Tesoro Negro is an advanced boat dive with reef, cave, and shark life.
Tesoro Negro is a boat-access cave and reef site off Fuerteventura that mixes an overhang, reef walls, and sandy bottom life. It suits experienced divers who want a dramatic profile, shark and ray chances, and a site where buoyancy and boat timing matter more than easy shoreline access. Plan for moderate current and exposed sea conditions, and treat it as a rewarding advanced day-dive rather than a casual reef hop.
