By the harbor at the town of Radazul, 15 km south of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is also some great diving to be found. Tenerife, at this point, hardly has a shelf, but rather plummets sharply to great depths as soon as we move away from the shore, and therefore the route we recommend sticks close to the dock breakwater to a maximum depth of 30 meters.

When we reach the edge of the blocks that form the breakwater, the sea floor plunges abruptly down a bank made up of rocks and areas of accumulated sand, shaping small caves and ridges, rapidly reaching depths of more than 100metres. Among the dock's blocks we spot parrot fish, trumpet fish, glasseyes, etc., and around them shoals of small fish seek refuge from the attacks of the striped barracudas, almaco jacks and comb groupers that come here to feed.
