Boat-only access and marina logistics make a local operator the simplest way to reach the site.
Balito Princess is a simple boat dive off Gran Canaria, built around a short wall, sandy patches, and a shallow profile that makes it a natural training site. It works well for buoyancy, re-entry, and search-and-recovery practice, while still giving easy reef time for newer divers. Treat it as a controlled outing rather than a big scenic wall dive, with rays and occasional sharks over the sand and small reef fish around the structure. Boat access from the Anfi del Mar area keeps the logistics straightforward.
