About Rocha Negra
Rocha Negra is a volcanic wall dive off Lagos with dark rock relief, ledges, and crevices that hold plenty of small marine life. It is usually approached as a boat dive and rewards slow buoyancy control rather than fast cruising. The wall carries gorgonian growth and is known for octopus, eels, nudibranchs, cuttlefish, and crabs. Calmer days make the site feel more relaxed, while the rock face and shaded pockets keep it interesting for careful macro searching.
