Waikiki

Located in the beautiful waters of Spain's Canary Islands, this dive site offers a truly tropical experience. As we descend into the depths, the sunlight filtering through the water creates a mesmerizing play of light and reflections on the white sand. This area is not only reserved for snorkeling or safety stops, but it also holds a plethora of underwater wonders for divers to explore.

To begin the dive, we make our way to the mooring line of the buoy that marks the designated bathing area. From there, we descend along the sandy slope, with a choice between two rock ridges depending on the current and personal preference. As we reach a depth of 18m along the easternmost ridge, a stunning orange coral branch, which is one of the shallowest in the Canary Islands, emerges under a ledge.

For the more experienced divers, venturing further into the veril, which reaches a depth of around 28m, reveals a small cave adorned with a magnificent pendant nest surrounded by three-tailed vials. The visibility at this site is an impressive 19m, allowing divers to fully appreciate the underwater beauty that surrounds them.

This dive site is suitable for divers of all levels, from beginners to advanced and expert divers. So, whether you're just starting your underwater exploration or seeking a new diving challenge, this site has something to offer everyone. Make your way to Avenida Las Playas, Puerto del Carmen, Tías, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain, and experience the wonders that await beneath the surface.
