About El Cañon

El Cañon is a simple boat dive west of Morro Jable Port, built around small rock formations on a sandy bottom and a short ride from the harbor. The site is best for relaxed scuba: easy navigation, little relief, and plenty of nooks where anemones, prawns, moray eels, stingrays, and angel sharks show up. It is a straightforward boat outing rather than a terrain-heavy challenge.
