Lanzarote is an ideal and popular location for a diving holiday offering divine diving all year round.  This Volcanic Canary Island offers a variety of dives such as; shallow patch reefs to deep water, walls, caverns, overhangs, holes and wrecks which are virtually intact.

There are seasonal differences in under water life, for example the arrival of the Angel sharks in October. Generally, when diving on Lanzarote, you will find an abundance of marine life, with over 500 different species of fish amongst wrecks and volcanic caves.
