Dive-site story
Located off the southwestern coast of Gran Canaria, this volcanic stone reef sits surrounded by open sand flats. Divers follow the circular perimeter of the rocky shelf, where crevices and undercut ledges shelter large schools of fish and resting rays. Moderate currents occasionally sweep across the reef top, attracting pelagic predators that patrol the drop-off.
