El Cabrón

ARINAGA - AGUIMES - GRAN CANAR, Spain

This location is widely recognized as one of the wildest and most exhilarating marine reserves in Gran Canaria, making it a premier destination for those holding a certification of Advanced Diver or higher. The immersion begins on a dramatic volcanic plateau that transitions into a profound drop-off, leading down to a vast sandy bottom where marine life flourishes under strict local protection. Divers navigating this volcanic landscape can expect to encounter an impressive biodiversity sheltered within structural crevices and submerged caves, where various species of moray eels hide, while schools of mullets and grunts rest near the ocean floor and vigilant barracudas cruise through the mid-depth blue water. Accessing this unique shore dive requires careful preparation due to the waves and potentially slippery rocks at the entry points, but the reward is an unparalleled underwater journey through an ecosystem completely untouched by fishing and boating activities.
