Diving is available year-round in Lanzarote, with the best conditions typically found between June and October for those who prefer warmer water temperatures. Visibility can reach 30 metres or more during late spring, summer, and autumn, offering excellent underwater clarity. The local dive centre, Safari Diving, features an impressive house reef with drop-offs and caves, creating an underwater environment suitable for divers of all abilities.
A wide range of beach, boat, and night dives is available at no extra cost, with most dive sites accessible directly from shore or via a short boat journey. Dive packages are offered in 6, 10, or 12 dives, with equipment available to hire, and packages can be shared between family members. Special offers are available for larger groups, and a partnership with Dive College Lanzarote provides divers with a second base in Playa Blanca, including scheduled transport to explore renowned sites such as the Museo Atlántico.
