El Salto

Experience a stunning dive with calm waters and minimal currents, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the underwater beauty. Discover a mesmerizing array of vibrant colors as you explore small caves and follow a unique circuit.

One of the highlights of this dive, which takes place between the months of June and October, is the opportunity to encounter female Solrayo sharks. These magnificent creatures can be observed in the company of the Baja Rosario dive.

Embark on a thrilling underwater journey as you navigate along a 20-meter wall. After approximately 10 minutes, you'll ascend to a steep area where single-file diving is required. Once you reach a depth of 8 meters, a captivating small cave awaits, providing the perfect backdrop for stunning photographs.

Continuing onward, you'll encounter a magnificent rock arch that serves as the home to a vibrant community of barracudas. Turn your attention to a fascinating tunnel located just 5 meters away, where you'll have the chance to observe a medium-sized grouper and, if you're fortunate, a Spotted burrish. Note that visibility reaches up to an impressive 22 meters, allowing for optimal underwater exploration.

Upon exiting the tunnel, you'll navigate towards the boat, concluding your extraordinary dive. It's worth noting that between the months of June and October, female Solrayo sharks migrate to this area to give birth, creating a truly unique spectacle. These awe-inspiring creatures reach impressive sizes of 4 meters in length and weigh over 400kg. El Hierro, situated in the Canary Islands of Spain, is among the select few places in the world where divers can witness and experience this remarkable phenomenon.

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced diver, this dive offers an enchanting experience suited to divers of all levels. Located in El Pinar de El Hierro, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, this magnificent dive site in Spain awaits your exploration.
