Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé si le mystérieux squatina 🦈, que l’on peut croiser dans les eaux autour de Tenerife, représente un vrai danger pour les plongeurs ? 🤿 Imaginez-vous en train de plonger à Radazul, avec une visibilité parfaite 🌞, et soudain vous apercevez ce requin plat, parfaitement camouflé sur le fond marin – votre cœur s’emballe 💓 ! Mais est-il vraiment dangereux ? 😱
Dans cet article, plongeons ensemble dans l’univers du squatina pour comprendre son comportement et découvrir tout ce que vous devez savoir pour plonger en toute sécurité et respect en mer à Tenerife 🐠.
Le squatina (Squatina squatina), aussi appelé requin ange, est une espèce fascinante caractérisée par son corps plat, presque comme une raie 🐟. Il vit principalement sur des fonds sableux dans des eaux tempérées, notamment autour des Canaries 🏝️. Sa camouflage parfaite fait de lui un véritable maître de la discrétion 🕵️♂️ – c’est d’ailleurs pour cela que les plongeurs le voient souvent au dernier moment 👀.
Malgré son apparence un peu impressionnante, le squatina est loin d’être agressif ✋. C’est un animal plutôt timide qui préfère se cacher plutôt que d’attaquer 🛑.
Le squatina utilise sa camouflage et sa rapidité ⚡ pour attraper ses proies, principalement des petits poissons 🐟 et des crustacés 🦀. Face aux humains, il est généralement paisible et discret 😊.
Le seul danger survient s’il se sent menacé 😨, par exemple si on le touche accidentellement avec les mains ou les pieds ou si on le surprend 🦶✋. C’est pourquoi il est essentiel de toujours faire attention au fond marin et de ne jamais poser les mains ni les pieds sur le sable 🚫.
Respecter la nature est fondamental 🌿 – le squatina est une espèce protégée dans plusieurs zones 🛡️. Il faut donc l’observer sans jamais le déranger 👁️. Pour en savoir plus sur la sécurité en plongée, découvrez notre cours PADI Rescue Diver, conçu pour gérer les situations d’urgence sous l’eau 🚑.
Comparé aux requins célèbres comme le grand blanc 🦈 ou le requin tigre 🐅, le squatina est beaucoup moins dangereux 🛡️. Il se nourrit de petits animaux 🐟 et évite tout conflit avec l’homme 🤝. Son habitat naturel, les fonds sableux 🏖️, n’est pas un lieu propice aux rencontres agressives.
Pour améliorer votre expérience de plongée, nous recommandons notre cours PADI Advanced Open Water Diver. Vous y apprendrez à plonger en profondeur 🤿, à naviguer sous l’eau 🧭 et à explorer en toute sécurité.
Le squatina préfère les fonds sableux et boueux, généralement entre 20 et 150 mètres de profondeur 🏞️. Les meilleures chances d’en apercevoir sont lors de plongées autour de Radazul 🏝️ et autres sites adaptés à Tenerife.
Les plongées encadrées sont la meilleure façon de découvrir ce milieu unique en toute sécurité 🚤. Nos plongées guidées à Tenerife vous offrent à la fois aventure, protection de l’environnement et accompagnement professionnel 🌍.
Gardez toujours une distance de sécurité ↔️ avec les animaux marins, notamment le squatina 🦈.
Ne touchez jamais le fond marin ni ne remuez le sable ✋🚫.
Plongez avec des guides expérimentés 🧑🏫 qui connaissent parfaitement la région 🐠.
Restez calme 😌 et faites des mouvements lents 🐢 si vous rencontrez un squatina.
Les débutants peuvent consolider leurs bases avec notre cours PADI Open Water Diver.

