Lanzarote Diving Atlas
At Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen, you enter the water from the sandy beach or the small El Muellito jetty, with two lava tongues protecting the shallow waters of the bay. The boat from a dive centre takes you to the Museo Atlántico and its sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor, just five minutes away from the Marina Rubicón in Playa Blanca. The Marine Reserve in the north encompasses the coast and the islands around La Graciosa, where diving is only permitted with prior authorisation. Nine car rental companies have desks at César Manrique Airport. The ferry to La Graciosa departs from Órzola and takes 25 to 30 minutes.
This guide is written for divers who drive to the dive sites themselves or dive through a dive centre. Each profile lists the shore entry and parking, and the wind rose shows you which wind conditions make the site unsuitable. Sample weeks with Plan B combine the sites into dive days. Above water, you’ll find accommodation near the dive sites, restaurants and excursions, with a map link for each location. Finally, there are sections on getting there, travel information and emergencies and recompression chambers.
You’ll receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print at home as a booklet.
