BAHIA DE PASAJES

Bahia de Pasajes, off the coast of Gran Canaria, offers a different kind of Canary Islands dive. We're not talking volcanic caves or dramatic drop-offs here. Instead, it’s a dedicated wreck dive, the fishing vessel *Bahia de Pasajes*, resting upright at a comfortable 20 metres. The wreck itself is a decent size, 36.9m long, and still quite intact, though officially classified as dangerous. We love that it’s not just a pile of rubble; you can make out the wheelhouse, the holds, and the stern. Over the years, it's become a thriving artificial reef. Expect to see plenty of local characters: moray eels peering from nooks, schools of glinting barracuda cruising past, and colourful nudibranchs clinging to the metalwork. Our pick for exploring is the stern, where the prop is still visible and often surrounded by clouds of small fish. It’s an easy dive for anyone comfortable in open water, making it a great site for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed, atmospheric dive away from the more strenuous drift dives of the Canaries. The calm conditions here are usually reliable.
