Lanzarote Sea Trek Helmet Dive & Guide in Costa Teguise

Summary

Helmet Diving Experience in Lanzarote’s Costa Teguise Waters

Get ready to walk beneath the waves in Lanzarote with a guided Sea Trek helmet dive—no swimming required. You’ll breathe easy while exploring marine life up close alongside local guides. Includes all equipment and insurance for peace of mind—a surreal underwater adventure you’ll remember every time you hit the beach.

What’s the experience like?

So there I was, standing on the sand at Costa Teguise, clutching this big helmet that looked like something out of an old sci-fi movie. The sun was already hot, but you could still smell the salt and sunscreen in the air—classic Lanzarote morning. Our guide, Marta, grinned and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll breathe just like normal.” Honestly, I didn’t expect to feel nervous (I mean, it’s only 3 meters down), but my heart was thumping as she explained how the Sea Trek system works.

The moment they lowered the helmet onto my shoulders—cold metal against my skin—I could hear my own breathing echo inside. We shuffled into the water one by one, holding onto each other’s arms like awkward astronauts. Suddenly everything went quiet except for this soft bubbling sound and Marta’s voice crackling through her headset: “Look left!” A silvery fish darted past my faceplate; I swear it winked at me. The light down there is strange—sort of blue and dreamy—and you get this weird zero gravity feeling, like you’re floating on the moon but surrounded by fish instead of stars.

I kept thinking about how wild it was that you don’t even need to swim for this private sea trek diving experience in Lanzarote. There were kids as young as eight with us (one little girl kept waving at a crab), and even someone wearing glasses under their helmet. Half an hour underwater felt both long and short; time gets slippery when you’re distracted by waving seaweed and tiny creatures poking out from rocks.

Back on shore, peeling off that helmet felt like waking up from a dream—hair damp, legs wobbly, but grinning like an idiot. Marta handed out towels and we all swapped stories about what we’d seen (“Did anyone else spot that purple starfish?”). It’s funny: I booked this because I wanted something different from regular snorkeling tours in Costa Teguise, but I left with this weird sense of calm—and a head full of blue light and bubbles I still think about whenever I smell saltwater.
