    Pozo Negro is a shallow, easy dive in the Canary Islands, perfect for those just starting out or looking for a relaxed time in the water. Maximum depth is around 10 meters, so no decompression worries here. You'll likely see a decent range of local fish, often sheltering among the rocks. We'd suggest it for training dives or a gentle introduction to diving in the area.
