About Digue Barcares
Pasito Blanco Reef is a boat-access volcanic reef off southern Gran Canaria with plateaus, ledges, overhangs, and soft coral growth over sand patches. The site is easy enough for newer divers but still rewards experienced divers with clean terrain, steady photo subjects, and reliable encounters with rays, angel sharks, barracuda, and other Atlantic fish.
