Balearic Islands Canary Islands Portugal Spain (España) has a very long coastline with warm water and reasonably good visibility, but surprisingly few dive centres and air stations. 

 

We've tried to lay out these pages so that you can print off the dive information easily and take the details with you. If you take nothing else from our directory, print off the dive centres phone list of the area you are diving before you travel in case you need air refills, spares or an alternative to your intended dive site.

Cueva Chica

Penon Del Santo

Cala Del Perro

Diving is still superb in Almunecar and the Costa tropical. I have some info re the dives around our superb area.

You have got to visit the Cueva Chica with its 100m long tunnel into an air pocket that is open to the sky through a  very small hole in the cavern roof and when the sun hits it just right, there is a spotlight through the hole through the water to the sandy bottom its spectacular !!.

Recently dived around the Penon Del Santo, a good dive, that gives the inexperienced diver the feeling of a current when you go around the point and on to the other side - Its a bit like walking around the corner into the wind -- until you get on the leeward side. No more than 17m deep with plenty of small Octopusses /Octopii ( never sure which is correct) and shoals of sardines ( bigger than the ones in tins !!) give a fantastic light show as they wheel and dart around you.

David and I also explored another area close to Cala Del Perro for an hour and enjoyed the Lobsters in a small mouth of the rock. We left them unmolested of course so as to allow others to share in our enjoyment. I hope to dive the wrecks next month so I'll drop you another note and let you know how it goes.

Have you dived the walls of Punta de La Mona or seen the cavern at Cerro Gordo? Perhaps you've dived the Tres Picos?
You can also dive at Estartit on the Costa Brava which is surrounded by a coral reef. There are many fish there as The Medes is protected as a Nature Reserve.
Please let us know what diving elsewere in Spain is like.

Thank you.

Canary Islands 

The Canary Islands are part of Spain just 60 miles off the coast of northern Africa. They consist of seven small volcanic islands but diving only seems to occur on the larger islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. The tourist site says they dive on Hierro but we cannot find any diving details. We have some information on:

Fuerteventura

Gran Canaria Gomera Hierro La Palma Lanzarote Tenerife
