The Experience

The boat's already moving when you step aboard — your instructor is checking equipment, the water is flat, and you're about to do something you've never done before. Costa Teguise is where most beginners start in Lanzarote because the dive site sits in shallow water, protected from the Atlantic swell. You get picked up from your hotel, driven to the shore, and within an hour you're underwater with a certified instructor who's done this hundreds of times. The safety briefing happens on land first — it's straightforward, not scary — and covers the few basic skills you'll need to stay calm and comfortable below the surface.

Once you're in the water, the dive lasts around 40 minutes and maxes out at 5 meters deep, which means you're never far from air and always in control. Your instructor stays with you the whole time, showing you how to equalize pressure in your ears, how to breathe slowly, and how to move without fighting the water. The fish are there — small ones mostly, curious about the disturbance — and the light filters down in a way that makes everything feel quieter than it is. You're not racing through a checklist; you're learning by doing, with someone watching your every move. The equipment is provided, so you show up with just a swimsuit and a towel.

What makes this different from watching a video is that you're actually down there, and your body learns what your mind couldn't predict. Some people feel weightless and want to stay longer; others realize it's not for them and surface knowing they tried. Either way, you've got a story and a certificate that says you did it. The whole thing — pickup, dive, equipment, insurance — is included in one price, so there's no haggling at the dive shop or wondering what costs extra.

What’s included

Hotel pickup and drop-off, all scuba equipment (tank, wetsuit, mask, fins, regulator), the 40-minute dive with a certified instructor, basic skills introduction, insurance, and all fees and taxes. Bring a swimsuit and towel.

Is this one for you?Right for anyone curious about diving but unsure if they'll like it — the shallow depth and one-on-one instruction mean you learn at your own pace. Plan for a full morning or afternoon out of your schedule; that's what gives the briefing, dive, and return time room to breathe.
