About this site
Ali Baba's Cave lies along the coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, an archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa administered by Spain. The island's volcanic shoreline is dotted with sites like this one, typically reached by short boat trips or shore entries from nearby coastal towns. This is a technical dive reaching around 45 metres, and its cave structure means depth can shift with the tide. Divers have also reported unexpected currents in the cave, so route awareness matters more here than on open reef dives. Grouper have been spotted in the area as well.
