Operator write-up for the Punta de la Pared shore dive.
Advanced shore dive with a canyon, reef wall, and strong marine life.
Advanced shore dive with a canyon, reef wall, and strong marine life.
Punta de la Pared is a shore dive for calm-weather days, built around a canyon, reef wall, and scattered volcanic slabs. The entry is the hard part, but once underwater the site rewards careful navigation along the wall and into the canyon where the rock forms and sand edge create a strong route. It suits experienced divers who want a more adventurous dive with ray and shark potential, plus the usual Lanzarote mix of reef fish and hard-growth life.
