2 Ancoras
Lagos reef wall dive with two historic anchors and macro life.
ScubaBoat EntryBeginner
ReefWall
Usually dived by boat from Lagos on a short run to a reef wall over sand, where modest Atlantic visibility and slow multilevel laps suit relaxed recreational profiles.
About 2 Ancoras
2 Ancoras is a Lagos boat dive built around a reef wall that drops onto sand, with two large admiralty-style anchors providing the site's most recognizable landmarks. The dive is more about following the wall slowly and working the cracks, ledges, and sandy edge than about dramatic swim-throughs, which makes it a comfortable Atlantic reef plan for divers who like structure, macro hunting, and a touch of maritime history. The reef usually rewards patient diving with small Atlantic life rather than headline pelagics. Conger eels, octopus, crabs, nudibranchs, sea bream, and other invertebrate-rich reef life turn up around the stone, while anemones and gorgonian growth add color to the harder sections.
