Cueva de las Gambas

There are many places on the reef wall of Playa Chica that are worth visiting. One of them is the king prawn cave. At the foot of the reef wall, at a depth of about 40 m, in the cave we find whole schools of dancing shrimp, also known as “gambas”. The groupers lurk hidden in the dark ambush and do not hesitate for a second to pounce on them when the “Gambas” are visible through our lamps. The caves in the reef wall of Playa Chica are so unique and of such great importance that they were included as a special reserve by the ecological association Red Natura 2000.

Papagayo

Turquoise water, golden sand, calm sea, sun and a sheltered bay; This place has everything you need to plunge into the water, take a look below the surface of the water, whether you are a beginner or an expert. The underwater landscape at Papagayo is just as spectacular as it is on land. The marine life arouses the curiosity to observe the behavior of each of these marine animals, such as the restless sea peacocks, the colored parrot fish and the strange ghost crabs.

Charco Del Palo

This dive is a sensible alternative in heavy seas from the southwest. It is particularly attractive because of its purely volcanic rocky landscape with white patches of sand. Here we can see a variety of different Canarian ecosystems in a very small space. In the shallow water, a dense lawn of algae grows on the rocks. From a depth of 10 m, the diadem sea urchin has created an extensive white zone. In addition, the rocks here form small cliffs and caves before they disappear into the sandy subsoil. Below about 40 - 50 m depth, forests of black coral extend, only accessible for experienced divers.
