Dive College Lanzarote - Canary Islands
The team at Dive College Lanzarote are PADI pros through and through, running a slick operation right on the seafront. If you’re serious about your PADI progression, from your first open water dives to instructor development, this is the place. We love their direct access to the water, no faffing with boat transfers every morning; you just gear up and walk right in. They’ve really nailed the balance between professional training and keeping things relaxed. We’ve found their instructors strike a great chord, pushing you just enough without making it feel like school. Our favourite thing has to be the shore dives just off the centre. You can be exploring volcanic reefs and spotting cuttlefish within minutes of stepping out the door. It makes for super convenient diving, especially for those who get a bit green on boats. Plus, the visibility here is reliably good, often 20 metres, even on overcast days. We’d suggest going for an early morning dive before the beach gets too busy; it’s when the fish are most active. For anyone looking to deepen their PADI knowledge or even go pro, Dive College Lanzarote offers a solid, no-nonsense experience.
