At the site

Facilities and support

Local Canary Islands centers offer guided diving and commonly provide rental equipment and fills; exact oxygen, nitrox, boat, accessibility and emergency capabilities must be reconfirmed for the chosen operator.

Independent resource notice

This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
