About Gran Cañon
Gran Cañon is a boat-access ravine dive off Mount Ulia, where two parallel rock plates create an east-west channel. The site is about structure and macro life rather than big relief, with shoals of fish and frequent nudibranchs, octopus, cuttlefish, moray eels, and crabs in the cracks. It is best on calmer sea days because swell and Bay of Biscay weather can make the ravine feel more open. Plan it with a local operator and keep the profile relaxed so you can stay on the slabs and cuts.
