Reef exploration offers an opportunity to experience the underwater world of lava reefs, observing a variety of marine life and unique underwater landscapes. Guided by experienced instructors, this session provides an engaging and environmentally conscious way to connect with the marine ecosystem in clear, calm waters.
The session begins at the dive school in Puerto Del Carmen with a comprehensive briefing covering the day's activities and safety procedures. Participants will then take part in a guided pre-freediving stretch routine to prepare the body for the underwater experience. After gearing up in wetsuits and receiving personalised guidance, the group makes a short walk to the nearby ocean launch point.
Once in the water, instructors lead the group through the lava reefs, pointing out diverse marine life including tropical fish and unique lava formations. Attention is given to breathing control, buoyancy, and underwater observation skills while promoting respect for the reef environment. The pace is adapted to the group’s experience level, ensuring everyone enjoys a safe and educational dive.
Sessions take place in the waters just off Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote, near the Jardines del Puerto Shopping Centre where the dive school is based. This area features clear, calm waters ideal for freediving and reef exploration, with accessibility that allows quick ocean entry from the shore. The lava reefs in this region present intricate formations that provide a visually rich underwater landscape.
The dive school itself is located at Calle Roque Nublo 2, Planta 01, Local 01, inside the shopping centre, offering a convenient base for meeting, briefing, and changing before and after sessions. This central location allows easy access for participants staying in the surrounding Tías area or elsewhere in Lanzarote.
Participants should have a basic level of swimming ability and feel comfortable in open water environments. No prior freediving experience is necessary, as instruction is tailored to the group’s abilities. A minimum age of 15 applies, and those under 18 require parental consent.
Good general health is recommended to safely engage in breath-hold diving activities. Individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions should seek medical advice before participating. The session is designed to suit a wide range of fitness levels and ages, with instructors providing continuous support and monitoring for safety.
The instructors maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio to provide attentive, personalised coaching and ensure high safety standards throughout the session. Partnering with a well-known equipment brand ensures participants have access to reliable, regularly updated gear that enhances comfort and performance.
Operating from a convenient location just minutes from the ocean allows quick transitions between briefing and water activities, maximising time spent exploring the reef. The team’s extensive experience with freediving and local marine environments helps create an educational and enjoyable session that respects and protects the underwater ecosystem.
