Dive Timanfaya reef
Located just two minutes by boat from Dive College Lanzarote, Timanfaya Reef offers an unforgettable underwater experience in Playa Blanca. This beautiful dive site ranges from 6 to 20 meters deep, making it perfect for divers of all levels, from beginners to experienced explorers.
The reef is named after the famous Timanfaya National Park and mirrors the dramatic volcanic landscapes found above the surface. As you descend, you are surrounded by impressive volcanic rock formations shaped by ancient lava flows. The rugged structure of the reef creates a striking underwater scenery that feels both wild and untouched.
Marine life is abundant here. Schools of shimmering barracuda often patrol the area, moving together in hypnotic formation. Look carefully along the sandy patches and you might spot a ray gliding gracefully over the seabed or resting under a ledge. Lucky divers may also encounter the elusive angel shark, perfectly camouflaged against the sand. These gentle, bottom-dwelling sharks are a rare and special sight.
Throughout the dive, a colorful variety of reef fish bring the volcanic backdrop to life. From curious wrasse and damselfish to more secretive species hiding among the rocks, Timanfaya Reef is a lively and ever-changing scene. The reef’s clear waters and mild currents make it easy to enjoy the marine life without effort, offering great conditions for underwater photography as well.
Whether you are just starting your diving journey or you already have years of experience, Timanfaya Reef offers something unique. Its accessibility, combined with the volcanic beauty and rich marine biodiversity, makes it one of the most popular dive sites near Playa Blanca. The short boat ride from Dive College Lanzarote means you’ll spend less time traveling and more time exploring the underwater world.
If you enjoy diving in places where natural history and marine life come together in a spectacular setting, a dive at Timanfaya Reef should definitely be on your list during your stay in Lanzarote.
