This dive site, Boca de Esquinzo, is located in Lanzarote, Spain, and offers an excellent training area for beginners and those looking to refresh their skills. Its sandy bottom and seagrass beds provide easy navigation, making it perfect for introductory dives and freediving. Access is directly from the beach, eliminating the need for a boat. The site is relatively small and uncomplicated, making it ideal for controlled learning environments.
Marine life is abundant, with angel sharks, rays, and cuttlefish being notable sightings. Countless species of small fish inhabit the seagrass, offering opportunities for macro photography. In spring, schools of sardines can be seen from the surface, creating a stunning visual spectacle.
