Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Balito Princess offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Balito Princess is a solid beginner’s dive, easy to navigate at just 13 meters. We’ve often found schooling barracuda here, sometimes a few octopus tucked into crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed shallow dive, ideal for those getting comfortable with their buoyancy or testing new gear.
