Punta de Tacorón

Punta de Tacorón is located 15 minutes from the marine reserve of the Sea of Calms, to the west, and next to the natural pools of Tacorón. These pools were created by lava expelled from the adjacent volcanoes, which provided the perfect conditions for us now to enjoy several diving spots in their vicinity.

The main feature of this dive is the basaltic rock, around 15 meters high, a refuge for different species and protruding out of the surface, allowing to observe the incredible sight of the two worlds at once, LAND and SEA. But that's not the only thing you can enjoy here; we will traverse lava canyons that will lead us down to the seabed over 30 meters deep, where to enjoy an unparalleled volcanic seaescape. We will explore a vast sandy area that disappears into the unknown and head towards the rock through other canyons. We then conclude the dive in the shallow end, enjoying the well-lit face of the islet before swimming up to our safety stop.

Marine life here is very diverse. The rock concentrates many types of animals thanks to the bath of light it receives being so shallow. You can see spiny pufferfish, groupers, jacks, seabreams, cowbreams, triggerfish, wrasses, moray eels, crabs, shrimps, lobsters, anemones, and polyps, among others. The sandy area at 30 meters depth offers you the opportunity to see garden eels, rays, and large groupers vying for territory.

The conditions at this dive site are usually very good and easily accessible as long as the ground swell does not make the area uncomfortable. The seclusion provided by Tacorón and the Sea of Calms makes this dive, without current, one of the most visited by divers, who are attracted by its tranquility and visibility of over 30 meters on the best days.

Dive spot with possibilities for both beginner and advanced divers, as it can reach over 30 meters in depth.
