Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Canary Islands
Made up of eight main volcanic islands, the Canaries are Spain’s southernmost point. While this location comes with year-round pleasant weather on dry land, it also brings warmer waters that make the Canary Islands one of the most vibrant scuba diving spots in Spain. From Tenerife to Lanzarote, divers will be spoilt for choice on these Islands that lie off the coast of Africa.
Playa Blanca is a town and divers paradise in the south of Lanzarote with over 30 spots to explore below the waves. There are two particular ones that stand out. Firstly the “Flamingo Wall,” this location is often described as an underwater aquarium due to the variety and density of its ecosystem. Found behind the breakwater at Flamingo beach you will discover large schools of bream in addition to tuna and jackfish. If you are really lucky you may even come across the endangered angel shark.
A diving trip to the Canaries would be incomplete without stopping at Museo Atlántico. Opening in 2016, Museo Atlántico — also in Playa Blanca — is Europe’s only underwater museum. Artist Jason deCaires Taylor has designed over 300 sculptures which play on the importance of nature and humankind’s need to protect it. All the figures are made of concrete with a neutral pH value which has encouraged a boom in the local biodiversity.
If you are in Lanzarote, there is no better place to stay than Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa which will add a drop of luxury to your exciting subaquatic holiday.
