Diving on Fuerteventura – Welcome to Paradise!
Fuerteventura is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Canary Islands and offers an impressive and fascinating underwater world. The Canary Islands are rightly known as the diving paradise par excellence. Light blue water, huge schools of fish and rare fish are a diver’s dream. The pleasant average water temperatures of 19 – 23 degrees and crystal-clear water, with visibility of 30 metres, attract numerous divers to the island with its volcanic origins every year. Experience this amazing underwater world!
Dive into a world that is second to none – Diving on Fuerteventura
Underwater, an impressive world of rocks, grottos and canyons opens up to you. Some dive sites require – and we don’t want to hide this here – a bit of a sense of adventure. Those who are not quite ready to venture into the depths of the sea can see large fish despite shallow diving and discover a new underwater world with groupers, baracudas, angel sharks, rays, parrot and trumpet fish, numerous small creatures such as seahorses as well as colourful sponges, sea anemones and cylinder roses. Diving allows you to get to know the sea from a different perspective like no other water sport. It transforms into a fascination and enthusiasm for the underwater world with all its inhabitants. The feeling of being able to breathe underwater and being in a kind of floating state is comparable to a lightness that is otherwise only experienced by astronauts in space.
Underwater – time seems to pass more slowly here
On steep walls, floating above schools of fish, you get to know a new dream world. A dive opens up a marvellous and exotic world that is otherwise only known from photos or television. In this new dimension and from a completely different perspective, the diver has the opportunity to observe fish, turtles and other sea creatures undisturbed in their natural environment.
Diving is a group experience. In addition to the complete silence and the individual gathering of impressions, it is a good feeling to be responsible for yourself and others under water and to know that you can rely on your dive buddies. Diving expresses the fascination and excitement of discovering unknown underwater worlds – from animals and plants to caves and rock formations. As well as releasing happiness hormones, it also satisfies the thirst for adventure.
Dive down and explore the wondrous underwater world of Fuerteventura: whether it’s your first time or you’re already an experienced diver. For beginners, our partner diving school offers great taster courses in which you are slowly introduced to diving before you are literally thrown into the deep end.
Do you already have experience? Then enjoy two wonderful dives in the open Atlantic!
