Pasito Blanco Reef

Pasito Blanco Reef sits off the small harbor of Pasito Blanco on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands. This stretch of coastline is volcanic in origin, with rocky reef formations typical of the island's southern shore, and dive operators based around the nearby marinas of Arguineguin and Puerto Rico run trips to sites in this area. The reef reaches a maximum depth of around 19.5 metres, with light current and great visibility, making it a beginner dive over a reef bottom. Moray eels and octopus are regular sightings here, and divers have also reported barracuda, cuttlefish, damselfish, grouper, jacks, pufferfish, snapper, stingrays, tuna, and wrasse. A cave feature has been noted at the site as well.
