Bull Costa Canaria

Gran Canaria is a diver’s island of dramatic volcanic seascapes, headlined by the world-class El Cabrón Marine Reserve at Arinaga. Here shore-diveable caves, arches and tunnels shelter huge schools of barracuda, groupers, angel sharks, rays, seahorses and cuttlefish. The north coast adds the upright Cermona II freighter off Las Palmas, while Sardina del Norte serves volcanic walls, the La Catedral cavern and superb macro. Sheltered bays such as Tufia are perfect for training. With warm Atlantic water year-round and reliable visibility, Gran Canaria blends easy shore access with rich biodiversity for every level of diver. This region rewards careful planning and respects Spain’s marine-protection rules, offering rewarding diving across a wide range of experience levels through a long and varied season.
