El Cabron is a protected volcanic reserve of arches, caverns and swim-throughs entered straight from the shore, teeming with fish and, in winter, angel sharks. The Canaries' finest shore diving.
In season: Year-round · Peak: Oct–May
Easy-to-advanced shore dives over dramatic volcanic topography in warm, clear Atlantic water year-round; the entry over rocks needs care in swell. La Catedral cavern is the trophy.
