About this dive site

This dive site, Pandora, located just 15 minutes by boat from Caleta de Sebo, La Graciosa, is celebrated for its breathtaking fields of yellow sea fans. Divers will navigate an expansive underwater garden, exploring vast concentrations of these delicate gorgonians that create a stunning and unique seascape. No specific historical details beyond its natural beauty are provided.

The primary marine life at Pandora consists of the countless yellow sea fans themselves, which form a vibrant habitat. These gorgonian fields attract a variety of smaller reef fish, crustaceans, and potentially nudibranchs, thriving within the intricate coral structures. While large pelagic species are not highlighted, the healthy reef supports a diverse range of typical Canary Islands reef biodiversity.

Pandora is an excellent dive site to visit year-round, especially recommended for underwater photographers who will find abundant opportunities for both wide-angle shots of the gorgonian fields and macro photography of the smaller inhabitants. Its shallow to medium depths make it perfectly accessible for divers of all experience levels. Freedivers will also enjoy exploring the extensive formations due to the suitable average depth.
