This dive site, known as Artificial - Block3, is one of five sites comprising an extensive artificial reef. It features a fascinating underwater landscape created by a large collection of concrete sculptures, including cubes, tubes, and pyramids. These structures are strategically placed on a sandy bottom, offering a stark visual contrast and easy navigation for divers exploring this deliberately created habitat. The artificial reef project aims to enhance marine biodiversity and offer unique diving experiences.
The concrete structures at Artificial - Block3 have become a thriving home for a variety of marine creatures. Divers can expect to encounter an abundance of rays gracefully gliding across the sandy bottom, numerous trumpet fishes, and elusive moray eels nestled within the sculptures. A notable highlight is the presence of large groups of snappers, often joined by impressive barracudas, adding to the excitement of the dive.
This dive site is suitable for divers of all experience levels, thanks to its mild currents and manageable depths. The excellent visibility typical of the Canary Islands ensures a rewarding experience, particularly for underwater photographers interested in both wide-angle shots of the sculptures and closer views of the diverse marine life. It offers a consistently engaging dive throughout the year, making it a reliable choice for observing vibrant marine ecosystems.
