Dive Spot Guide•
La Carrera
La Carrera is a boat-access volcanic trench on Lobos.
Local operator required
Boat access and island authorization make this a guided-trip site.
Plan it as a Corralejo boat dive in a protected island reserve: sandy volcanic terrain, small caves, and conditions that can move from mild to lively.
About La Carrera
La Carrera is a boat-access dive on the east side of Isla de Lobos, set over a white-sand trench framed by black volcanic rock. Small caves, ledges and fallen blocks break up the bottom, so the dive feels more like a short route through sand and stone than a wall. It suits certified divers who want easy terrain with some structure, but access depends on reserve logistics and sea state. Expect rays, angel sharks and mixed fish life when conditions are settled.
