The clear waters of the Atlantic present you with tantalising choices,as scuba covers many forms. Drift, reef, cavern, wreck, photography or lava tube, Lanzarote has it all. Best you choose a good school to go with, Calipso Diving, based in Costa Teguise is a BSAC centre of excellence and can show you the best sites.
There are 7 main diving reefs to choose from, try the lava caves of Mala in the north for a glimpse of the volcanic past. Punta Jabillo, near Costa Teguise is fairly shallow at 7 metres but a good place to spot Angel Sharks.
Who else would sink 3 boats especially for your diving pleasure, that happened at the Wreck Park, just west of Puerto del Carmen in 2004. They join 3 other sunken vessels around Punta Tinosa and Barranco de Kikere, at up to 29 metres this has a deep fascination. The Rabat wreck sits just outside the Lanzarote capital Arrecife, scene of many a sea battle but now the place to find black sea urchins and barracuda.
