Blue Hole (Puerto del Carmen)
The Blue Hole is a shore dive in Puerto del Carmen entered by a jump from the jetty and a swim out: you free-descend to about 12–14 m, where a 2–3 m wide hole leads from about 18 m through the reef to an exit around 25 m on the Atlantic side, with a clear thermocline and the reef dropping to about 35 m. Bring a torch for the inner walls. Position estimated.
