Very chill fun dives
Great 2 days of diving, one refresher dives and then a dive to the underwater museum and another boat dive. Great guide great fun and very chilled out for the 2 days
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us for two days of diving and for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and had fun exploring Lanzarote's underwater world with us. It’s great to hear that the refresher dive helped you get back into the water comfortably before heading off to the Underwater Museum and the second boat dive. Thanks for trusting us with your dives, and we hope to welcome you back for more underwater adventures in the future. Scuba Legends Dive Center Lanzarote

Above expectations :-)
As I went for a double dive with my grandson who just became a PADI diver last autumn, we were accompanied by Chantal for a special dive experience. Our first in the Atlantic! She was ready for us with perfect equipment, having us go a bit before the crowd (other diving companies) arrived. She guided us very friendly and highly professional. It was very enjoyable and I felt in good hands the whole time. Thanks again Chantal!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing us for your first dives in the Atlantic! It was a pleasure to dive with you and your grandson and to be part of this special milestone so soon after his certification. I'm very happy to hear that you felt comfortable, well looked after, and that the experience exceeded your expectations. Getting into the water a little ahead of the crowds, enjoying great conditions, and sharing Lanzarote's underwater world with enthusiastic divers like you is exactly what makes these dives so rewarding for us. Thank you again for your kind words and trust. We hope to welcome both of you back for many more Atlantic adventures in the future! Scuba Legends Dive Center Lanzarote

5 days diving in Lanzarote
I had a great time diving with Igor and Chantal in Lanzarote. I spent 5 days diving in different dive spots, either from shore or from the boat. I'm an advanced diver and I could see : the underwater museum, different wrecks, some octopus, stingrays, seahorses, angelote sharks, groupers, nudibranches, and other types of fish :). We were always diving in very small groups so either just me and the dive instructor or else just with another diver more so it felt very private. Thank you guys :) I had a good time discovering Lanzarote underwater.
Response from the operator: Hey Diane, Thanks a lot for your review — sounds like you really made the most out of those 5 days 🙂 From the underwater museum to wrecks and all the marine life in between… that’s pretty much the full Lanzarote experience. Nice to hear you enjoyed the variety and also appreciated the small group setup. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re glad you left with some good memories from below and above the surface. Scuba Legends Dive Center Lanzarote

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lanzarote.
How much does Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only) cost?
+
Prices start at $91 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lanzarote usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only) take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lanzarote is not rushed.
Is Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 142 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lanzarote, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only)?
+
Around 50 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lanzarote can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lanzarote and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lanzarote within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lanzarote?
+
On Outty we rank every Lanzarote experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guapatinis Show Bar Experience, Tour to Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and viewpoint from the cliff, MHT Lanzarote - Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience - No1. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lanzarote?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lanzarote?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Scuba Diving in Lanzarote (for certified divers only)?

Not included: Towels & swimming wear; Gratuities (10% tip for the guide is recommended); Dive equipment (rental gear available at extra charge); and Personal dive accident insurance (obligatory in Spain, day plans available).

+
