About this site
The Steps is a coastal wall dive on Tenerife, named for a huge prismatic lava rock formation that forms a series of steps. It is dived from a boat, with depths running from 10 to 40 metres.
Big pelagic fish pass by, and shoals of bogues and barracudas are seen here. Three swim-throughs add to the dive. The site is rated advanced.
