Calzedonia - Canary Islands

Calzedonia sits just off the coast of the Canary Islands, offering a pleasant dive without being overly dramatic. We often see the usual Mediterranean cast here: black sea bream darting around, groups of Canary damsels shimmering in the light, and plenty of ornate wrasse in their bright colours. Keep an eye out for a passing stingray or even a Spiny Butterfly Ray gliding over the sand; we’ve had some good luck with them in the deeper sections. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting back into the swing of things or for a lazy afternoon exploration.
