Easy Playa Blanca boat dive on volcanic reef and cave.
Punta Berrugo is a relaxed boat dive off Playa Blanca on Lanzarote’s volcanic south coast, working along a sand-and-rock margin with a small cave and wreck fragments. The route has enough shape to stay interesting without becoming technical, so it suits easy guided outings and returning local divers. Moray eels, rays, barracuda, angelsharks, octopus, and other schooling fish make the site feel lively, while the clear water and minimal current keep the dive comfortable. It is a good all-round Lanzarote reef dive when you want volcanic terrain, caves, and plenty of marine life in one short boat trip.

Scuba Diving
A simple, entertaining dive with varied scenery along the sand–rock margin, including caves, small drop-offs, and large sandbanks.
Freediving
Not the primary use case; the structure and depth profile suit scuba better than breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkel support is better handled in the broader Playa Blanca area. Punta Berrugo itself is a scuba-first boat dive.
