About this site
El Acuario lies off the coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, an archipelago of volcanic origin in the Atlantic off northwest Africa. Dive sites along this coastline are typically reached by boat from towns on the island's southern or western shores, where the terrain drops through volcanic rock formations. This reef site reaches a maximum depth of around 24 metres and is rated a beginner dive.
