Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Komotu offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Komotu sits at 28 meters, an intermediate dive that’s straightforward. Expect a volcanic reef landscape, typical of the Canaries, with plenty of small crevices to peek into. It's a solid choice for divers comfortable with depth who want a relaxed exploration rather than a high-adrenaline drift. You’ll likely spot a range of local fish, maybe a ray tucked away in the sand.
