Before you arrive
Access notes
Weather-dependent guided boat access; the route is distinct from the existing Faro de Rasca profile. Reconfirm certification, recent experience, medical fitness, gas plan, emergency oxygen, communications, evacuation and recompression arrangements. Rounded display point only—not an entry, launch, mooring, wreck position, cave entrance, descent line or navigation waypoint.
Plan within your training
Conditions and hazards
Current, swell, drift separation, boat traffic and remote surface recovery.

Facilities and support
Current Canary Islands centers provide guided access and commonly offer rental equipment and fills; exact oxygen, nitrox, boat, accessibility and emergency capabilities must be reconfirmed for the chosen operator.
Independent resource notice
This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
