About this site

The New Wrecks off Lanzarote offer an exciting artificial reef experience in the Atlantic. Three intentionally sunk ships create a dynamic underwater playground, now teeming with marine life. Barracuda, angel sharks, and colorful damselfish weave through the structures. The largest wreck sits at 30 meters, perfect for advanced divers, while shallower sections suit all levels. Strong currents occasionally sweep through, bringing pelagic visitors. Clear waters and good visibility make this a photographer's dream. The wrecks are easily accessible from Puerto Del Carmen, with dive operators running daily trips. Coral growth and encrusting sponges add vibrant contrast to the metal structures.
