No recent diver reports from the past 14 days

A report that passes the automatic checks will appear here with the dive date, diver’s display name, and temperatures at each depth.

Reports are automatically checked for plausible dates, depths, and temperatures. They are observations, not forecasts; confirm conditions before diving.

Before you arrive

Access notes

Current center-arranged boat diving; departure and exact site choice depend on weather. Reconfirm certification, recent experience, medical fitness, gas plan, emergency oxygen, communications, evacuation and recompression arrangements. Rounded display point only—not an entry, launch, mooring, wreck position, cavern entrance, descent line or navigation waypoint.

Plan within your training

Conditions and hazards

Depth, current, blue-water separation, boat traffic, decompression risk and surface pickup. Carry an SMB where locally required and follow the operator's briefing.

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.
