About this dive site

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.

The best time to visit is during spring when the sardine schools are present and the water temperature is comfortable. Freedivers will appreciate the calm conditions and shallow depths, while scuba divers can take advantage of the easy access and simple navigation. Remember to be respectful of marine life and adhere to local diving regulations.
