About this site
La Catedral lies off Gran Canaria in Spain's Canary Islands, in the Atlantic waters off the northwest African coast. It reaches a maximum depth of around 20 metres, is considered a beginner-friendly dive, and offers good visibility over a cave-like rock bottom. Swell has been reported as a hazard at times, so conditions can vary at the surface even though the dive itself suits newer divers. Divers have also reported barracuda, grouper, octopus, and snapper around the site.
