Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Tufia offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Tufia is an easy shore dive, perfect for beginners or a relaxed second dive. Head out from the small beach, and you’ll find an open rocky reef at about 10-15m. We’ve seen plenty of cuttlefish here, often out in the open, alongside octopus and schooling damselfish. It's a great spot to refine buoyancy or test out new camera gear without any tricky conditions.
