About Canal del Inglés
Canal del Inglés is a shore dive that starts in a shallow coral channel and runs down toward the reef slope over calcareous white sand. Large coral formations, black corals, and sponges give the route structure, while nurse sharks resting under the ledges make the site memorable. It suits divers who like a readable reef line with a calm, deliberate route rather than a fast feature stop.
