Cueva de Matanza

Spectacular yellow gorgonians

This dive takes you to caves that are located between 20 and 35 metres deep where you can appreciate the beauty of yellow gorgonians. You need to leave from the pier of Puerto de la Cruz, as it is not very easy to reach from the coast.

A wander through the heart of the volcanoes

It is one of the most spectacular caves in the Canary Islands. There is no set path so the dive can be adapted according to the diver’s experience. You will find vaults, passages and gorges. You can swim among common two-banded sea bream, combers, black stingrays and alfosinos. But the highlight is undoubtedly the field of gorgonians that you can find on the sand platform.
