Spain is one of the most visited countries in the world. The unique old buildings, the splendor of nature, the hospitality of the Spanish population, attracts more and more tourists every year. But diving in Spain is not the last place.
Canary Islands
The first place for scuba diving is rightfully occupied by the Canary Islands, famous for their underwater arches and caves. In addition to dolphins, you can meet other inhabitants of the sea here, especially giants - whales. The Canary Islands arose due to the high activity of the volcano, so many ships crashed on the underwater rocks. Good underwater visibility allows divers to find various artifacts from sunken ships.
Tenerife
The island of Tenerife is ideal for both beginners and professional divers. This is a great opportunity to see loggerhead turtles or aphilin dolphins up close. Like the previous islands, it is of volcanic origin. The incredible beauty of the underwater world will delight you with its caves, rocks and grottoes. A variety of fish are found near the coast, such as dorado, stingray, moray eel, rock perch, angel shark and many others.
Cape Creus
Cape Creus, located in the northern part of the Costa Brava, is a favorite spot for divers. Connoisseurs of nature untouched by civilization will be delighted, virgin nature has retained its charm. The natural park with its purest water meets a wide variety of marine life and plants. Corals, amazing gorgonians at the bottom of the sea, as well as huge octopuses and moray eels. To get a closer look, you should descend into the underwater crevices in the rocks, some of which are visible on the surface of the water.
Archipelago Medas
It is worth paying attention to the islands of the Medas archipelago. Thread burbots, algae, nudibranch molluscs will be excellent prey for photography. At a depth of about 25 meters, shoals of brightly colored fish can be observed - denticles, beaked beaks and black-tailed beaks. And the underwater bed is covered with sea fans, which shimmer in all shades of yellow and red in the light of a lantern.
Remember that diving during a storm is not recommended as visibility drops sharply and the chance of not seeing anything increases. There is no need to play with sea inhabitants, even a passing jellyfish or sea urchin can cause serious injuries such as burns or even death. To feel completely safe underwater, you just need to follow a few rules.
