About Perchel Caves
Perchel Caves is a boat-accessed cave and wall dive off Gran Canaria's south coast, with short passages cut into the cliffs and a shallow profile that suits newly qualified divers when conditions are calm. The dive is more about buoyancy, light, and the rock structure than depth, and the interesting bits stay close enough to the surface to keep the route relaxed. Expect a guided outing with good marine life in the cracks and cave mouths that are more enjoyable on settled days.
