El Cabron is one of the few marine reserves in The Canary Islands. The site offers an abundance and diversity of marine life. There’s different entry points, and each serves a specific type of diver level. Each area is different, so if your certification allows you, definitely check out all four sites.

You’ll get to experience fun swim-throughs, holes, arches, caverns, caves, and drop-offs. Among the marine animals you can spot here, it’s worth mentioning the barracudas, cuttlefish, octopuses, seahorses, and angel sharks.

The maximum dive depth at El Cabron is 33 meters/108 feet, so you will need to be an advanced diver to enjoy everything the site has to offer.

Because this is a marine reserve, you will not encounter any boats here, and commercial fishing is prohibited. Access is done from the shore.

However, do note that depending on the weather, diving may or may not be possible.
