Veril de Arrecife

This dive site, Veril de Arrecife, is a stunning reef located off the coast of Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. Accessible only by boat from the Arrecife harbor, this site offers divers a chance to explore a vibrant underwater world, but requires careful planning due to the potentially strong currents. Divers should be aware of these currents and plan their dives accordingly, potentially using a drift dive technique. The site’s beauty and diverse marine life make it a rewarding experience for intermediate and experienced divers. The reef is teeming with a wide variety of fish, making it a haven for underwater photographers. Moray eels are frequently encountered, lurking in crevices. The possibility of spotting rays and even sharks adds to the excitement. While specific fish species are not explicitly stated, you can expect to see colorful reef fish common to the Atlantic Ocean, alongside diverse coral formations and other invertebrate life. The best time to visit Veril de Arrecife is during the warmer months, typically from May to October, when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is often at its best. However, even during these months, strong currents are a possibility. This dive site is not suitable for beginner divers or snorkelers due to the currents and depth, and freediving is not recommended due to the depth and strong currents. Experienced divers and dive operators can provide the necessary guidance and ensure a safe and memorable dive.
