Fuerteventura
Spain · Atlantic Ocean
Fuerteventura sits just 100 kilometres off the African coast where Atlantic upwellings fuel a productive marine ecosystem — manta ray aggregations, pelagic encounters, wreck diving, and exceptional macro life reward divers who look beyond the island's famous beaches.
