Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Timanfaya offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Timanfaya offers an easy dive down to 15 metres, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed session. It’s a pretty calm spot, good for getting comfortable with your buoyancy. While not a dramatic reef, you'll likely spot some of the smaller, common Mediterranean fish darting between the rocks. We often recommend it as a warm-up dive.
