Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Arguineguin Reef offers some of Canary Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Arguineguin Reef sits just off the coast, a shallow, sheltered spot that’s perfect for getting back into the swing of things. At a maximum depth of 16 metres, it’s an easy dive, especially good for those new to the Canaries’ underwater world or refreshing their skills. We often see parrotfish munching away, octopus tucked into crevices, and schools of damselfish flitting around. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics, but it's a solid, enjoyable dive for a relaxed afternoon.
