Lanzarote: 2 Guided Dives (Certified Divers Only)
Imagine waking up in Lanzarote, a volcanic island in the Canary Islands, ready for a morning of underwater exploration. For $108 per person, you’ll join a group of certified divers for two guided dives that take you through reefs, caves, caverns, and wreck sites across the island. The tour lasts about five hours, with pick-up from key locations like Puerto del Carmen, Arrecife, and Costa Teguise, making logistics one less thing to worry about.
What we really love about this tour is the personalized attention — small groups with experienced, multilingual instructors ensure you’re well cared for and comfortable. Plus, the variety of dive sites keeps things interesting, from underwater caves to wreck explorations, which makes this tour a fantastic value for seasoned divers wanting more than just a shallow reef experience.
However, if you’re not a certified diver, this experience isn’t for you, and insurance is a must — which is an important consideration.

Starting with Convenience: Pickup and Transportation
One of the biggest advantages of this tour is the included transport. You can be picked up from Puerto del Carmen, Arrecife, or Costa Teguise, which covers most of the popular resorts. The white van with the AQUATIS logo makes it easy to spot, and the journey to the dive sites takes about 20 minutes. This setup ensures you spend less time worrying about logistics and more time focusing on the underwater adventure ahead.
The vans are modern, comfortable, and suited for small groups, which enhances the overall experience. The short drive also gives your guides a chance to brief you on the day’s plan, discuss site specifics, and answer any last-minute questions.
The Itinerary: What Happens During the Day?
The tour is structured to maximize your underwater time while balancing safety and enjoyment. Expect a total of approximately 100 minutes of diving, split into two roughly 50-minute dives. After your first dive, there’s a one-hour break on land, perfect for snacks, hydration, and comparing notes with fellow divers.
The actual dive sites are selected based on weather, current conditions, your certification level, and specific requests — so no two days are exactly the same. You might explore vibrant reefs, intriguing caves, or even wrecks, all led by experienced guides who speak five languages.
