El Bajon

El Bajon is the Canaries' most famous single dive: a saddle-backed volcanic pinnacle off La Restinga whose twin peaks climb from deep blue to near-snorkel depth. The rock is ringed by life that reserve protection has let grow old — dusky groupers of real size, island groupers, thick schools of amberjack and barracuda wheeling off the towers, morays in every crack. In the warm months something bigger often passes: mobulas, tuna, occasionally a whale shark. Water clarity in the Mar de las Calmas routinely embarrasses the rest of Europe.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Twin towers in blue water, large groupers, summer pelagic fly-bys

टोपोग्राफी: Twin volcanic towers rising from deep water to within about 8 m of the surface

करंट: An open-water pinnacle — current can pick up mid-dive and dives are planned around it.

प्रवेश: Short boat ride from La Restinga, El Hierro, inside the Mar de las Calmas marine reserve; dived when current allows.

खतरे: Current and open-water exposure; the summit tempts divers upward while the walls tempt them past plan depth.

परमिट और नियम: Daily boat and diver management applies within the reserve — book through local operators.

संरक्षण: Inside the Mar de las Calmas reserve; diving runs through authorized La Restinga centers under reserve rules.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
