Puerto del Carmen

Puerto del Carmen is a comprehensive dive area off Lanzarote's main tourist resort, reaching 40 meters depth across multiple dive profiles. This advanced-rated area encompasses the deeper offshore reef systems beyond the famous Playa Chica sites, where volcanic walls descend steeply into the Atlantic. The deeper sections reveal impressive marine communities including large groupers, schools of barracuda, and black coral colonies, while angel sharks rest on the sandy plateaus between reef formations. The area serves as the hub of Lanzarote's dive industry, with numerous dive centers offering boat access to the outer reefs. Strong currents and significant depths demand advanced skills for the deeper profiles.
