Dive Sites

Gran Canaria has many beautiful sites where you can discover the diverse marine life of the island.

JB’s channel, Puerto Rico – beach dive
Walk down our terrace steps and into the sea. JB’s channel is a protected channel on the side of Puerto Rico beach. On the outside of the channel is a rock reef that runs along the sea wall. Depth from 2 to 14 metres.
This is where you can take an introductory dive or refresh your skills after a break from diving. The channel is teeming with small fish, damselfish, wrasse, bream and mullet. The reef has lots of small holes where you can search for octopus and cuttlefish.

Pasito Blanco and Arguiniguin Reefs – boat dive
Large reefs with shoals of yellow snappers and barracuda. Rays can be found in the sand and look out for the giant puffer fish. 14 – 20 metres.

Mogan Wrecks – boat dive
Dive two wrecks in one dive. The wrecks are 30 metres long with trumpet fish, groupers, rays and a small shoal of yellow snappers. Watch out for the yellow submarine that also visits the wrecks. 16 to 19 metres.
