This dive site, Baja de Luis, is characterized by a distinctive huge volcanic oval-shaped rock plateau. It rises from a sandy and rocky bottom at 14 meters, reaching a top depth of 8-9 meters. Divers can easily navigate by following the small wall created by this gap, completing a circuit around the rock to explore the numerous cracks and cuts. There is no historical information provided for this specific site.
The diverse volcanic landscape provides habitat for a variety of marine life. Between the cracks and cuts, divers can discover moray eels, crabs, and prawns. Underneath the overhangs, groupers, breams, and jacks are commonly spotted. Seasonally, the site is known for sightings of impressive angelsharks and various rays, with occasional visits from turtles adding to the rich biodiversity.
The best time to visit Baja de Luis for peak marine life, especially angelsharks and rays, is during their respective seasons (typically late autumn to spring for angelsharks in the Canaries). Its shallow depth and gentle nature make it ideal for beginners and photography enthusiasts focusing on both macro life and wider scenes of reef fish. It's also perfectly suited for snorkeling and freediving due to the accessible depths and vibrant ecosystem.
