Enter from the pier at Playa Chica, hole in the reef around 25m bottom at 30m - really tidal so can be shallower. 2 Shrimp caves to the right as you go down the Blue Hole, catfish can be spotted here (30m). Pinnacle straight in front of the blue hole, beautiful site - especially if dived at the right time of the day the lighting is brilliant. Can be dived all year round, water temperature ranges from 18 (feb) to 25 (july-august)

Has unique topography thanks to Lanzarote being a volcanic island. Huge range of marine life, sun fish (mola mola) have been spotted in 3m of water, angel sharks, rays (electric, common atlantic sting, eagle, even the rare Manta Ray has been spotted here) sea horse, trumpet fish, octopus, the list keeps going!

Found this octopus on this morning's dive to the Blue Hole, with Manta Diving in Lanzarote. Some great shots from this dive including one of a hungry catfish, this octopus in a tube was my favourite because it was so in focus, with his eye wide open!
