About this dive site

This dive site, Bahia Verde, is a coastal drift dive located off the Green Beach hotel in Spain's Canary Islands. Divers experience a gentle drift along natural and artificial coastal fortifications, which serve as excellent hiding spots for marine life. The dive navigates along a wall that gradually transitions into natural rock formations, providing a varied underwater landscape. No specific historical events or stories are provided for this site beyond its natural features.

The site is home to a good amount of wildlife, notably featuring large groups of groupers that are often found sheltering within the ideal hiding places provided by the wall structures. As the topography shifts to natural rocks, divers will discover extensive formations of vibrant yellow sponges, which in turn attract a diverse array of smaller creatures and contribute to a rich benthic environment.

While specific seasonal highlights are not mentioned, the consistently shallow depths (maximum 11 meters, average 5 meters) make Bahia Verde an excellent and accessible dive site suitable for year-round exploration by both scuba divers and freedivers. Its mild to moderate drift offers a relaxed yet engaging experience, making it particularly appealing for beginner divers seeking to explore a vibrant coastal ecosystem.
