AGUJERO AZUL
Spanje
Agujero Azul is a tunnel that connects a shallow sandy area with a drop off. Jump into the water from the dock at Playa Chica. At high tide you can jump, at low tide, take the stairs. Than swim diagonally to the right and dive over the sandy bottom looking for the entrance to the tunnel, at about 20meters. In the tunnel keep the rock wall on your left side and leave the water at the Playa Chica. During your dive you will see all the beauty from the underwater world of Lanzarote, from seahorses to sharks and sometimes a manta!
Particulars
One of the most famous dive sites in Puerto del Carmen, and a dive that you really must have made! First check out the sandy area at the top of the tunnel before you are going through. Exit the tunnel on the left or right and then explore the caves and caverns in the wall while you ascend slowly.
Warnings
Watch out for the boats at the dock of Playa Chica.
