Best for intermediate divers, 6-25m, boat entry, strong current.
Neptune’s Cave in North and East Tenerife offers a combination of open reef and a cave system ranging from 6 to 25 metres in depth. This site presents an overhead environment, requiring solid buoyancy control and experience with penetration diving. Divers encounter strong currents, making navigation and current-reading skills essential. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 25 metres, providing clear sightlines across the reef and into the cave entrance. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers must use a surface marker buoy to manage boat traffic during ascent. The site is best suited for intermediate divers capable of handling variable current conditions.

Plan your dive around slack water or the weaker tidal window to manage the strong currents, and confirm the timing with your local dive operator before heading out. Bring a surface marker buoy, as boat pick-up in current can be awkward without one.
