Dive-site story
Located in Costa Teguise on the eastern coast of Lanzarote, Playa del Jablillo sits within a protected horseshoe bay bordered by natural volcanic rock breakwaters. The calm, shallow basin offers an effortless walk-in shore entry that leads across a patchwork of volcanic reefs, patches of sea grass, and pale sand. Beyond the protective rocky arms, the seabed gently shelves off, offering quiet conditions suitable for refresher sessions, initial open-water training, and macro photography.
