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 105 reviews Posted on Maximilian Rojas LaraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super recomendable Uno de los mejores centros que he visto. Martina super instructora !!!Posted on Y. BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Genial bautismo y primera inmersión con Fred y el capitán Andrés! Todo el staff muy agradable, familiar y divertido, súper recomendable.Posted on David SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been diving with Chris and his team at Rubicon in Playa Blanca for a number of years but this was my first time using the centre in Calero. The centre itself is immaculate. As a person of more advanced years boat diving is my preference and the golf buggy taking gear down to, and back from the boat, was great. The dives themselves were great with plenty of life and variety. Most of the dives I did were lead by Andreas who did a great job including dealing with a minor problem during a dive with one of the divers. I will be back.Posted on Andy ValenteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to do some diving from Puerto Calero recently, and felt that the Calero Diving team were welcoming, knowledgeable and professional, with a good attitude to safety. The kit I hired was top quality and well maintained. The dive centre was bright, spacious, and fully equipped. The quay was just a short walk away (no clambering into vehicles), where a good boat and skipper were ready to take us to the dive sites. The boat had a ladder for easier exit. Andres, my dive guide was enthusiastic, knew his stuff, and really looked after me. All in all, a fantastic, friendly dive team that will take care of you and happily show you their part of the sea. Highly recommended.Posted on Jose smirtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

L’équipe est très sympa et toujours à l’écoute 👌. Comme l’année précédente… Nous reviendrons l’année prochaine. Jmb.Posted on elizabethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Calero Diving! I started with a refresher session with Isa, followed by two boat dives the next day with Andrés. Both instructors were outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and highly professional. The dives were fantastic; we spotted a great variety of marine life, including seahorses, rays, moray eels, and many unique fish. The dive center itself is beautiful—modern, well-maintained, and equipped with high-quality gear. I highly recommend Calero Diving and will definitely be returning here on my next trip to Fuerteventura.Posted on Pawel WozniakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been diving with them for years. This is the best technical & recreational DC in Canaries, and probably in Spain. Never failed me. Primary focus is safety and wellbeing of customers. Great amenities, a lot of space and well maintained equipment. Training courses available at any level. You can fill any gas you need if you are certified. Great location too. I did all my technical ccr couses there, my teenaged daughter started diving with Calero Diving few years ago. Clear 5* recommendation!😊Posted on Steven KirkmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and his team are all extremely professional, friendly and accommodating for all types of diver. I’ve dived with Chris many times over the years and his dive centre has everything a diver could ask for from basic scuba to CCR Expedition Trimix allowing divers to challenge themselves no matter their qualification. If in Lanzarote this is the dive to come to.
