One of the highlights of diving in Sardina del Norte is the chance to see seahorses, which are rare and elusive creatures. They can be found hiding among the algae and seagrass, or clinging to the giant anemones that grow on the rocks. These colorful and delicate animals are a delight to observe and photograph.

Another attraction of this diving site is the abundance and variety of fish that swim in large schools around the divers. You can encounter amberjacks, angelfish, stingrays, thorny butterfly rays, garden eels and many more. The fish are used to divers and are not shy, so you can get close to them and enjoy their beauty.

    A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
