Local Intel For Punta de El Lajial
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a guided multilevel boat dive with buoyancy control and a computer. The volcanic wall and drop suit steady divers more than casual sightseeing.
Freedive
Possible only for very experienced freedivers with local guidance, but the site is much better suited to scuba.
Snorkel
Snorkeling is secondary here; the best structure sits on and below the wall.
