Marina de Arrecife

Marina de Arrecife is a convenient shore dive site within the harbor of Lanzarote's capital city. This beginner-friendly site surprises divers with its rich marine life thriving in the sheltered port waters. The harbor walls and rocky substrate host an array of species including cuttlefish, octopuses, and a colorful variety of nudibranchs. Schools of mullet and bream patrol the waters, while the pilings and artificial structures serve as habitat for sponges, tube worms, and small crabs. Night dives here are particularly rewarding, as the harbor lights attract plankton and the predators that follow. The ultra-calm conditions make it an ideal training venue for new divers.
