About this site

Amadores lies on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, near Puerto Rico in the municipality of Mogan, one of the more developed resort stretches of the island. The coastline here is volcanic, typical of the Canary Islands, with rocky points and small coves along the shore. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 20 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Barracuda, damselfish, octopus, parrotfish, and wrasse are all present here, and divers have also reported garden eels, nudibranchs, and seahorses along the rocky terrain.
