Pechiguera
Shore-accessible Atlantic wall dive behind Pechiguera.
Coastal entry with a deep-wall payoff, but only in calm windows that keep swell and current manageable.
About Pechiguera
Pechiguera is the area behind the lighthouse in Playa Blanca, where a rocky reef meets open Atlantic water. The site is shore-accessible, but it quickly becomes serious once you move onto the wall, so it suits divers who can match the section to their certification and the sea state. Expect arches, coral growth, and open-sea fish, with bigger pelagics when conditions line up. Calm windows matter more than bravado here, because swell and current can change whether the dive is comfortable or practical.

Scuba Diving
