Early morning light cuts across black lava and cerulean water as you step off the quay and into the island’s steady current—Lanzarote’s Atlantic swell both partner and test for the diver intent on depth. This freediving training session runs from a local dive center on Lanzarote, where instructors use cables, buoys and controlled weight systems to guide certified apnea divers deeper under supervision.

Early morning light cuts across black lava and cerulean water as you step off the quay and into the island’s steady current—Lanzarote’s Atlantic swell both partner and test for the diver intent on depth. This freediving training session runs from a local dive center on Lanzarote, where instructors use cables, buoys and controlled weight systems to guide certified apnea divers deeper under supervision.
Lanzarote’s coastline is volcanic: recent geology produces steep drop-offs and clear water, ideal for vertical apnea work and visibility. The island’s cultural fabric—shaped by fishermen and the artist César Manrique—means many small harbors retain practical facilities and approachable dive schools rather than mass tourism operations. Expect short boat rides to reef edges and moorings that sit above quick access to blue water.
Practically, the session requires an Apnea license and a moderate level of fitness. The two- to three-hour block focuses on safe descent techniques, equalization, finning efficiency and depth protocols; instructors closely monitor surface intervals and buddy systems. Water temps hover in the high teens to low twenties Celsius, so suit selection matters.
Plan to arrive with a light breakfast, hydrated and rested; avoid heavy alcohol and excessive training the day before. Bring a logbook and a personal depth gauge or freediving computer if you have one. The training is structured, progressive and safety-first—ideal for certified freedivers looking to extend depth limits under expert supervision while enjoying Lanzarote’s stark volcanic beauty.
challenging.
3 hours.
Should have moderate to strong cardiovascular fitness and prior freediving experience; comfortable with repeated breath-holds and surface recovery.
Yes—participants must hold a valid Apnea (freediving) certification to use weights, cables and go to depth under supervision.
Shared sessions are limited to small groups, typically up to 8 divers, ensuring close supervision by instructors.
Year-round water temperatures generally range from about 18–23°C (64–73°F); suit thickness recommendations change accordingly.
This particular session is intended for certified freedivers; beginners should look for introductory apnea courses that teach basic breath-hold and safety skills.
Lanzarote’s shoreline is the result of relatively recent volcanic eruptions; the island’s fishing heritage shaped local dive culture and small, practical harbors used by training operators.
Local operators emphasize no-touch policies, reef-safe sunscreen and proper ballast handling; support operators who follow marine protected area rules and avoid disturbing benthic habitats.
Ocean Freediving Lanzarote operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
