Las Palmas the Cathedral is a dive for the more experienced Scuba Diver as the maximum depth is 42m. There are a number of very large arches joining together in the middle, which create a Cathedral with shafts of sun light shining through all the arches. A truly amazing sight!! There are also many caves which twist around the arches which gives you plenty of opportunities to explore.
El Pajar is the wreck of a Russian hydrofoil ferry which sank in 2003. She sits upright at a depth of 18m and is a length of 30m. The wreck can be penetrated at a number of places including through the large panoramic windows. The interior is still intact and you can see the seating, toilet area, bridge and engine room. Without fail you will see large shoals of fish and a large number of big Sting Rays under the hull of the ship.
Hole in the Wall is a great dive which starts with a reef on your left hand side which comes up two meters from the sandy bottom, with a maximum depth of 24m. Then there is a hole in the wall which you can swim through taking you to the other side of the main reef. This hole is like a magic door, as once you are through it, you will be amazed by the number of fish above you. There is a cave which has a chimney up through the main reef allowing natural light to fill the inside of the cave.
The Gorgonians near Punta de la Sal is a deep, long dive for the experienced diver. It's a roller coaster ride drop down to 30m where there are Gorgonians of up to 2m wide. Also common to this area are Marbled Electric Ray's which will make your hair standing on end. Other marine life includes Gilt Head Bream and Angel Sharks in the winter months.
