Cueva del Jarro
Cueva del Jarro is a volcanic cave off La Herradura. The local centre lists a maximum depth of 25 m (average 16 m), medium difficulty with possible current, anchored boat dive; a dive-planning page describes a jar-shaped main chamber with a narrow entrance, sponges and bryozoans on the walls and moray eels guarding the entrance, and gives 18 m. Another guide calls it quiet and easy, so sources differ. Position estimated from the nearest coast or landmark, for orientation only.
