Dive-site story
Located in southwest Gran Canaria, this sheltered bay offers exceptionally calm waters protected by harbour breakwaters. The sandy bottom slopes gently away from the shore, transitioning into rocky boulders along the outer jetty where juvenile reef fish and invertebrates congregate. It serves as a prime training ground and an easy site for night diving when nocturnal predators emerge from the sand.
Reliable encounters with angelsharks resting on the open sand during cooler months
Sheltered conditions with minimal surge inside the bay perimeter
Macro photography opportunities among the jetty boulders and mooring blocks
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is possible year-round due to the southwest coast microclimate, though winter brings frequent angelshark sightings.
