About this site
Los Arcos is a boat dive site off Tenerife, built around a rock formation with three rock arches. A memorial to Jacques Cousteau sits under the biggest arch.
Depths run from 15 to 25 metres over rocky terrain, and the rock formations with their arches are the main draw of the dive. Divers have also reported octopuses and moray eels around the rocks. The site is reached by boat, the bottom is rock, and it is graded intermediate.
