Compact volcanic reef dive off Pasito Blanco harbour.
Compact volcanic reef dive off Pasito Blanco harbour.
Pasito Blanco is a compact south Gran Canaria reef dive in front of the harbour, built around a volcanic platform with sandy edges, ledges and crevices. The route is easy to read, and the reef rewards a slow look for rays, morays, octopus, porcupinefish and schooling fish. It works best as a calm boat dive, with marina traffic and surface handling more important than any heavy current.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A small reef platform with ledges and crevices that rewards slow reef scanning and a tidy buoyancy profile.
Freediving
Freediving is secondary here; if used at all, keep it to calm, supervised reef-edge work rather than a primary target.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main draw, but calmer water around the marina can still make the shallower edges useful.
