We offer programs to suit all experience levels, from the absolute beginner – Discover Scuba Diving – DSD – to guided dives and diving courses for qualified divers of all levels.

All you need is a basic level of swimming confidence and fitness and we can get you started.

The adventure can start as young as ten and we have equipment to suit all shapes and sizes.

Keep in mind, scuba diving is a sport and does require a basic level of swimming confidence and fitness. The equipment can seem a little heavy, but here at Daivoon there is always a helping hand nearby.

Yes. Daivoon offers guided dives only. All our guides are professional and friendly, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on all the cool things that they can show you (sea horses, cleaner shrimp, morays, angel sharks and rays to name but a few).

We have divesites to suit everyone’s tastes, shallow reefs, wrecks, walls, caves and abundant wildlife. There are loads of animals like Angel Sharks, Rays, Sea Horses, Giant Groupers, Morays and Nudibranchs among other things.

We usually try to split the groups by their experience/interests e.g. a group for try outs, photographers, deep, wreck etc.

We have dive sites to suit everyone’s tastes, shallow reefs, wrecks, walls and caves. North to south and all around the island.
For a sample of the dive sites on offer, check out our site descriptions here.

We usually start from the shore in chest deep water and dive down to a max. of 40m, according to your experience/qualification level. We are lucky here in Lanzarote with the underwater topography, in that normally within 50m or less from the shore we can reach depths of 20m with the bottom of the reef wall at 30+.

We offer both shore diving and boat diving. Most of the dive sites are easily accessible from the shore.

Our boat dives include the Harbour Wall Wrecks and the Wrecks at Punta Tinosa along with the many dive sites parallel to Grand Playa all from Puerto del Carmen. The Museo Atlantico in Playa Blanca is also a boat dive.

You should have 12-24h between your last dive and your flight home depending on the number and depth profiles of the dives you made throughout your holiday. Typically we recommend a full days rest before flying for anything over 12m. Better safe than sorry, so don’t risk missing out, get your diving booked for the early part of your holiday, and leave the last day for relaxing.

We offer a pickup and return service from all Hotels in Costa Teguise and Arrecife. This is included in the price and doesn´t cost you anything extra.

Yes, absolutely fine. Our guides will do their best to point out things of interest.

The camera however must remain your responsibility at all times, our team can’t take responsibility for closing or cleaning etc.

If you are ever worried about taking your own camera on a particular dive, just ask one of our team to take a Daivoon camera, that way you can be in the photos too! 

The artist Jason deCaires Tayor created this underwater installation, which was first opened March 2016. The structures create a huge artificial reef made up of a some 300 pH neutral cement sculptures which encourage a wide variety of marine growth and attract huge shoals of fish.

The museum lies at about 12m and so is accessible to all diving grades. This installation is the first of its kind in Europe and we are very proud that its home is here on Lanzarote.  

Yes, we do! This is a truly magical trip to Playa Blanca to experience the wonder of this underwater art installation.

The trip carries a surcharge of €45 to cover the boat fees. The surcharge is usually taken as a deposit and is non-refundable since we book the boat with a separate business.

It is 45€ extra and is usually taken as a deposit which is non-refundable since we book the boat with a separate business.

Yes. You will need to pay a non refundable deposit to cover the costs of the online materials (typically 120€). Send us an e-mail and we will send you all the information you need.

You certainly can. Just send us a mail with information about the training organisation (SSI, PADI, SUB), what you have already completed (theory, confined dives, open water dives etc.) and we will send you a price together with any additional information you need.

We try to keep our group sizes as small as possible: max. 3 divers per instructor for beginner groups and up to max. 6 divers per instructor for advanced groups.

This is not only important for us from a safety aspect, but also ensures the guide can point out the many interesting species to each member of the group and to be able to take our time on the dive and not have to rush.

The group sizes generally depend on experience level of divers,  weather conditions and divesite choices.

Typically, Lanzarote boasts year-round underwater visibility of up to 20m.

Obviously local conditions can vary with the weather, but the centre staff are always on hand for any advice.

The tidal range in Lanzarote is about 2.5m.

Our divesite choices take into account the effect of tides on exit and entrance points as appropriate.

We don´t usually have strong currents, but the tides can cause some strong movement underwater.

Our guides always take local currents into consideration, they are not always quite so easy to predict, but there is always a plan B, should conditions change during a dive.

Sea temperatures vary from 18°C towards the end of winter to 25°C towards the end of summer.

Yes. A Diving Insurance is a legal requirement in Spain. If you arrange your own, you must provide us with proof before diving (please bring policy number and period of cover).

We can arrange insurance packages for you through IDASSURE (daily or weekly) which is a DAN affiliate. The insurance prices can be found here on our web site.

BSAC insurance is great for UK diving, but when diving abroad you will need to take out extra diving insurance unless your holiday insurance explicitly covers you.

