<\/div>With more than 234 kilometres of coastline, Tenerife in the archipelago of the Canary Islands and a warm and pleasant subtropical climate is a perfect place for water sports at 2 hours flying time from main Europe. <\/p>\n
The island also offers a rich nature to the visitor; it is acclaimed for its millenary forestry and the variety of seabirds that nest on the island, and a huge gastronomic offer with multicultural flavours. <\/p>\n
These facts justify the more than six million tourists that Tenerife receives each year. <\/p>\n
For visitors interested in scuba diving and snorkelling the island is a small paradise close to Europe with crystal clear waters allowing a visibility of more than 30 metres and a warm water temperature all year round. Not only that the volcanic precedence of the island creates a variety of cliffs and underwater walls, caves, tunnels and basaltic columns.<\/p>\n
\u200d<\/p>\n But wait; there are reefs in the Canaries? Of course, there are not the same coral organisms as in the Tana Reefs, but the variety of underwater volcanic structures on the seabed allows for the development of a rich underwater biodiversity. <\/p>\n On the rocky seabed grows a variety of coral and algal life, forms that serve as food and shelter for fish and invertebrates. <\/p>\n The influence of the tides and ocean currents on the island also create different conditions around the island's coastline, this coupled with the effects of being an oasis of life in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean increases the biodiversity present for the diver and underwater photographer who delves into these waters.<\/p>\n<\/div>Reefs in Tenerife<\/strong><\/h3>\n
