Native Diving - Canary Islands
The team at Native Diving are the kind of people you want looking after you on a dive trip. Established back in 1999, they’ve been showing divers the best of Lanzarote’s underwater world from their spot on Playa del Jablillo in Costa Teguise for decades. What we love about them is their genuine enthusiasm, whether you're taking your first breaths underwater with a Bautizo de buceo or pushing your SSI or PADI certs. They specialise in making every diver, from brand-new to seasoned, feel completely at ease. We’d suggest them particularly for divers who appreciate a friendly, personal touch rather than a big, impersonal operation. You choose Native Diving for the comfortable boat rides, the thorough briefings that actually get you excited for the dive, and the way they remember your name. Our favourite dive with them often involves the volcanic reef formations around the local sites, where you can drift past barracuda schools and spot the resident angel sharks tucked into sandy patches. The water here, especially outside of winter, is surprisingly clear, a cool 20 degrees Celsius, and often calm enough for a relaxed exploration. Just remember to pack a rash guard for surface intervals, the Canarian sun is no joke.
