🌋 Volcanic Seabeds and Diving Areas in Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen is one of the best-known diving areas in Lanzarote. Underwater, divers may find rocky seabeds, volcanic sand, small caves, walls, sheltered areas and routes with plenty of marine life.
The exact dive site always depends on the conditions of the day: wind, swell, visibility, group level and safety. For that reason, the final diving area is always confirmed with the local partner center.
