What to Expect from This Lanzarote Dive Experience

TRY SCUBA - Experience for beginners - What to Expect from This Lanzarote Dive Experience

When you book this TRY SCUBA session, you’re signing up for a well-organized introduction to the underwater world. It begins with a 25-minute theoretical briefing. During this time, your instructor covers the basics of diving, safety procedures, and what marine life you might see. This part is crucial—it sets the foundation so that when you hit the water, you’re confident and well-prepared.

After the briefing, you’ll move to the beach for the practical part. Here, you’ll have a surface contact dive—a chance to get comfortable with your equipment and practice the safety exercises. This step is particularly valuable for first-timers, as it helps you familiarize yourself with the gear in a controlled environment before starting the actual dive.

Once you’re feeling confident, the real fun begins. With the instructor close by, you’ll start your dive with one instructor for every two participants, ensuring safety and personalized guidance. During the dive, you’ll explore the seabed, where you’ll have the chance to see marine life and enjoy the unique underwater scenery Lanzarote has to offer.

The entire activity lasts approximately two hours, which includes the briefing, equipment prep, contact dive, and the dive itself. Afterward, you’ll be handed videos and souvenir photos—free of charge—to relive your underwater adventure and share your experience with friends and family.
