Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Pechiguera offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Pechiguera, off the Canaries, is generally a drift dive best suited for experienced divers due to consistent currents. We often find ourselves gliding past a volcanic reef structure, observing schools of barracuda. It’s a site for those who appreciate the feeling of movement and don't mind a lack of stationary exploration.
