Boat-dived artificial reef off southern Gran Canaria.
Morning boat dive from Anfi del Mar with concrete structures on sand, clear water and an advanced-open-water profile.
About Artificial - Block3
Artificial - Block3 is a boat-dived artificial reef off southern Gran Canaria, built from concrete sculptures on a sandy bottom. The cubes, tubes and pyramids create a route of sheltered structure and strong visual contrast, so the dive is about slow exploration rather than distance. It is an advanced open-water site, best approached on a morning boat run with tidy buoyancy and a deliberate pace.
