Dive-site story
Located on the northwestern coast of Gran Canaria, Sardina del Norte is a calm bay sheltered by a small harbor pier. Divers enter via stairs into protected water before following volcanic rocky ridges out across flat sand fields. The area serves as a key nursery ground for critically endangered angel sharks and is widely regarded as one of the premier night diving locations in the Canary Islands.
Reliable encounters with angel sharks camouflaged across the sand
Protected entry point via harbor steps suitable for training and relaxed exploration
Superb night diving with active cuttlefish, octopuses, and hunting stingrays
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
