Easy beach dive with varied life in a quiet Fuerteventura bay.
Shallow east-coast shore dive in a quiet bay, best for low-stress sessions, snorkel add-ons, and beginner training when the sea is flat.
About Pozo Negro
Pozo Negro is a relaxed beach-entry site on Fuerteventura's east coast, set in a quiet bay with sand, stone, and a shallow bottom. The dive is easy enough for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers, and it works best as a low-friction session when the sea is flat. Expect simple shore access, calm water on the right day, and plenty of small marine life from the first meters, with moray eels, rays, octopus, cuttlefish, angel sharks, crabs, and nudibranchs adding interest around the bay.
