Red Coral, also known as Playa Chica Wall, is a premier dive site in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, celebrated for its colonies of precious red coral that adorn the volcanic wall. This beginner-friendly site features a vertical rock face descending alongside Playa Chica beach, with the wall's surface decorated in vivid sponges, hydroids, and the iconic red coral formations. The site teems with marine life including nudibranchs, fireworms, and decorator crabs on the wall, while barracuda and damselfish patrol the open water. Night dives here are exceptional, revealing nocturnal hunters like octopuses and Spanish lobsters emerging from their daytime hiding spots.
