Lanzarote is much more than a paradise of beaches and volcanic landscapes (which is also). Under its coastal waters hides a fascinating underwater world that enchants divers from all over the world. Thanks to its volcanic origin and privileged location, the island offers a unique biodiversity and dreamlike underwater scenery. From reefs to lava tunnels, each dive in Lanzarote reveals an explosion of marine life that makes every experience unforgettable. The richness, spectacularity and proximity of our fauna (and flora!) attracts both beginners and experts, in an offer adapted to all levels. Here we leave you our complete map of dives, and then we go a little deeper…
Puerto del Carmen: living jewels among shipwrecks and tunnels
Puerto del Carmen is the destination par excellence for those seeking biological diversity in Lanzarote. At iconic dive sites such as the Blue Hole, divers pass through lava tunnels populated by anemones, sponges and nudibranchs, while larger species such as angel sharks, stingrays and moray eels can surprise at any time. Another highlight is the Cueva de las Gambas, where shrimps grouped in large schools offer a hypnotic spectacle while groupers feed. The wrecks in the nearby Barranco del Quíquere and in the harbor have been colonized by catalufas, rascacios and alfonsitos, creating an underwater landscape that mixes history and nature.
Mala: surprising encounters in volcanic landscapes
The Mala area is an example of pure volcanic scenery, ideal for divers looking for unique rocky landscapes. In Charco del Palo it is easy to come across moray eels, octopus and even narwhal shrimps hidden in the hollows; in the sandy areas, on the other hand, you can observe angel sharks, scrapers and beautiful camouflaged rays that challenge the untrained eye.

The volcanic tube known as El Ascensor is another highlight. Here, the walls are decorated with brightly colored sponges, and the experience of going through it is fascinating for any diver. This combination of volcanic geology and marine life makes Mala a memorable dive destination for those who are looking to combine natural beauty with a little adventure.
Playa Blanca: the vibrant south coast of the island
In the south of the island, Playa Blanca is one of the busiest spots on the island in terms of pelagic life. Places like Playa Flamingo and Punta Berrugo it is possible to swim with schools of barracudas, gueldes and jacks. Under the white sands, sharks and angel sharks find refuge, while groupers and octopuses hide in the crevices of the reefs. In addition, in Las Coloradas, a spectacular rocky ledge serves as home or passage area for stingrays, abbots, octopuses, giant anemones, cleaner shrimp, divers, moray eels and even tuna… With its intense marine life, it assures divers exciting encounters, unforgettable views and a complete experience for diving enthusiasts who come to celebrate the natural wealth of Lanzarote.
Costa Teguise: a serene refuge among the fishes

This dive site is not only accessible from the beach, but offers the opportunity to enjoy a miniature ecosystem where novice divers can explore the island’s biodiversity while gaining experience at their own pace in a very exciting way. Undoubtedly, it is an ideal place to start discovering the impressive underwater richness of Lanzarote’s fauna and flora.
