Abades Bay is a shore accessible salt water dive site, located at Avenida la Marina, Abades, Santa Cruz De Tenerife 38588, Spain. The maximum depth is 41-50ft/12-15m. The average visibility is 61-70ft/19-21m. Training platforms are available.
Abades is one of the best dive sites of Tenerife for all levels of divers interested in the marine life the island has to offer.
Located 15 kilometers east of the airport, this site is a marine protected area where you can dive all year round because it is protected from the trade winds, as well as the occasional south wind. Teeming with rare or endangered marine species: several resident green turtles, angel sharks, scorpion fish, and harlequin crabs, along with atlantic stingrays and large trumpet fish, and much more, you can be sure that each dive here will have something to offer.
The site has two main reefs, a more secluded deep reef, as well as a part with caverns and a wall with a drop-off from 5m to 12m deep.
