April 2004 Based on 2 dives off Play Blanca. Water too cold for double thickness 5mm wet suits on juniors. Shore entries across rocks and rough beach. I've done better dives!

Wreck Dives:

Here are the wreck dives we know of for Lanzarote.

Old Harbour Wrecks
Ranked as Awesome by independant reviews Ranked as Awesome by independant reviews Ranked as Awesome by independant reviews
A short boat trip from the harbour takes divers to a buoy directly above a trawler wreck at 18 metres. Descend down the line to the forward mast and from there to the bottom. This wreck still has a two metre brass propeller intact. If you follow the edge of the reef down you will find other wrecks which range from a wooden crushed wreck at 24 metres to a skeletal fishing boat at around 37 metres. There are approximately eight wrecks together in the area.
18m / 59ft
37m / 121ft
Deliberately sunk: 01-Jan-1990 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving. More info...
