This dive site, Pechiguera, located just outside Playa Blanca, behind the lighthouse on Lanzarote, Spain, is renowned for its impressive wall descending beyond 80 meters. While recreational dives at this specific site are capped at 20 meters, its exposed nature and depth make it exclusively suitable for advanced and technical divers.
Divers can expect encounters with large pelagic life, including shoals of tunas and barracudas, alongside stingrays, angel sharks, and occasionally manta rays. Although small sea life is not abundant, the underwater landscape is enhanced by various corals.
The best time to experience Pechiguera's grandeur is generally during calmer sea conditions. It offers excellent opportunities for experienced freedivers seeking deep wall exploration and for advanced scuba divers focusing on big marine life and dramatic topography. Due to its open sea location, divers should be prepared for potentially variable or strong currents.
