Choosing where to dive

Spain's dive regions should be compared on their own terms. The Canary Islands have volcanic Atlantic terrain and year-round diving, while mainland and Balearic sites have a Mediterranean character. Conditions, marine life and exposure protection vary, so a country page is the start of the decision rather than a single recommendation.
