Diving in El Hierro with Arrecifal
Did you know...?
El Hierro is the smallest and westernmost of the Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean. There are more than 20 dive sites, which are all located between 5 and 20 minutes by boat. The Mar de las Calmas Marine Reserve of Fishing Interest is protected from the prevailing trade winds and is perfect for year round diving with visibility as much as 40m at times and rarely less than 20m. Splendid weather, comfortable water temperature and excellent visibility make our island’s underwater bottoms ideal for diving and enjoying its lava landscapes. The geographic characteristics of the island’s bottoms, together with the great quality of its waters, make El Hierro one of the best places to dive in the Canary Islands.
As a result of the volcanic eruptions that took place in 2011, its seabeds have been regenerated, giving rise to a particular biodiversity and a unique underwater landscape full of life, perfect for practicing scuba diving in all its varieties.
