About Punta Mujeres Ramp
Punta Mujeres Ramp is a shore dive accessed via a concrete ramp in the small fishing village of Punta Mujeres on the north coast of Lanzarote. The site sits over the characteristic volcanic rock and sandy pockets typical of northern Lanzarote, with the seabed sloping gradually into deeper water, allowing for extended underwater excursions without moving far from shore. The shallow depth range and ramp entry make it well suited for beginner divers and training dives. Marine life is diverse for the depth: angel sharks lie on sandy patches during winter months, electric rays and stingrays rest on the bottom, and cuttlefish, seahorses, octopus, wrasse, and scorpionfish fill the rocky crevices. Wind exposure can affect conditions on the north coast, so check conditions with a local operator before diving if swell or strong northerly winds are forecast.

Punta Mujeres Ramp Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
6m - 12m
Depth Note
Existing data gives 6-8m primary depth; north Lanzarote seabed slopes gradually so deeper water is reachable from the same entry. No site-specific max depth confirmed independently.
Best Season
Lanzarote can be dived year-round. Angel sharks are most likely to be seen November through April. Eagle rays and butterfly rays visit May through October. Water temperature is lowest (18-20C) in winter and warmest (23-25C) in late summer. Northerly winds and swell can make north coast sites rougher in winter months.
Typical Conditions
Water temperature 18-24C across the year. Visibility typically 15-20m; can exceed 25m in calm settled conditions. Current is generally light but can build with northerly wind. North coast exposure means conditions can change quickly.

Snorkeling
The shallow gradient near the ramp is suitable for snorkeling in calm conditions. Rocky sections and sandy patches visible from the surface. Best in settled weather; north coast swell can make snorkeling difficult when present.
