Marine Life

Canarian marine life is a distinctive mix: eastern Atlantic species over volcanic rock, from wintering angel sharks on the sand to barracuda schools, stingrays, moray eels, and the occasional passing pelagic. This collection profiles the animals divers most want to see and explains where in the archipelago and in the season your odds are genuinely best. We keep sighting advice honest — wild animals keep their own calendars, and no guide can promise an encounter. What we can do is describe habitat, typical seasonality, and respectful approach behavior, including the protected status of species like the critically endangered angel shark, which must never be touched, chased, or disturbed.
