Divig on Fuerteventura
Discover the underwater world of our beautiful island
Fuerteventura – a diver’s 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 described as a diver’s paradise. Light blue water, huge schools of fish, and rare fish are every diver’s dream. The pleasant water temperatures averaging 19–23 degrees Celsius and crystal-clear water with visibility of 30 meters attract numerous divers to the volcanic island every year. Experience this amazing underwater world!
Immerse yourself in a world that is second to none
Underwater, an impressive world of rocks, caves, and canyons opens up before you. Some dive sites require a little adventurous spirit—and we don’t want to hide that fact. Those who are not yet quite ready to venture into the depths of the sea can still see large fish and discover a new underwater world with groupers, barracudas, angel sharks, rays, parrotfish, trumpetfish, numerous small creatures such as seahorses, as well as colorful sponges, sea anemones, and cylinder roses, even on shallow dives. Diving allows you to experience 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 suspended state is comparable to a lightness that otherwise only astronauts experience in space.
Underwater – time seems to pass more slowly here
Floating above steep walls and schools of fish, you discover a new dream world. A dive opens up a wonderful and exotic world that you would otherwise only know from photos or television. In this new dimension and from a completely different perspective, divers have 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 take responsibility for yourself and others underwater and to know that you can rely on your diving buddies. Diving expresses the fascination and excitement of discovering unknown underwater worlds – from animals and plants to caves and rock formations. In addition to the release of happiness hormones, it also satisfies your thirst for adventure.<
