-accessed volcanic reef off Puerto del Carmen with stepped lava terraces, overhangs, and cave sections. The route can start in shallower garden areas and build into deeper walls, so it suits divers who want a varied scuba day, steady buoyancy, and time to look for rays, angel sharks, and smaller critters along the structure.
