About The Garden of Gorgonians
The Garden of Gorgonians is a sheltered Sardina Bay reef reached from the pier, where a rhodolith field and bright yellow gorgonians create a scenic route across the central bay. It is a shallow-to-mid-depth dive that suits relaxed reef touring, with coral texture, sandy patches, and the chance of angel sharks, moray eels, and rays when conditions are steady. Divers come here for color and structure rather than a steep wall or wreck, and the bay is one of Gran Canaria's more dependable north-coast dives.
