Plongée à Fuerteventura — Spain
Fuerteventura is the Canary Islands' angel shark capital — Europe's best chance to encounter these critically endangered elasmobranchs resting on sandy volcanic bottoms. The island's barren, windswept landscape hides surprisingly rich underwater volcanic topography with caves, arches, and lava tunnels. Year-round mild water temps and budget European flights make it an accessible dive break.
