About this site
Emboscada, also known as La Emboscada, is a wall dive located in the central area of Fuerteventura, along the Veril de Las Salinas. The wall drops from just a few metres below the surface to more than 40 metres, running very close to the coast. Rock formations along the wall make for an entertaining and varied tour of the dive.
Given the depth range reaching beyond 40 metres, Emboscada is suited to intermediate divers with solid skills and experience rather than beginners.
