This dive site, Arguineguin Reef, is situated just beyond the port of Arguineguin, presenting a distinctive long stretched rock reef. Divers navigate along the natural border where sandy expanses meet the volcanic rock formations. The reef is characterized by numerous holes and crevices that serve as natural hideaways for marine life. No specific history or story is provided beyond its natural formation.
The reef is home to a large variety of sealife, notably large groups of yellow snappers and sardines creating impressive schools. Divers can frequently encounter octopus and various moray eels seeking shelter in the reef's many nooks. Different species of rays are also commonly sighted, gliding over the sandy and rocky bottom.
The dive site is ideal for year-round diving due to the consistent climate of the Canary Islands, with marine life remaining abundant. It's a highlight for observing schooling fish and macro life alike, offering excellent photographic opportunities. Both freedivers and scuba divers will find the shallow to medium depths and rich biodiversity highly rewarding, making it a versatile and accessible spot for all.
