About this tour
Your first dive off Lanzarote's coast takes you down to 6 metres with a qualified instructor guiding you through the essentials. Over two and a half hours, you'll descend into clear Atlantic waters to spot the island's smaller marine residents—nudibranchs, gobies, octopus—plus whatever larger creatures decide to make an appearance. All gear, transport, and tuition included; the reef does the rest.
Highlights
- Guided descent to 6 metres for beginners
- 40–50 minute underwater exploration
- Spot octopus, rays, and colourful reef fish
- Full equipment and insurance provided
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the dive centre, get kitted into a wetsuit and BCD, then review safety drills in shallow water before heading to the site. The descent is gradual and controlled. Visibility here is usually good, and at 6 metres you're in the goldilocks zone—deep enough for real marine life, shallow enough to stay calm. Expect to spend most time observing rather than swimming; the underwater world moves slowly. You surface after roughly 50 minutes, decompress, and head back.
