Dive-site story
Located on the southwestern coast of Gran Canaria, Playa de Amadores offers protected conditions inside a man-made crescent bay with easy access from a gently shelving sandy beach. Divers follow the protective breakwaters outward toward open sandy plateaus interspersed with scattered rocky outcrops, making the site a prime location for training sessions, easy refresher dives, and relaxed night excursions.
Protected bay sheltered from major swell and heavy currents
Frequent winter and spring sightings of angelsharks resting in the sand
Lively breakwater walls hosting octopus, morays, and benthic invertebrates
Calm entry points well-suited for night diving and skill development
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is possible year-round, with the warmest water in late summer and angelshark encounters peaking during the cooler months.
