# Las Eras Dive Site, Tenerife | Barbarian Diving Source: https://barbariandiving.com/las-eras-dive-site-tenerife/ [← All dive sites](https://barbariandiving.com/dive-sites/) SHORE DIVE · SOUTH TENERIFE # Las Eras, South Tenerife Las Eras is one of the most versatile dive sites on Tenerife south coast: a sheltered shore entry leading to a shallow reef, a tunnel system starting around 12 metres, and a wall that drops well past 30 metres for those trained to go deeper. DIVE SITE OVERVIEW REGION South Tenerife ACCESS Shore dive · Las Eras RECOMMENDED LEVEL Open Water to Advanced (flexible depth) TYPICAL DEPTH 5-14 m on the shallow reef MAXIMUM DEPTH Up to 35 m on the wall for trained divers WATER TEMPERATURE 18-24°C ## Why We Love Las Eras Very few sites in Tenerife genuinely suit both a first open-water dive and an experienced diver chasing depth, but Las Eras manages it. The shallow reef alone is rewarding, and the tunnel-and-wall route beyond it gives more experienced divers a real reason to go back. It is also a site with a bit of personality: tucked into a shelf on the wall is a small Buddha statue, the kind of detail that turns a great dive into a memorable one. Las Eras is a small, quiet village on Tenerife south coast, and its dive site is known for offering something genuinely different depending on how deep you want to go. Entry is from a sheltered bay, keeping the approach calm and straightforward even when there is some swell running outside. Just outside the bay, a reef sits in as little as 5 to 14 metres, already busy with marine life. Divers who want to go further can follow a tunnel system starting around 12 metres, working through swim-throughs and caves before reaching a steep wall that drops past 30 metres. UNDERWATER LANDSCAPE The shallow reef just outside the bay is where most of the dive marine life concentrates, with plenty to see even without going deep. From around 12 metres, a tunnel leads through the rock for some distance before opening into caves and swim-throughs. Divers continuing further reach a steep wall dropping well past 30 metres, one of the more dramatic pieces of underwater terrain on this stretch of coast, and the point where rays and occasional angel sharks are most often seen. MARINE LIFE ## Marine life you might see Barracuda & Trumpetfish YEAR-ROUND Regularly seen even on the shallow reef, sometimes in loose schools. Giant Pufferfish & Grey Triggerfish YEAR-ROUND Common sightings around the reef and tunnel entrances. Canarian Lobster & Moray Eels YEAR-ROUND Tucked into rocky crevices throughout the site. Rays & Garden Eels YEAR-ROUND Seen in the sandy patches at the edge of the reef and near the wall, occasionally alongside angel sharks. CONDITIONS & SUITABILITY Entry Sheltered shore entry from a small beach in a protected bay. Current Usually mild; can pick up occasionally, particularly near the deep wall. Temperature Approx. 18°C in winter to 24°C in summer. Best season Year-round. Exposure protection 5 mm is comfortable for most divers; some prefer 7 mm in winter, especially for the deeper wall. PERFECT FOR Open Water divers on the shallow reef, and Advanced or Deep-certified divers looking to explore the tunnel system and wall down to 35 metres. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR The deep wall option (30-35 metres) requires an Advanced Open Water certification or equivalent; newly certified divers should stick to the shallow reef. 💡 BARBARIAN INSTRUCTOR TIP Agree on your route before descending: Las Eras rewards divers who commit to either the shallow reef or the deep wall rather than trying to do both in one dive. ## Frequently asked questions How deep is Las Eras?
