GRAN CANARIA
MORE DIVES
THESE DIVES ARE A LITTLE MORE SPECIAL
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
Looking to explore some of the rare and unusual dive locations found here on Gran Canaria? Look no further! We've got some incredible sites to share with you, but fair warning - these are not your average guided dives.
While Gran Canaria has plenty of diving opportunities for all levels of experience, some locations require special planning, weather conditions, and experienced divers. The dive sites we're about to share fall into that category. We don't dive these sites often, and some we may not have even explored yet. That means we won't be leading these dives like a typical dive excursion. Instead, they're more like expedition dives where we get to treat each dive like a unique exploration.
If you're up for an exciting challenge and the opportunity to see some of the most incredible underwater landscapes Gran Canaria has to offer, then these dives are for you. But, they are not for the faint of heart. These are the kind of dives that get your heart racing and leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
Your opportunity to dive spot others don’t !

This island just off the coast in the east is famous for its turtles. It's visited only by hardy local divers due to strong currents, and it's a great spot for photography.
A V-shaped cliff with a sandy bottom houses lots of fish that don’t often see divers. It's named as such due to the presence of a religious building with arches, caves, and canyons. It's a seldom-dived but highly spoken-of dive site.

Kinder Island is a freighter of 140m that ran aground in 1991.
The Angela Pando is a 254m ship that went down in 1986.
Arona is spoken of as a highlight of diving in Gran Canaria, but it's mostly not dived. As a cargo ship, it has a swim-through hold, bow to stern with challenging entrances in the keel. There are lots of large shoals of fish, and it should be dived on Nitrox to get the best time.
