This dive site, Salobre Reef, is a natural extension of the beautiful Pasito Blanco Natural Reef. It features a prominent, approximately 2-meter high wall often referred to as 'MORAY alley,' indicating a high concentration of moray eels. Divers can navigate along this wall, exploring its crevices, and then venture to the sandy bottom adjacent to it. There is no specific history or story behind the dive site provided, beyond its natural formation as part of a larger reef system.
The marine life at Salobre Reef is abundant and diverse. On the sandy bottom, divers can frequently encounter various species of rays, including eagle rays, electric rays, and stingrays, along with different types of sharks. The highlight of the wall, living up to its 'MORAY alley' name, is the presence of all three common types of moray eels: the green, brown, and the visually striking tiger moray. The general description also mentions 'a lot of wild life,' implying a rich variety of reef fish and other smaller creatures.
While no specific 'best time to visit' is provided in the description, the Canary Islands generally offer good diving conditions year-round. Divers are advised to pay close attention to the sandy bottom for rays and sharks, and to meticulously explore the wall for the resident moray eels. Its comfortable average depth of 10 meters makes it approachable for beginner divers, while the potential for larger marine life and interesting topography ensures a rewarding experience for more experienced divers and freedivers alike.
