Double Dive with equipment at Pura Vida Lanzarote

MARINE RESERVE AT LANZAROTE

In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean are the marine reserves of Lanzarote: true underwater sanctuaries where nature reveals itself in its purest and most unspoiled state. Diving here is not just a dive, it is a transforming experience that connects the diver with the marine environment in a unique and respectful way.

We dive in these crystal clear waters in small groups. Here, each dive reveals underwater wonders that seem otherworldly, from marine species unique to these waters to aquatic landscapes that feed the soul of any diver, whether a beginner or an expert.

For beginner divers, Lanzarote's waters offer a perfect introduction to the underwater world. Clear, safe and teeming with life, they invite you to learn and, most importantly, to establish a deep connection with the sea and its biodiversity.
