From this entry point there are several classic dive routes, including the Fish Ball, The Finger, Arco Pequeno, The eel garden and The Table Top itself. The entry point for this dive can look daunting at first, as the waves can often appear to break right on the entry point. A special entry technique, an underwater channel and the combination of currents make this a lot easier that it may first look. The diver is rewarded with a variety of dive plans, taking him to the Fish Ball, or to the caves and swim-throughs. Fish life is abundant in this area, and apart from the common species of parrotfish, damsels, wrasse, and bream, you are likely to find yellow snappers (roncadors), trumpetfish, a shoal of barracudas, plenty of morays (tiger, brown and dotted), cernia rossa, and in spring large shoals of sardines and bogas. Several species which are less common have resident populations in this are including Shi Drum (verrugato), glasseye, marmor bream, jurel (yellow jack), painted comber, zebra bream and some stunning giant anemones. If you look carefully or just get lucky you may also see dusky grouper, three types of stingray, forkbeard, unicorn fish, tuna or in exceptional circumstances sea-horse, blue sharks or manta rays. A night dive can reward the adventurous with stingrays, squid, octopus, angelshark and many other night hunters of the reef. And as for plant life and invertebrates there is much more to look at here as well. In addition to the prolific marine life, there is a fascinating underwater scenery, allowing 'wall dives' around much of the outside of the reef; several caves, the small arch and lots of larger holes to look in for morays and other creatures. Few dive sites in the Canaries have such variety, such abundance, and such scenery so close in to the shore all available from one shore entry point.
