Common Species in Gran Canaria
This is a personal selection of the species that we meet time and again on our easy dives and snorkelling trips. Some such as damselfish, bream and wrasse can often be observed from above in harbours such as Mogan or Puerto Rico. You will find these on dives down to 10 metres so even a complete beginner can expect to meet most of these on a try-dive, while experienced divers will love the ability to relax in shallow waters with such a wide variety of species.
