About this dive site

It features a unique multilevel lava reef system that extends from east to west, offering diverse topography for exploration. The top section of the reef is found at approximately 12 meters, while the lower parts reach up to 20 meters, though the maximum advertised depth is 18 meters. The structure of the reef allows for easy navigation, following the natural contours of the lava formations.

Punta Gines is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of species, including the elusive Angel Sharks, various types of rays, and moray eels. Schools of breams and bass are commonly seen, alongside barracudas, adding to the excitement of the dive. The volcanic landscape also provides numerous hiding spots and habitats for smaller reef fish and invertebrates.

While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, diving in Lanzarote is generally good year-round due to the stable water temperatures and good visibility. The multilevel nature of Punta Gines makes it suitable for different dive profiles, allowing both beginners to explore the shallower parts and more experienced divers to venture deeper. For freedivers and snorkelers, the shallower sections of the reef offer excellent opportunities to observe marine life from the surface or with breath-hold dives.
