Benthos Buceo - Canary Islands

Benthos Buceo, tucked away in the Canary Islands, is the kind of outfit we appreciate for its no-fuss approach. They’re a solid choice if you're looking to simply get in the water and explore the local volcanic topography. We’ve found their guides know the currents well, which is key around here, especially when you’re drifting past those impressive rock formations or searching for angel sharks tucked into the sand. It’s a good shout for divers who appreciate straightforward, competent diving without a lot of bells and whistles, particularly if you're keen to log some bottom time and see what makes the Canaries’ underwater landscape so unique.
