Additional Information
Europe’s lone underwater sculpture museum is Museo Atlántico. We have devised a special program for individuals without scuba diving certification to visit Museo Atlántico. The whole schedule spans 5 hours and is divided into three parts. It initiates with an experimental dive from the shore. In a 20-minute safety session, we impart the key diving theories before the inaugural dive. Under the guidance of one of our instructors, you’ll dive from the shore to a maximum distance of 6 meters. Post this dive, your instructor will teach you some basic diving techniques in the pool. Following a brief intermission, we’ll board the boat heading to Museo Atlántico. The sculptures are situated 14 meters below the surface. As this is your second dive, you have a limit of 12 meters. We will arrange for a private guide to facilitate your dive ensuring you remain at 12 meters where you’ll enjoy an unobstructed view of the magnificent sculptures.
- Participant should wait at least 18 hours before you take a fight after this program . All participants will be required to complete a health questionnaire prior to diving. Some pre-existing medical conditions (eg asthma, heart conditions, etc) may prevent you from diving, please consult your doctor

Special experience. - Extensive explanation and more than enough professional guidance, so you don't have to be tense. You can completely focus on the dive itself. It was also an extensive program with good materials, so definitely worth the money.

Great First Dive! - I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The day was really well designed and struck the perfect balance for my first dive. I felt very reassured by the staff who provided thorough briefings, but I also had a sense of accomplishment from
being able to do a 12-metre dive.

Amazing! - Absolutely fantastic team, I was very nervous to begin with on the first dive and began to panic. I wasn't sure I'd be able to complete the second dive in the Museo Atlántico. However, all the instructors are extremely patient and supportive and were with me every step of the way. I was then able to complete the Museo Atlántico tour at a deeper depth without a hitch. I will definitely be back! I honestly cannot recommend them enough! Very informative, brilliant teachers & most importantly, they create a very supportive, safe environment to learn & develop.

Fantastic - Absolutely outstanding staff. Very professional. 1 thing I would suggest is someone with a basket so customers can wear sliders or flip-flops to walk to the water. All in all a fantastic day.

Memorable experience! - On the 7th of August we went for the Museo tour in Lanzarote. For me it was the second time for an ocean dive but the last time was long ago. For my mate it was the first time so we took the beginners course.
We were welcomed at 10 and had a training for about 30 minutes at the shore. All the info was given clear and to reassure everyone. After the training we went with 2 ribs to the museo and it was really nice to see everything.
During the dive there were 4 instructors for the whole group of 10 people so it was very save to do. We have seen all the statues and even saw an octopus.
For us it was a life time experience.
In my opinion it is something you have to do during the stay in Lanzarote.
Many thanks to the cool and kind instructors. All the best!

Excellent! - Fantastic diving experience for two completely inexperienced divers.
Our instructor Stefan was incredible, a great teacher and guide who put us completely at ease - felt very safe under his guidance.
Picked up by bus in costa teguise.
Lengthy but necessary introduction, followed by an initial dive to explore the sea bed and reefs, followed by a trip out to dive on the museo atlantico after lunch.
Then a couple of hours to relax by the sea before being dropped back by bus.
An excellent introduction to diving and great value for money - would definitely recommend doing the full day!
Thank you Stefan!
