Buceo La Restinga
Dive centre in La Restinga, in the south of El Hierro, presenting itself as an official SSI centre. It runs two-dive boat outings in the Mar de las Calmas Marine Reserve, with short crossings from the harbour, courses from Open Water up to Divemaster, and try dives from the boat or the beach for people who have never dived. It also organises diving trips to the Red Sea and the Maldives.
Buceo La Restinga is a dive centre in La Restinga, in the municipality of El Pinar, and describes itself as official SSI centre number 711336. A diving day combines two boat dives: gear is set up at the centre and loaded into a van, and the group walks down to the quay. The dive sites lie a few minutes by boat from the harbour, and between the two dives the boat returns to land to change tanks. Afterwards there is an area to rinse and dry the equipment and a hot shower. With enough divers there are also afternoon outings, and night dives from the Puerto de La Restinga are arranged on request.
The dives take place in the Mar de las Calmas Marine Reserve, created in 1996 at the request of local fishermen, with twelve buoyed sites where anchoring is forbidden. Divers need a certification, a health questionnaire and insurance, which can be taken out on arrival. Training runs from Open Water, with the theory done online, through Advanced, Nitrox and Rescue to Divemaster. The try dive is designed for people without certification: it starts in water just over a metre deep, goes no deeper than five metres, and an instructor stays alongside throughout.

The El Hierro giant lizard
In the 20th century, El Hierro's giant lizard was thought to be extinct. In 1974 a shepherd and his grandson caught a pair, and in 1975 science confirmed it. We have gathered what we know for sure about the species, what nobody knows today, and where you can see it on the island.
