This dive site, Los Cañones, is a hidden gem located in a cove accessible only by boat. The underwater landscape is dominated by a series of dramatic canyons and beautiful arches carved into the geological formations under a small cliff. Navigating the site is relatively straightforward, following the canyons and exploring the various arches. The dive site itself doesn't have a rich recorded history, instead relying on its natural beauty and diverse marine life for its appeal.
The marine life at Los Cañones is varied and abundant. You can expect to encounter stingrays, both flying gracefully and resting buried in the sand. Octopuses and cuttlefish are common sights, along with vibrant nudibranchs. Schools of salemas and corvinas, typical Mediterranean fish, add to the underwater spectacle.
The best time to visit Los Cañones is likely during the warmer months, from May to October, when visibility is typically better and the water temperature is more comfortable. Calm conditions are essential for enjoying the arches and canyons safely. While freediving is certainly suitable for this depth, divers should always check local conditions and dive responsibly. Remember that boat access may limit dive opportunities on rough days.
