Salt in the air, the boat's hull ticking as it cools, and a horizon that throws back Iberian light — this is Lanzarote from sea level. After a short briefing on shore you'll ease into gear, slide into the Atlantic and descend to about 6 meters, where rock outcrops and sandy pockets reveal the island's small marine life up close. Tiny creatures dart among volcanic boulders; an inquisitive octopus can rearrange a rock in the blink of an eye.
