Deep Blue Diving Fuerteventura

Along the harbor wall the dive site goes to a maximum depth of 8m. In this protected area, the bottom alternates constantly between sand and stone. At the eastern end of the area, there are many wreck parts, anchors, masts, and a sunken marker buoy.

At the Fortalezza dive site, the reef rises to within 1.5 meters of the water’s surface which has led to many ships running aground here. Around 12 meters deep you can still find some wreckage and pieces of coal from one of the last sunken freighters.

At Barranco you can see almost everything that swims in the Atlantic. The rugged rock face with the split-off rocks form gorges, breakthroughs, and grottos where life thrives. In the southern part is a large sunken buoy around which shoals of fish gather. In the sandy bottom there are rays.

Along this wall there are many cavities that go up to 3m deep into the wall. In the northern part, there is a submersible tunnel that goes in an arc from 18m depth to the reef top at 12m. On the sandy areas in front of the reef, you can find rays, schools of sea bream, and gorgonians.

At 2m deep, the reef changes into a steep wall, which ends between 20 and 32 meters in a cooled lava flow. From there, lava fingers go out into the falling sandy bottom. In the northeastern part, rock needles stand in front of the reef wall and form gorges. A little deeper there are breakthroughs and caves.

As part of the Salinas Reef, the rugged cliff wall goes from 6m water depth to 35m where it merges into the sloping sandy bottom. In front of it, huge boulders rise, which are covered with sponges. In the northern part a deep grotto goes under the reef at the bottom of the wall.
