About this site
El Tablado is a dive area on the south coast of Tenerife, in the municipality of Güimar. The average depth is 10 metres, and divers can reach up to 15 metres.
The bottom is rocky and sandy, with small walls and small caves a few metres deep on both sides of the coast and a marine meadow in the middle of the bay. Access from the shore is easy, as a small jetty that also serves as a swimming area leads into the water.
There is no current, so the area is very sheltered, and it is a good place for beginners and for summer night dives. Conditions are ideal about 40 percent of the year, with light trade winds and southern weather.
