Diving in Puerto del Carmen
Lanzarote
A Gateway to the Island’s Underwater Heritage
Puerto del Carmen is considered the diving capital of Lanzarote — and for good reason.
With deep walls, underwater caves and volcanic formations just minutes away, it offers one of the most diverse and exciting underwater environments in the Canary Islands.
Whether you’re just getting started or already have plenty of experience, unforgettable dives await you here.
What really makes diving in Puerto del Carmen stand out is the easy access to exceptional dive sites, located just a few minutes from the shore or a short boat ride away.
The coastline quickly drops into the depths of the Atlantic, creating a spectacular underwater landscape shaped by ancient lava flows and volcanic activity. This natural structure provides ideal conditions for a rich and diverse marine life.
In Puerto del Carmen, you’ll find excellent diving conditions all year round, with warm water, minimal current and outstanding visibility.
This allows you to enjoy safe, high-quality dives while exploring a wide range of underwater environments — from rocky walls and overhangs to sandy bottoms and fascinating volcanic formations.
Lanzarote’s strong diving culture is especially noticeable here. Puerto del Carmen is home to some of the island’s most established dive centres, instructors and facilities. It’s not just a place to dive — it’s a place to truly connect with the ocean and the island’s deep relationship with it.
If you’re looking to combine natural beauty, geological history and abundant marine life, Puerto del Carmen offers a truly outstanding diving experience.

EXCELLENT Based on 146 reviews Posted on Oliver WinklerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich hatte die letzten 2 Wochen sehr viel Spaß und super Tauchgänge und würde sehr gut betreut. Besonderen Dank an Lola und Georg. Bis zum nächsten Mal.Posted on michael millerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb experience. Attended as 2 complete beginners, never dived before. Booked the basic introductory session in the marina and a 2nd dive off the coast. Georg our instructor was fantastic, very patient and calm. Explained everything very clearly and was amazing underwater when I had trouble equalising. I thought my dive was over but he was able to help me and patiently, slowly, managed to get me comfortably down to 12m. Saw loads of fish, cuttlefish and an Angel shark. Can’t recommend Calero Diving highly enough. I attended with my 14 year old daughter who also had an amazing time. Thank you!Posted on Charlie WhelanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was so fun the instructor Georg was very kind and explained everything so that I would understand he even recorded some of the best parts of our dive and they know where the best parts are overall I think it definitely deserves a five star ratingPosted on J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Georg and his team were excellent - reassuringly comprehensive in their instruction and sympathetic to our beginners’ nerves - highly recommended!Posted on Annabel ConnahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic team! I had a great time doing my refresher with Georg followed by some fun dives. Everyone was super friendly, greeting us with hot tea everyday when we came back from chilly dives. The diving was great, lots of wildlife and particularly enjoyed seeing the unique volcanic topography. I would highly recommend this dive centre, they uphold a high standard of safety which I appreciated. Hopefully I will be able to return soon!Posted on Sim J (Sim)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well organised dive centre offering everything from intros to tech. I did four dives with kit, dives ran from a well kept RHIB, and the kit I hired was decent regs, what looked like very new aqualung BCD’s with integrated weights and pretty new 7mm wetsuits. Would definitely dive with them again if I was out here.Posted on Juan LuisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. todo muy bien mucha profesionalidad sin perder simplicidad y simpatíaPosted on GineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Una gran experiencia. Tuvimos a Loli de guía y fue super atenta con nosotros, nos sentimos muy seguros en todo momento y es muy simpática. Si volvemos a Lanzarote repetiremos en este centro.Posted on Peder EngelsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent dive centre that combines professionalism with a relaxed atmosphere! They were both thorough with safety and provided a fun divePosted on JudgedRedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great staff, super professional and knowledgeable about dive sites. Boat operations were a delight, with short transit times and comfortable surface intervals. I liked the mix between boat and shore dives and the guides were a happy, chatty and friendly bunch.
