Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only)
Overview

The promoted dives here are from shore and include an experienced PADI Professional who is guiding you whilst diving in a small group of max. 5 divers per guide.

A shallow plateau leads into various underwater mountains, slopes, reefs, caverns, and volcanic rock formations with a depth from 1-40m. The marine life in Playa Chica is stunning and varies from schools of small fish to big groupers, barracudas, tunas, seahorses, rays, angle sharks, cuttlefish, octopus, sponges, flounders, crabs etc. There is lots of exciting life to see, whilst the visibility varies from 15-40m.
