As this is very much a holiday maker's guide I
focus on what might
be seen in 30 minutes by a beginner with snorkel mask and tube. Sites
where I have found 10 species in reasonable numbers I would regard as
average, and there are many of these. Sites with 15 or more species I
regard as excellent. I list the species I found and give some notes on
the site. For me a site has to have safe access from a sandy beach at
some states of the tide. Areas like Famara have ben ignored as unsafe
for beginners.
So far I have explored Costa Teguise and started to
explore Puerto
delCarmen, Playa Blanca and Arrecife but help would be welcome. |
