Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Galeones offers some of Canary Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Galeones sits at 30 meters, an intermediate dive best suited for those comfortable with deeper profiles. It’s essentially a sand patch, but we’ve consistently found some interesting macro life if you take your time to look closely. Think nudibranchs, small crabs, and sometimes even a cuttlefish tucked into the sand. It’s a good option for a second dive when the bigger sites are busy, offering a quieter experience.
