Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Playa de La Caleta del Espigon offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Playa de La Caleta del Espigon is a decent spot if you’re looking for a simple, relaxed dive in the Canaries. It's an easy entry from the beach, perfect for newer divers or those getting back in the water. Down at 22 metres, you’ll find mostly rocky reef, with a scattering of smaller fish like wrasse and parrotfish pottering about. We’ve also seen rays here, tucked into the sand, if you’re patient and keep an eye out. It's not a dive that’s going to blow your fins off, but it’s a perfectly pleasant way to spend an afternoon.
