Submarine Tour in Gran Canaria - La Atlántida
What's Included
Experience the thrill of underwater exploration aboard the Golden Shark, a state-of-the-art submarine in Puerto de Mogán. This is a rare opportunity to reach the ocean floor and witness the hidden world of the Atlantic without ever getting your hair wet.
Journey to the Bottom
The tour takes you down to a depth of approximately 25 meters. As you descend, the underwater landscape of Gran Canaria unfolds through your large, individual porthole. You will navigate through "La Atlántida," an artificial reef project designed to boost local biodiversity, now teeming with life.
Shipwrecks and Marine Life
One of the highlights of the dive is visiting two authentic shipwrecks resting on the seabed. These sunken vessels have become home to schools of bream, parrotfish, and even the occasional stingray or moray eel. A TV monitor at your seat allows you to watch the dive and ascent from external cameras, providing a 360-degree perspective of the mission.
Comfort and Safety
The submarine is fully pressurized, meaning you won't feel any change in ear pressure. It is a peaceful, silent, and completely safe environment, making it an ideal adventure for families, seniors, and anyone curious about the deep blue.
