| Old Harbour Wrecks |
Boat Dive. This site has been designated a marine conservation site
and features a well established wreck site supporting a vast
quantity of marine life - sardines, pinfish, Turkish wrasse, emperor
fish, arrow crabs, large groupers, barracuda and sometimes visited
by large rays, tuna and angel sharks. The short boat trip from the
harbour takes divers to a buoy directly above a trawler wreck at 18
metres. We descend down the line to the forward mast and from there
to the bottom. This wreck still has a two metre brass propeller
intact. If you follow the edge of the reef down you'll find other
wrecks which range from a wooden crushed wreck at 24 metres to a
skeletal fishing boat at around 37 metres. There are approximately
eight wrecks together in the area and the site can be dived several
times to explore its entirety. Dived by Manta Diving Lanzarote. |

| The Harbour Wall |
Shore Dive. A very interesting dive both by day & by night. It
begins from the bay or from the jetty. It is a shallow entry leading
leisurely to 24mtrs at its furthest point. For orientation and
navigation purposes the rocks and the harbour wall are kept to the
right on the way out and on the return journey the same features are
kept to the left and this leads straight back the jetty or bay. At
NIGHT the bay takes on a different character, fields of anemones
burst from the normally featureless sandy bottom. Cuttlefish,
octopus and sea horses can be found along the small harbour wall,
spider crab and small shrimps can also be spotted by those with keen
eyesight. During the day there is an abundance of many different
fish & marine life species – a great dive, ideal for those wanting
to take their time and photograph the little creatures! Dived by Manta Diving Lanzarote. |
