Outside the harbor the seabed becomes steep very quickly. While places off La Palma are steep, off El Hierro the drop-offs are vertical. Only a few hundred meters from the coast is the legendary El Bajon, exposed to strong currents and deep. Theoretically you can see the complete Atlantic fauna swimming by; you just need a bit of luck. You can certainly see fish in great numbers at this spectacular dive site, which is probably one of the most popular of El Hierro.

El Bahon probably the signature dive of La Restinga some 3mins boatride from the harbour. El Bahon is easiest described as two rock pinnacles with the top of the pinnacle at about 10m. The pinnacle is interconnected with a shelf running between the two at about 20m. One side drops to about 40m the other side to about 80m+. Home to Grouper and Chopas which will come in en mass to graze of the plant growth.
