Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - media almud shallow offers some of Canary Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Media Almud Shallow is a straightforward spot, ideal for a relaxed dive, especially if you're just starting out or haven't been in the water for a while. At a maximum depth of 13 metres, it's pretty cruisy. You'll often find schools of barracuda cruising past, and we've seen cuttlefish here too, often blending in expertly with the sandy patches. It’s a gentle introduction to diving in the Canaries without any big surprises.
