Fuerteventura's best-kept secret
The south of the island is an authentic underwater sanctuary with excellent conditions almost all year round: crystal-clear waters, great visibility, and the highest concentration of marine life in all of Fuerteventura. From sandy seabeds to imposing deep rocky formations, its landscapes are home to groupers, stingrays, barracudas, butterfly rays, common eagle rays, and, in winter, the iconic angel shark. We always set sail by boat to guarantee you a more comfortable and safer dive with exclusive access to pristine spots that can only be reached by sea. A paradise accessible whether you are looking for simplicity or adventure.
1. Veril Grande of Jandía
An impressive compacted sand wall that descends from 16 to 40 meters, alternating platforms, walls, and rocky formations full of life. Groupers, groupers (abades), moray eels, rays, barracudas, and angel sharks are some of its regular inhabitants. A place where every depth offers a different landscape and there is always something new to discover.
2. Veril Chico of Jandía
A compacted sand wall that plunges down to 40 meters deep, a privileged setting for those who feel a special fascination for deep dives. Here, the blue takes center stage. Between the wall and the open bottom, barracudas, amberjacks, jack mackerel, and groupers may appear, while during the winter months, the angel shark can become one of the most special encounters. An exciting dive, full of life and those surprises that make every descent different.
3. El Cañón
At barely 14 meters deep, El Cañón is a dive that surprises with its intensity and unique volcanic topography: large rock formations, passageways, and small caves that create a landscape reminiscent of an authentic underwater canyon. It is a small universe for macro photography lovers and for those who enjoy observing the tiniest forms of life. Colonies of Palythoa grow among the rocks, and in its corners, nudibranchs and other small creatures appear, inviting you to stop and look closely. Glasseye snappers, parrotfish, barracudas, rays, white seabreams, and the characteristic Canary lobster complete a dive full of movement, textures, and discoveries.
4. Pared del Muelle
A dive of contrasts, where the sandy seabed meets rock formations and each landscape hides a different type of life. Especially during winter, the sand can surprise us with animals that remain semi-buried, such as rays, angel sharks, and electric rays. Among the rocks, life becomes smaller and more hidden: glasseye snappers, moray eels, crabs, nudibranchs, and shrimp appear in cracks and corners. A varied dive full of nooks to explore, where you never know what you will discover.
5. Las casitas
Between small caves and rock formations, a great variety of life is hidden: glasseye snappers, parrotfish, barracudas, rays, white seabreams, and the characteristic Canary lobster. An entertaining dive full of corners that invite you to look closely, where every little cave can hold a new surprise.