The BSAC Insurance only provides Third Party cover, it does not cover you personally for diving problems. 

Some do – some don´t. But it is always worth checking.

No, it is not necessary to have your own insurance for Try-out dives, Discover Scuba dives, Basic Diver courses or Open Water Diver courses. The centre will cover you for those courses. Only qualified divers need to have their own insurance.

The insurance needs to cover diving related injuries, search & recovery, transport, as well as all necessary treatments (e.g. hyperbaric chamber).

Spanish law requires anyone participating in diving activities to provide a valid, diving medical questionnaire.

This new medical questionnaire allows you to self certify your fitness to dive without visiting a doctor, providing none of the precluding conditions apply.

Please read and follow the instructions carefully.

You do not need a medical signed by a physician to partake in our Discover Scuba Diving / Basic diver programs. But you need to fill in a medical questionnaire. If you can successfully complete this self-declaration form – which means you don´t have any medical problems – you are good to go.

If however you are suffering from a medical condition, please double check with a physician first or ask the centre for advice.

You can arrange your own before you travel, or we can arrange an appointment with a local Doctor here in Costa Teguise.

Our diving buddy Juan, who happens to be a hyperbaric physician, kindly offers medicals in the centre for 59€, including ECG & Spirometry.  

Yes: Download document

If you have any health problems, you will need to have a medical statement of a physician to prove you are fit for diving.

Especially if heart, lungs, ears or sinuses are involved. As long as you can prove that a physician has signed you off as fit to dive, we are happy to take you with us.

You can get an examination for diving on the island too.

It is always a good idea to pre-book your diving, especially at busy times (school holidays), or if you want to dive on a specific date.

Alternatively, just pop into the centre once you arrive, we will always do our best to fit you in.

Just drop us an email, give us a call, send us a message via whats app or use the contact form on the website. Find all details here. 

For most diving courses/trips you don´t need to pay a deposit before you arrive in the centre.

Once you are in the centre and filled out the paperwork, we may ask for 40€ deposit per person.

If you want to start the online training at home, we need to ask for a 120€ deposit before you arrive.

You can pay in cash, by card (credit or debit card) or by bank transfer (if by transfer, we need to see the conformation notice or confirm transfer before you leave the island – transfers can take up to 3 working days).

You can make an online transfer through your bank, use pay pal or pay per telefone using your credit card. We will send the necessary details during the booking process.

We accept the most common credit and debit cards, like Visa, Mastercard, etc. We DO NOT accept American Express or Diners Club.

Yes. Our prices included taxes.

We have a number of dive packages to suit all your needs, from that very first steps into the water right up to experienced divers and those wishing to extend their training with speciality courses.

It is 45€ extra and is usually taken as a deposit which is non-refundable since we need to hire the boat with a seperate business.

That depends on the individual circumstances.

We don´t charge if you cancel 24h in advance, however late notice cancellations need to cover expenses.

We always offer to change the date if you become sick unexpectedly.

You will need to pay the boat/museum reservation fees or for a diving course, any materials ordered on your behalf. Usually this is a €26 cancelation fee for general boat diving, €45 for the Museo Atlantico trip and  149€ for diving course materials.

If you cancel 24h in advance you won´t pay for the dives.

We have all the equipment you need right here in the centre.

Of course if you prefer to bring your own gear that is absolutely fine, check out our diving packages here for prices with and without equipment.

Yes, we do. We have a large range of suits, from Kids sizes up to XXXXL and all the other equipment to suit (BCD’s, boots etc).

We have a huge range of tanks available for renatl, including 7L (steel & alu) 10L (steel) 80s (alu 11.1L) 12L (steel, short & tall) and 15L (steel), aswell as various Twinsets, Stages and Sidemounttanks!

The Discover Scuba Diving, Basic Diver, Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver courses include full equipment as part of the price.

For other courses you can take advantage of our equipment rental packages or bring your own. You can check out our equipment rental packages here.

We have several lamps and computers for rent, but during busy times it is obviously first come first served unless you make a prior reservation.

We no longer rent out cameras but on request your guide will be happy to take one of the centre cameras to take some pictures of your dive.  That way you get to be in the photos too! 

For 25€ our guides will take about 50 pictures of your dives. You will get all of them via download link. 

We have washing and drying facilities in the centre for personal dive equipment.

Lanzarote enjoys year-round good weather and is generally subject to a north easterly wind, which can sometimes preclude dive sites in the north. The island has many dive sites sheltered from this north easterly wind. Finding somewhere to dive is usually not a problem.

The wettest months are the winter months, but even if it rains, it usually stops after 30min and clears up again. Really bad days are very rare.

August is the hottest month in Lanzarote with an average daytime temperature of 29°C (85°F) with the coldest average temperature in January at 20°C (68°F).

July/August are our hottest months, but we usually have a cooling north easterly which keeps things nice and comfortable.
