Barracuda Scuba Diving Lanzarote - Canary Islands
The team at Barracuda Scuba Diving Lanzarote are all about personalised diving, a real treat on an island that can get busy. They specialise in small group experiences, meaning you actually get to know your guide and feel properly looked after, whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or already have a few hundred dives under your belt. For anyone looking to escape the larger dive operations and enjoy a more intimate, focused approach to exploring Lanzarote's volcanic reefs, this is our pick. We love that they’re based in Playa Honda, a bit quieter than the main tourist hubs. It means you get a relaxed vibe before and after your dives, with some excellent local seafood spots just a stroll away – perfect for debriefing over a fresh grilled fish. Their guides really know the local sites, from the impressive underwater museum to the vibrant shallower reefs around Puerto del Carmen. You’ll hear them share stories about specific moray eels or octopuses they’ve spotted, making each dive feel special. Our favourite dives with them often involved navigating through the lava formations, feeling the cooler water currents shift, and spotting angel sharks tucked into the sand. They're particularly good with newer divers or those wanting to refresh their skills, giving you that extra bit of confidence.
