On top of our regular dive trips we also offer a multitude of additional fun, action and adventure: full-day dive excursions to our sister island of Lanzarote or to the nearby village named Giniginamar – during this tour we will taste the delicious original  Canary island tapas prepared by Paco. Or we can take you for a beautiful snorkeling tour along the East coast of Fuerteventura aboard our Valiant DR 750, to many other interesting locations and and and…we are truly open for any exciting suggestions that you may have.

Canyons and Harbour fortification wall Jandia

This is a new tour which we offer only since April 2009. To get there we pass beyond the well-known Moray eel reef of Jandia and Morro Jable harbour. After some further 5 min. by boat we stop and secure the boat at a buoy that was installed by us. The dive site lies some 1500m off-shore, depth range is between 10 and 20m. The rocky bottom is glistening in a red tone and divided by a multitude of canyons. Some people even suggested that the scenery would look just like the Grand Canyon – on a smaller scale of course… During surface time we relocate our boat to the harbour fortification wall where we have a little snack and soft drinks. On the outer side of the wall we prepare for the second dive. Between the natural rocks and artificial, symmetrical concrete protection elements we find a multitude of shelters for various species like Octopus, Sepia, huge Stingrays, Moray eels, Turtles and an abundance of schools of fish. This dive is also ideal for our youngest divers due to the limited depth of 10-12m.

Cost: same as for 2 dives + 5.00€ surcharge
