Dive-site story
Situated right off Puerto del Carmen on Lanzarote's southern coast, Harbour Wall traces the outer volcanic rock jetty protecting the old harbor basin. Divers drop down rocky blocks into sandy channels where benthic species congregate. The site serves as a versatile checkout dive and night diving hub, with direct access to deeper offshore drop-offs.
Camouflaged angelsharks resting in the sandy patches adjacent to the wall
Rich macro life including seahorses and nudibranchs clinging to rocky crevices and harbor debris
Sheltered conditions ideal for night diving with frequent sightings of hunting octopuses and rays
