Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is an authentic paradise for sea
lovers and for those who participate in the
whole host of marine and maritime activities.
The water temperature (18º in winter and
22º for the rest of the year), sporting facilities
and pleasure marina infrastructures, perfect
sea and wind conditions are all favourable
characteristics for sailing and for carrying out
all kinds of nautical sporting activities through
the entire year. In fact, this sub-sector is the most
important leisure component for the Island.
The island’s 236 kilometres of coastline provide
the best conditions for carrying out all kinds
of nautical and water sports. Perfect winds for
sailing, prevailing sea currents giving rise to
large banks of fish close to the coast, and the
amazing sea bed features are the region’s key
natural advantages. This means that whilst
the rest of Europe has to postpone their sea
activities during the winter, Gran Canaria is a
great sporting resort that is open all year round.
