Why dive here
With 76+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Turtle Village offers some of Canary Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 20-24°C, warmest August, September, October.
Turtle Village is an easy, shallow dive in the Canary Islands, sitting at just 11 metres. It’s exactly what the name suggests, a place where you reliably find turtles cruising around the sandy bottom. We’ve seen them resting, feeding, and occasionally curious enough to swim quite close. It’s a gentle introduction to diving and a good spot for newer divers looking for a calm encounter.
