This dive site, La Lagunita, is located on the northeast side of Isla de Lobos, offering a dramatic underwater landscape. Divers navigate a vast volcanic platform, which lies between 18-20 meters and descends further towards a sandy bottom at 26-28 meters, forming an impressive wall running north to south. A unique feature is a canyon near the middle of this ridge, providing an entry point to the platform and leading to an intriguing hole above it, creating a captivating swim-through experience.
The marine life here is exceptionally diverse. On the volcanic platform, divers can encounter groupers, moray eels, colorful nudibranchs, starfish, and lobsters, alongside pelagic species like barracudas and amberjacks. The sandy areas adjacent to the wall are home to fascinating bottom dwellers, including sting rays, eagle rays, and the elusive angel sharks.
While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, the Canary Islands generally offer excellent diving conditions year-round, making La Lagunita accessible for various skill levels. This site is particularly well-suited for freedivers due to its varied depths and interesting features. Divers should be mindful of navigation within the canyon and hole, especially if currents are present, and always carry a dive computer to monitor depth and no-decompression limits.
