Excellent visibility, volcanic reefs, and warm water temperatures make diving on our island one of the best options for relaxation and enjoyment of this beautiful sport. Beacuse of it you will see large cliffs near the coast, caves, sunken ships, volcanic tubes, and coral forests. You also may see large marine species such as angel sharks, groupers, or barracudas, and smaller species such as moray eels, conger eels, horse mackerel, and so many more. All this is possible in Lanzarote.

Lanzarote also has numerous diving centers, where you can develop your experience and help you indicate the most beautiful and safe places to dive.

The main four immersion areas of our island are: Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Northwest Coast, and of course, the Chinijo Archipelago, where La Graciosa Island is located. One of the largest marine reserves in Europe where you can find the largest marine biodiversity in the Canary Islands. If you dive, you cannot leave Lanzarote without visiting this area.

SANDOS PAPAGAYO RESORT

Sandos Papagayo in Lanzarote

At our hotel, Sandos Papagayo, you will have the opportunity to spend a family holiday surrounded by nature. And, in addition, discover all of these treasures, starting with the first underwater museum in Europe, the Atlantic Museum, which is located in front of our facilities about 12 to 14 meters deep.

A museum that has been created with impressive sculptures by the artist Jason de Caires Taylor which has recently been made free. This is a place for diving enthusiasts and those who are lovers of defending nature and biodiversity. Although these sculptures in the museum are incredible, they are anchors for the biodiversity of the area. Thanks to the material used to create them, perforated neutral pH concrete. It promotes the grip of the different marine species, generating a very rich space in biodiversity that facilitates reproduction and increases marine biomass.

In addition, the museum is a controlled space, and it allows diving to be non-intrusive and as respectful to the environment as possible. An artificial reef is created in which native marine species are able to inhabit.
