Pechiguera is a wall and reef site located off the southern tip of Lanzarote. The topography features a steep drop-off ranging from 20 to 60 metres, with an average depth of 35 metres. Due to strong Atlantic currents, this site is suited for advanced divers capable of managing drift conditions and precise buoyancy. Visibility varies between 15 and 40 metres. Shore entry requires navigating a surf and shore-break section, necessitating careful timing. Water temperatures range from 19 to 21 degrees Celsius, requiring adequate thermal protection. Divers should monitor depth gauges closely due to the rapid descent and potential for strong currents.

Time your entry carefully between sets at the shore break, ideally with a local guide or divemaster who knows the surge patterns at Pechiguera. A dive computer with a depth alarm is strongly advisable given how quickly the wall drops towards 60 metres.
