Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - La Carrera offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
La Carrera sits at a mellow 15m, making it a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable in the Canary Islands. It’s mostly a sandy bottom, broken up by small rock formations and scattered boulders that provide shelter for a good variety of smaller fish. We’ve seen octopus hiding in the crevices and the occasional cuttlefish here too. It’s a solid, undemanding dive to ease into your trip.
