Activity description

One of the main attractions of Lanzarote is the world-famous Atlantic Museum with amazing sculptures submerges that you will explore as you scuba dive.

The Atlantic Museum in Marina Rubicon of Playa Blanca, is probably the best location for you find to experience scuba diving for the first time! The thrill of being underwater and witnessing this magical world created by Jason de Caries Taylor is amazing. We offer you the chance of entering this world on their full day at the museum scuba diving experience! 

You'll meet at 9 a.m and you'll meet your instructor who will be with you all day long. Then, he'll go through the diving equipment with you and explain to you how it works and the basic safety procedures.

The next step will be gearing up. You'll put your wetsuit on and head into the water at the bay just next to to the Rubicon Dive Center. Once you get comfortable in the water, you'll go on a short dive around the bay with your instructor guiding you. 

After a break for lunch, you'll experience the highlight of your day, a trip out to the underwater museum. You'll ride on one of the center's boats which will anchor so you can descend along the anchor line down to the parting point of the museum.

All you have to do is relax and enjoy the sights! Your dive will typically last around 40 minutes bringing you back to the exit point so you can safely ascend back to the boat.

Course of events

Starting at 9 AM you meet your instructor for the day. Your instructor will show you your dive equipment and explain to you how it works and basic safety procedures. Once you are familiar with the dive equipment and you have your wetsuit on you will enter the water in the bay area next to the Rubicon Dive Centre. This is a perfect place to enter the water as you can walk in at a pace that you are comfortable with. Once you feel relaxed breathing underwater and are ready to move on you will go with your instructor on a short dive around the bay. Even though this is a shallow dive area it is still populated by many types of fish and it is not uncommon to see rays and Angel sharks in this area.

After lunch comes the highlight of your day, a trip out to the museum. The dive boat leaves from the marina at 3pm for a 10 minute ride to the dive site. Once anchored you will enter the water with your instructor and slowly descend along the anchor line down to the start of the museum tour. At all times your instructor will be with you guiding you and ensuring your safety, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the sights. Your dive will typically last around 40 minutes bringing you back to the exit line so that you can safely ascend back to the boat.

At the end of your day you will be issued with your SSI Basic Diver certification. This will allow you to dive in similar conditions down to 12 meters under the supervision of a dive professional and is valid for 6 months.

The ‘Try Scuba’ session in the morning was the perfect preparation for the main event of the museum tour in the afternoon.

Una actividad muy bien organizada. El monitor nos dio confianza, y a pesar de tener un poco de miedo antes de la actividad, luego de la primera parte nos sentimos confiados y listos para sumergirnos
