Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Boca Cangrejo offers some of Canary Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Boca Cangrejo is an intermediate dive, dropping to 26 metres. We often find schooling barracuda here, and the resident eagle rays make a regular appearance, sometimes several at once. It’s a good choice for divers comfortable with depth, looking for larger pelagics in the Canaries. The rock formations provide some interesting swim-throughs as well.
