This dive site is located in Lanzarote, one of the most renowned underwater spots on the island. Situated near Puerto del Carmen, it features an impressive volcanic cave—nicknamed "La Catedral" due to its resemblance to a cathedral. The large entrance opens into a spacious chamber illuminated by light filtering through, creating a dramatic and serene environment for divers. Exploration within this cave reveals fascinating rock formations and provides opportunities to encounter marine life such as groupers, moray eels, and schools of smaller fish. Due to the depth and overhead conditions encountered during the dive, "La Catedral" is recommended only for experienced divers.
