Best for beginner divers, Up to 23m, boat entry, moderate current.
Roque del Oeste is a seamount wall dive located off the coast of Lanzarote. The wall descends to a depth of 23 metres, offering visibility between 20 and 40 metres. Divers typically experience a drift dive due to moderate currents running along the rock face. While the site is suitable for beginners, surface surge and swell can make boat entries and exits more demanding than the conditions at depth. Water temperatures range from 19C to 23C throughout the year, making a 5mm wetsuit appropriate. Always confirm current and swell conditions with your boat operator before descending, as currents can strengthen unexpectedly.