EXCELENTE A base de 167 reseñas Tom S11/06/2024Verificada Great Day of Diving We were pleasantly surprised with a second day in Tenerife during our cruise. This gave us the opportunity to experience the diving here. We were picked up at the cruise port and taken to the dive shop. The fitting and equipment were top notch. The dive sites were surprisingly close to the port. During the last dive we were rewarded when David found a seahorse, one of only a handful I've seen. The shipwreck was very nice, with good visibility, and great marine life all around. Sooo many garden eels. We had a great time on a beautiful day with friendly, professional dive staff. I would highly recommend Deep Ocean Diver if you are going to dive in Tenerife. Coastal1831506743713/05/2024Verificada Professional and fun guides We absolutely loved our boat dives with David. The underwater landscapes and marine life in this area is fun to watch. We'd definitely come back! Stephen Crome20/03/2024Verificada Awesome shop! I had an excellent shore dive today. Our guide was very professional and made sure we were safe at all times. He found all kinds of cool things including two octopus. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. JMs23/02/2024Verificada Perfect for families, great logistics 3 days trip with my 3 kids: fantastic experience. I particularly appreciated the logistics (very well managed including crisp communication from first contact), the expert guide and the whole installation (bus, dive center and nice comfortable boat) Philippe P10/10/2023Verificada Good Experience Friendly staff and nice dives. We were really pleased with our experience. Visibility was great and we saw many octopuses! Jas09/06/2023Verificada Amazing Amazing guys at the dive Center, had a reaaally amazing dive with Simon a day before, and really nice zodiac dives as well, thanks a lot!!! Jassin Andreea K15/07/2022Verificada Amazing Amazing experience! Victor and Laura were really professional, patient and helpful. Highly recommend. JOANNE M11/03/2022Verificada Absolutely top notch! We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids ages 10 and 12) that travelled to Tenerife in March 2022, and both our kids did their PADI open water course over a 4-day period. My husband and I both have our advanced open water certificates and have dealt with dive shops all around the world, and we can honestly say these guys (and gals!) are top notch!The kids spent most of their time with Victor as their instructor, and he was absolutely fantastic. So much enthusiasm, support, patience, encouragement and a genuine interest in making them succeed and love the sport, while also ensuring they demonstrated all the necessary knowledge and skills. This was such an amazing introduction to diving - I can't thank Victor enough. The kids were so happy and proud to have got their open water certificate but also very sad that they diving days with Victor were coming to an end. It's extremely rare (and special) that someone makes such an impression on them, so you should take that as a HUGE complement! They were extremely complementary of everyone they dealt with at the store (including the boat captain)- thanks to you all!! My kids don't speak Spanish but the instructors are fully bilingual and able to teach them in English. Thanks for such an amazing experience and creating what I expect will be a life-long love of diving! (They are already begging to do their advanced open water as soon as possible). My husband also did his nitrox course with Deep Ocean Diver as well, it also was great. I would highly recommend this place to others and will definitely dive with them again next time we are in Tenerife. Thanks for such a fabulous week! Adrian G29/12/2021Verificada perfect I went to Deep Ocean Diver to get the Open water training and it's been just perfect. The instructors were super professional and skilled, and at the same time so friendly and willing to make the training a fun and valuable moment. I even ended up doing the Advanced certification, and the whole team was so kind to arrange the schedule to fit with my availabilities.You can really feel that you're getting a good training and that it's not rushed, they really take the time for you to understand, practice and enjoy. And you got plenty of good advice from your instructors.five stars! Igor S09/05/2021Verificada Couldn't choose better The main reason I chose to come to Tenerife is because I wanted to get a PADI certification, therefore I looked for the best diving school in the area and organized my whole vacation around it.Well, I couldn't do better.The guys are great. Victor and Arnau were the best instructors I could ever ask for. It's not easy to make a proper training about something that is so serious and technical, and still keep it fun and never boring, but they have been amazingly up to the task. David, although he was never in the water with us, made me feel his presence by throughly planning my next steps on a daily basis, just what one would expect from a leader. 10/10 guys! Also Radazul is a perfect place to pick an accomodation, quiet, nice, not too expensive and pretty strategical to move across Tenerife. All in all, I really couldn't have made a better choice. :)
