Dear Bella What is diverse? As of 1991, there were 553 species of fish in the waters around the Canaries, and more have beeen discovered since then. On a single dive, entering from shore and diving to a depth of around 20 meters, you are likely to see: 1.angel sharks 2. parrotfish 3...

Hiya Kate Royal Air Maroc has direct flights from Casablanca to Gran Canaria, but they are expensive, around $500 for the direct flight. It is cheaper to go back to mainland Spain via ferry and then fly to the Canaries, or get another ferry over to the Canaries from Cadiz, but that takes 3...

If you can wear contact lenses, that is definitely the way to go. I cannot wear contact lenses (too daft to get them in and out) so I have prescription lenses in my mask, which is fine, no probs, but the point made earlier about being able to see on the boat with your mask off is valid. It is...

And it is indeed to the Brothers you must go for such sights. The north is too crowded. But my point was simply, yes there are whale sharks in the red sea, but I have never seen one. Thus to imply there no mantas here in the canaries in summer simply because I have never had the opportunity to...

Dr Bill, that is always the question! Politically the Canaries belong to Spain, but are closer to Africa...and geographically are in with the Azores and Madeira (Micronesia). Oh, where to place it on a forum.....:-)

Dear Belushi Inform yourself, please, at other dive centers. Mantas are spotted here yearly, and no, I do not have any photos on my website, to my disappointment I have not yet been able to get one. I have been diving in the Red Sea 4 times, and have never seen a whale shark there. (and...

2 Occies on Tenerife

Hello all! :-) I have not been on this board for so long that I will re-introduce myself. Some of the "oldies" on here may perhaps recognize me. I run a dive center on Tenerife and LOVE it, despite the 18 hour days, and when I am not working, fish a little and wander in the mountains...

Dear Carl Diving in the Canaries is fantastic. The eastern islands, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, are a bit colder, water temp around 2C less then the other islands, as they get the cold upwelling off Africa. Otherwise, the dive season is year round, due to the climate here, water temps...

Dear DareDevil Take a look at the link www.tauchernet.com, get in touch with a lady called Jessica, lives in the Zurich area. Tell her I sent you :-) gozumutti

Dive slut :-)) anywhere, any time, any buddy :-))

Hi all Have been absent from the board for some months? a year? but as I seem to have a BIT of time now, I am back. Since I started up a dive center on the Canary Islands, time seems to be at premium. As things now start to run, I hope to have more time to browse the board. I see I have...

This thread has been resurrected, so I will have a stab at it. Red Sea: Hurghada, Marsa Alam, El Queisir Various Lakes in Germany Canary Islands: Lanzarote, Tenerife Out of all the list here, only FOUR have been to the Canaries! You are missing out on a great dive destination. gozu

I dive because I cannot NOT dive...

Hi all, A curious thing happened to me yesterday on a weekend trip to France. I sighted a lost diver trudging up a mountain road, looking a bit disoriented. At first I thought that he had perhaps come in last at a navigation dive competition. I stopped to ask if he lost his way, and he...

A HUG for our lad Chris and our continuing positive thoughts and prayers. The worst is over honey, a tough recovery, but it is a recovery. thinking of you both, gozu
