Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Coral offers some of Canary Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Coral offers a deep reef dive, dropping to around 30 metres. We often find the visibility here can be a bit variable, but when it’s good, you’ll see scattered hard corals and some of the larger Canary wrasse. Currents can pick up, so this one's best suited for expert divers who are comfortable with drift diving and managing their depth.
