Insider’s View

Lanzarote has an array of astounding volcanic landscapes which tells a geographical story like no other. The islands past spans from the top of the volcanos to below the surface, making underwater topography that will blow your mind. The island suffered 100’s of volcanic eruptions around the 1700’s which created lava streams that froze in the water creating caves and caverns that have become home to barracuda, angel sharks, moray eels, groupers and much more! Coupled with its Subtropical Desert climate, golden sandy beaches, and outdoor activities this destination is a must visit for every scuba diver.

There is a variety of diving on offer, you can partake in some shore diving in Playa Chica which offers dive sites such as The Blue Hole, The Cathedral, The Shrimp Cave to name just a few. If wreck diving is your thing then there is Harbour Wrecks with 6 sunken fishing boats, Tuna Wrecks, Rabat Wreck to name but a few, there is also drift diving and wall diving on the to do list! Of course then there is the breath-taking Museo Atlántico, created by artist Jason De Carnes Taylor!

Vibrant shops, cafe and restaurants, in general, open early and close at lunch time for up to three hours, reopening in the evening when its cooler. The southern area of the island has white sand lining the pristine beaches, however further north, volcanoes have created beautiful red and black beaches. There is an array of accommodation to suit all pockets, from small hotels and large luxurious resorts to private villas and apartments to rent.
