Guaranteed Small Group Sizes

Lanzarote scuba diving tours guarantee small group sizes, ensuring a personalized and intimate diving experience for certified participants. The group size is capped at a maximum of 4 travelers per outing, enabling the certified PADI instructor to provide attentive guidance and supervision throughout the dives.

Smaller groups foster better communication and collaboration among divers, allowing the instructor to address individual needs and concerns more effectively.

Reduced group size minimizes the environmental impact on the delicate marine ecosystems, promoting sustainable diving practices.

Intimate group settings encourage camaraderie and shared exploration, creating lasting memories for the divers.

Towels and Swimming Wear

Participants typically bring their own towels and swimming wear for the scuba diving activity in Lanzarote, as these items aren’t provided as part of the included amenities. This allows divers to have the necessary gear they’re comfortable with, rather than using shared or rental items.

It’s important to pack a swimsuit, rash guard, or wetsuit, depending on the water temperature, as well as a towel to dry off after the dive. Bringing these personal items ensures divers can focus on the diving experience itself, rather than worrying about the logistics of shared gear.

Having your own towel and swimwear also provides a more hygienic and comfortable option for the activity.

Gratuities and Equipment Rental

The gratuities and equipment rental aren’t included in the scuba diving activity price. Divers will need to arrange and pay for any gear they wish to use, such as wetsuits, masks, and fins, separately from the guided tour package. A list of recommended rental providers can be shared upon request.

Renting equipment ensures it’s properly maintained and fits you well, providing a safer and more comfortable diving experience.

Bringing your own equipment can save money, but requires additional preparation and ensures familiarity with your gear.

Tipping the PADI instructor is customary to show appreciation for their expertise and guidance throughout the dive.

Dive Insurance Requirement in Spain

One important requirement for scuba diving in Spain is that divers must carry valid dive insurance, as it’s obligatory by law. This protects divers in case of any accidents or emergencies that may occur during the dive.

Without proper dive insurance, divers may face significant out-of-pocket expenses for medical treatment or other costs. The activity provider will likely require proof of dive insurance before allowing participants to join the dive.

Divers who don’t already have coverage can purchase it separately, either through their dive certification agency or a third-party provider. Ensuring you have the necessary dive insurance is a crucial step in preparing for a safe and enjoyable scuba diving experience in Lanzarote.

Meeting and Pickup Location

Divers meet at C. Bajamar, 2, 35510 Tías, Las Palmas, Spain to begin the scuba diving activity, which takes place at Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen.

This convenient meeting location ensures a smooth start to the day’s adventure.

Once gathered, divers will:

Be briefed on the day’s plan and safety protocols by the certified PADI instructor
Receive any final equipment checks before heading to the dive site
Enjoy the short journey to the stunning Playa Chica, known for its excellent diving conditions

The meeting point is easily accessible, setting the stage for an unforgettable scuba diving experience in the waters surrounding Lanzarote.
