The Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are one of the main places in the world in which one should go diving at least once. They are renowned worldwide for their fabulous year-round climate, but also for the wealth of underwater biodiversity. The waters around the archipelago offer a great visibility that can reach up to 30 metres and has extensive volcanic seabed filled with exuberant marine life.

With the twists and bends, grottos, reefs, areas of great depth and other flatter expanses it is no mystery why various areas of Lanzarote, El Hierro and La Palma have attained designation as a Marine Nature Reserve.

Its waters are always at around 20ºC (70°F), a pleasant temperature that leads countless species to choose the Canary Islands as their home. In fact, the Canary Islands are considered as a true cetacean sanctuary, as it is very common to see dolphins and whales near the coast. Up to 26 different species of cetaceans (toothed whales) live around the Canary Islands, which has made the islands one of the preferred destinations in Europe for the sighting of these animals.

In the Canary Islands there also lives a shark currently at risk of extinction, the angelshark, which can be spotted in shallow-depth dive outings.
