Imagine slipping into the warm waters off Lanzarote’s coast, exploring vibrant marine life, and visiting intriguing wrecks—all in just a couple of hours. For qualified divers, Euro-Divers Lanzarote offers a single shore dive that’s perfect for those wanting a quick but high-quality underwater adventure. Starting at 9:00 am from their conveniently located shop in Puerto del Carmen, this small-group experience (limited to just eight people) takes you to some of the most accessible and scenic dive sites on the island, including Black Beach, Playa Chica, and the famous wrecks. The price of around $50.88 per person makes it an attractive option for both seasoned divers and those looking to squeeze in a memorable splash during a Lanzarote stay.
What we really love about this tour is the intimate scale, which means personalized attention from guides like Dennis and Alba. You’ll benefit from a relaxed atmosphere where safety and camaraderie come first. Plus, the inclusion of complimentary coffee, tea, and water helps keep everyone hydrated and energized before and after the dive. Another highlight? The flexibility to bring your own gear or rent quality equipment—something that can make or break a dive experience—at additional charges.
A potential consideration? Since this is a single dive, it might not satisfy those seeking multiple dives or extended underwater exploration. Also, for the unprepared, gear rental is an extra cost, so budget accordingly if you don’t have your own equipment. This tour is best suited for qualified divers who appreciate a small-group environment, local expertise, and a chance to visit diverse underwater sites without the crowds.

Why You’ll Love This Experience
Diving with Euro-Divers Lanzarote feels like visiting friends who just happen to be expert underwater guides. The shop’s prime location in Puerto del Carmen means you’re just a short walk from several of Lanzarote’s top dive sites—no long boat rides or complicated transfers needed.

A Balanced Look at the Tour
The $50.88 price point is quite reasonable for a certified diver looking to make a single high-quality dive in Lanzarote. The fact that the tour is booked an average of 9 days in advance indicates it’s popular among travelers planning ahead, and the full itinerary is straightforward—just a two-hour dive plus some time for gear setup and debriefing.
What makes the experience valuable? Primarily, the personalized guidance and professional equipment. Reviewers consistently mention the well-maintained gear and friendly staff, which are key for a safe, enjoyable dive. The location of the shop, right in Puerto del Carmen, gives you easy access to several prime sites without needing additional transportation.
A potential drawback might be the additional costs for equipment rental if you don’t bring your own gear. While the tour itself is at a good price, budget considerations should include these extras. Also, since it’s a single dive, it’s less suited for travelers wanting an extensive underwater experience or multiple dives in a day.
Who is this tour for? It’s best for qualified divers who want a personalized, hassle-free experience in Lanzarote’s waters. If you’re comfortable with your own equipment and appreciate small groups and local expertise, this tour ticks many boxes. It’s also ideal for those who prefer to stay close to town and dive sites, avoiding long boat rides or complicated logistics.

Many reviews describe sightings of sea horses, rays, and other fascinating marine life, which makes the dive memorable.

The Dive Itself

Many take the opportunity to chat with guides or fellow divers, sharing highlights of the underwater sights. The entire experience lasts about two hours, making it a manageable activity even on a busy travel schedule.
Returning and Recommendations
You’ll return to the shop, where gear is packed away and any questions answered. Many reviewers have expressed high satisfaction with the professionalism and appreciated the personalized approach. The tour ends at the same meeting point, making logistics straightforward.
Why This Tour Stands Out
The combination of small size, knowledgeable guides, and access to top dive sites makes this experience appealing. The local expertise of Dennis and Alba shines through, with their friendly and professional demeanor earning consistent praise. Many guests comment on how they felt well cared for and how the underwater wildlife sightings exceeded expectations.
The value for money is also notable. For just over fifty dollars, you receive a well-organized, safety-conscious, and scenic underwater experience. The inclusion of refreshments and the option to rent high-quality gear further enhance the overall experience.
