About this site
A volcanic dive site off Lanzarote with dramatic black sand slopes plunging to 30 meters. Expect clear Atlantic waters with excellent visibility year-round. Schools of barracuda and trumpetfish patrol the rocky outcrops, while stingrays glide over the sandy bottom. The unique lava formations create swim-throughs and overhangs teeming with life. Ideal for all skill levels, with mild currents and easy shore access from Puerto Del Carmen. Night dives reveal octopus and lobster activity.
