Key Hazards
Safety Notes
The lava drop is steep and can be disorienting; use a buoy and keep a handle on depth when the wall starts to fall away.

The site sits near the integral reserve and should be handled with local access and marine-park rules in mind.
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.
