Punta Tiñosa Cave
Lanzarote's underwater landscapes are home to a plethora of small animals, some of which are rarely seen by divers in other islands, such as the elusive Canary lobster. The waters of Lanzarote are teeming with vibrant marine life, but divers need not worry about encountering dangerous species. The marine species found here are generally calm and not overly elusive. Divers may have the fortunate opportunity to encounter angelfishes, large groupers, or even hammerhead sharks, without any cause for alarm.
