We have dives available Monday to Friday at 08:30, 11:30 and 14:30 and Saturday at 08:30 and 11:30. In Lanzarote we have some great dive sites to show you from both shore and boat. Some of the dive sites you may enjoy are the Blue Hole, Cathedral and the Red Coral. The Blue Hole is a nice swim through starting at around 18 metres and coming out around 25 metres. The Cathedral is a cavern, it has sponges encrusted on the walls and the ceiling. After you have spent some time in the cavern we come up and over it and swim through the bubble garden. (Our bubbles are slowly working their way through the volcanic rock). The Red Coral is a wall dive, larger fish like Tuna, Barracuda and White Trevallies can be seen here. For the boat dives, we have our own Trimaran hard boat. The boat takes around 10 minutes to get to the dive sites. Some of the boat dives you may enjoy are Waikiki, Punta Tiñosa and Los Arcos. These are a mixture of wall dives. Waikiki is a wall dive, we drop down to around 6 metres and then follow the lava flow arm down to 18 metres. There is a beautiful red coral here, then we follow along the wall and see what marine life we can find! We also have a couple of sets of wreck dives, the Harbour Wrecks and the Tiñosa Wrecks. The Harbour Wrecks is a set of 5 wrecks. The top wreck is at 18 metres. The rest are at a depth of 20-40 metres.
