Dive-site story
Located off the northeast coast of Lanzarote near Mala, this site features dramatic volcanic geology shaped by ancient lava flows. Divers follow a series of basalt ravines and volcanic channels that cut through dark rock before opening onto pale sandy bottoms. The exposed offshore position provides clear Atlantic water and attracts pelagic hunters alongside resident benthic species sheltering in the basalt fissures.
Rugged volcanic basalt gullies and lava formations
Frequent encounters with angelsharks resting along the sandy channels
Large schools of barracuda circling over the rocky drop-offs
