Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Bajón del Río offers some of Canary Islands's richest drift diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Bajón del Río is a straightforward drift dive, perfect for warming up or for newer divers. The current here is usually gentle, pushing you along over a sandy bottom interspersed with rocky patches, so it's a nice easygoing dive. We’ve seen cuttlefish here, especially during mating season, often camouflaged so well you almost miss them until they shift. It’s a good spot to practice your buoyancy and just enjoy the ride without too much to think about.
