Los Cañones
Los Cañones: guided dock-entry dive with current and pelagics.
Good for divers who want straightforward shore logistics, a current-aware profile, and a chance at rays, angel sharks, and schooling fish.
About Los Cañones
Los Cañones is a guided dock-entry dive on Gran Canaria’s north coast, with a shallow start, a short swim along volcanic rock, and a current-affected profile that rewards steady buoyancy and tight trim. Divers come for the mix of rays, angel sharks, schooling fish, and open-water movement rather than coral scenery. It suits divers who want a clean, guided day with simple logistics.

Not a casual freedive site; the current and guided route make scuba the better default.
