Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Roncadores del Faro offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Roncadores del Faro offers a solid entry-level dive, particularly if you’re looking to get comfortable in the Canaries. Dropping to a manageable 23 metres, it's pretty straightforward, making it a good choice for newer divers or those shaking off the rust. You’ll find some interesting rock formations to explore and we’ve often spotted the usual suspects - various bream, the occasional cuttlefish, and nudibranchs tucked into crevices. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics, but for a relaxed dive with consistent visibility, it gets the job done.
