Wetsuit zipped, fins snug, the Atlantic in front of you calls with a low, steady pull—equal parts curiosity and current. On Lanzarote the first breaths underwater feel like entering a different element: light filters through oily-blue water onto black lava rock, schools of fish orbiting the relief like commuters around a square.

History
Lanzarote’s coastline is shaped by volcanic eruptions from the 18th and 19th centuries; the same lava flows that remade the land formed the reef structures divers explore today.
Conservation
Parts of Lanzarote’s waters are protected (for example the Chinijo Archipelago marine area); follow no-touch rules, avoid anchoring on reefs, and use reef-safe sun protection.

Hydrate and Rest Before Diving
Drink water and get a good night’s sleep—dehydration and fatigue increase the risk of seasickness and can affect equalization underwater.
Bring a Lightweight Sunscreen
You spend time on deck between dives; reef-safe SPF protects skin without harming marine life.
Disclose Health Conditions
Operators require health information—inform them of respiratory, heart, or pregnancy concerns to ensure safety and compliance.
Practice Basic Finning and Mask Clearing
Confined-water drills are brief; you’ll get more from the open-water dives with basic buoyancy and mask-clearing skills practiced beforehand.
Mask & Snorkel
A well-fitting mask speeds comfort during confined-water practice and topside snorkeling between dives.
Shorty or Full Wetsuit
Water temperatures around Lanzarote vary—3–5mm suits are common; operator rental often available.
