Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - El Coral de Garachico offers some of Canary Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
El Coral de Garachico might not be the flashiest site in the Canaries, but it offers a solid dive for those who enjoy a bit of rock and structure. Dropping to 28m, it's an intermediate spot, perhaps not one for your very first ocean dives. You’ll find plenty of nooks and crannies for moray eels and octopus, and we often spot cuttlefish here too, especially in the shallower sections. It’s a good choice when you want a straightforward reef dive without too much fuss, somewhere to relax into your dive and just see what swims by.
