Easy Divers - Canary Islands
Easy Divers is a solid pick for newer divers looking to get their fins wet in the Canaries. It’s a generally calm spot, making it ideal for those gaining confidence or refreshing their skills. We often see large schools of bogues and salema here, shimmering just off the rocks. Keep an eye out for a roughtail stingray settled on the sand, and the occasional ornate wrasse darting through the shallows. While it’s not a site for big pelagic action, it’s a reliably pleasant introduction to the local fish life.
