El Bajón

No reviews yetCanary, Hierro

One of the best dives I've done ever. Impressive. When there is current is more complicated but there is much more life tabi (jurel Bicuda, Gallo Blue Sargos ...) In boat leaving the port of restinga. Is not easy to find if you do not know where this, although usually is some buoy.

La Herradura

No reviews yetCanary, Hierro

Start this dive on a bouy situated on a large rock, between 8 and 12m deep, usually surrounded by dozens of Zebra Seabreem (Diplodus cervinus). In the many cracks live Black Morays (Muraena augusti) and Brown Morays (Gymnothorax unicolor), sometimes accompanied by the rare Goldentail moray (Gymnothorax miliaris). Continue along the edge of a bank that runs parallel to the shore. Stick to a maximum depth of around 20m as below this depth the marine life diminishes considerably. Here you'll find an abundance of large Dusky Grouper (Epinephelus marginatus). Return to the boat crossing through a labyrinth formed by lava flows, where we find groups of trumpetfish (Aulostomus strigosus) and Island Groupers (Mycteroperca fusca) mixing with thousands of ornate wrasse (Thalassoma pavo). Here we find a hole covered in Black Coral at only 15m.
