Costa Teguise, a coastal town on the eastern shore of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain, offers waters teeming with volcanic formations and vibrant marine life. Aquatis Diving Center invites divers seeking to deepen their underwater experience to enroll in the SSI Enriched Air Nitrox Specialty Program. This two-day course teaches participants how to safely use enriched air mixtures, which allow longer bottom times and shorter decompression stops compared to standard air.
The dives take place around Costa Teguise’s distinctive underwater volcanic landscape, where black lava rock formations create natural caves and swim-throughs. These sites provide an ideal environment to practice new Nitrox techniques in diverse conditions—from open water to sheltered bays. The area’s clear, warm waters are home to species like colorful parrotfish, moray eels, and octopuses, enhancing the training dives with engaging marine encounters.
Aquatis Diving Center’s local expertise and commitment to safety make it a standout choice for this specialty certification. Beyond training, the staff shares insights on local ocean conditions, dive etiquette, and conservation efforts protecting Lanzarote’s unique aquatic ecosystem. The SSI certification earned here carries global recognition, ensuring divers can apply their knowledge on future Nitrox dives worldwide.
Costa Teguise itself is a hub for relaxed beach life and authentic Canarian culture, with volcanic black sand beaches and seaside promenades. The combination of rich marine environments and approachable training sets Aquatis apart as a gateway for divers eager to extend their time beneath the waves while minimizing surface intervals. Whether you’re advancing your dive credentials or aiming to maximize each excursion into these captivating Atlantic waters, this program delivers practical skills alongside unforgettable underwater moments.
