If you’re curious about trying scuba but aren’t ready to commit to a full certification, this private Try Dive in Lanzarote might be just what you need. It’s a brief, well-organized session designed to give newcomers a safe, enjoyable glimpse into what it’s like to breathe underwater and explore the ocean. Based on lots of positive feedback, it seems to strike a great balance between safety, fun, and accessibility.
What I appreciate about this experience is how it keeps things intimate and personal—limiting groups to just eight people, which allows the instructor to give thorough guidance without feeling rushed. Plus, you don’t have to worry about organizing your own gear, since everything is provided. On the downside, it’s a short session, so if you’re looking for a deeper dive or a more comprehensive course, this isn’t the one. Still, it’s perfect for those who want a quick, stress-free intro to the underwater world.
This experience is especially suited for beginners, anyone with a sense of adventure, or travelers who want to see Lanzarote’s underwater beauty without long commitments. If you’re visiting Puerto del Carmen and looking for a memorable, manageable first-water experience, this could be a fantastic choice.
Key Points:
- Small group size ensures personalized attention and safety
- All equipment provided, so no need to worry about gear
- Stunning underwater scenery in Puerto del Carmen
- Clear safety explanations to make beginners comfortable
- Flexible cancellation policy with free cancellation up to 24 hours before

Introduction to the Try Dive Experience

Trying scuba for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking, but that’s part of the adventure. This private Try Dive in Lanzarote promises a gentle, friendly introduction that’s suitable even if you’ve never been underwater before. You’ll get a taste of what it’s like to breathe through a regulator and explore the marine environment, all under the careful watch of experienced instructors.
Two things I really like about this experience are the small, intimate group setting and the inclusive equipment. It’s reassuring to know you’re not just a number in a large crowd, especially when trying something as new as scuba. Plus, the included safety briefing helps you feel prepared, which can make all the difference in turning nervousness into excitement.
The only possible consideration is that you’re only getting around two hours of activity, so if you’re craving a longer underwater adventure or deeper exploration, you might find this session a bit brief. But for most, it’s enough to spark an interest and get a real sense of underwater life.
This tour is best suited for curious travelers, first-timers, or those wanting a quick, safe introduction to scuba diving during a trip to Lanzarote.
