El Caseron is a boat-run sandstone ridge with big fish life.
El Caseron is a boat-run sandstone ridge off Corralejo in Fuerteventura, set between the Lobos side and the dunes coast. The site is a long, narrow fossil rock feature over sand, so the route feels compact and readable while still holding groupers, rays, and the occasional angel shark. It works best on settled days as a focused marine-life dive rather than a rough-weather outing.
