Red Cross is a classic Lanzarote reef, a grey lava flow sweeping down the sandy slope to overhang the wall at 25m. You have to look carefully to find the rewards. The yellow tree coral beneath an overhang, the small moray eels, a purple and yellow striped nudibranch, an anemone with arrow crab, a scorpionfish, even a starfish by itself out on the sand – its the minimalist school of underwater art.

Dive Details:

Debs + another divemaster led. Hard work swimming against current, and not very clear. Uncomfy on boat. Saw a lump of red coral. JB

Very pretty dive. Lots of life. Many nudibranchs, barracuda shoal, grouper on the wall, large scallops, arrowhead crabs, lots of fish. Stayed high then dropped down towards the end, safety stop cleared on the ascent. Great dive. MC

Guided boat dive, around pinicals and sandy bottom. AL

Very short boat ride. JC
