The Pasito Blanco Reef is located off the southernmost point of Gran Canaria Island, approximately 2km/1mi from the shore. The reef is oval in shape and features a variety of rock plateaus, ledges, and overhangs covered in beautiful soft corals. This is a favorite dive site for novice and more experienced divers because it boasts a large concentration of marine life at shallower and medium depths. The reef is also known by its local name Chucho, which means stingray, because of frequent sightings of stingrays in the surrounding waters.
