Balitown

★★★★☆ (79)

Nice dive site where the lava rocks are corroded so the landscape looks like a little town whereas the sandy parts look as the streets. On one spot a lost fishing net stands up like a Xmas tree.

The classical Gran Canaria wildlife such as trumpet fish, damsels, octopus, sepia and the occasional rays passing to say hello.
