Try Diving in Lanzarote: Experience the underwater world for the first time

Have you always dreamed of breathing underwater? With our Try Dive, you can discover the fascinating underwater world of Lanzarote without any previous experience.

Your First Dive – Safe and Personally Guided

Personal Guidance from an Experienced Diving Instructor

At Aquanautic, you’ll be accompanied by an experienced diving instructor throughout your first diving experience. We take the time to explain everything clearly, let you progress at your own pace and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Your safety and well-being are always our highest priority.

No Previous Experience Needed

Our Try Dive is designed specifically for people who have never been scuba diving before. You don’t need a diving certification or any previous knowledge – just a desire to discover what it feels like to breathe and explore underwater.

An Experience You Won’t Forget

Breathing underwater for the first time is a truly unique feeling. During your first dive, you’ll discover Lanzarote’s underwater world and experience for yourself what makes scuba diving so fascinating.

What to Expect on Your Try Dive

Welcome and Preparation

We’ll start by getting to know each other and preparing your diving equipment. We take our time so that you feel comfortable and relaxed from the very beginning.

Learn the Basics

Before entering the water, you’ll receive a clear and easy-to-understand introduction. We’ll explain how your equipment works, how to breathe through the regulator, how to equalise your ears and how to use the most important underwater hand signals.

Let’s Get in the Water

We’ll begin in shallow water, where you can get used to the equipment and experience breathing underwater for the first time. Your instructor will guide you through a few simple exercises and give you all the time you need to feel comfortable. Once you’re ready, your first real dive can begin.

Explore the Underwater World

Now for the best part. Together with your instructor, you’ll descend and discover Lanzarote’s fascinating underwater world, with its marine life, volcanic rock formations and typically crystal-clear water.

Why Try Scuba Diving in Lanzarote?

Lanzarote offers excellent conditions for learning to dive. Clear water, comfortable water temperatures and a diverse marine environment make the island a fantastic place to experience scuba diving for the first time.

We conduct our Try Dives at Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen. Its sheltered waters and easy entry make it ideal for beginners, while the variety of marine life means there is plenty to discover even at shallow depths.

See What Our Guests Have to Say

The best way to find out what a first dive with us is really like is to hear from people who have already experienced it. Take a look at our reviews and discover why our personal approach, experienced instructors and commitment to safety have made the first dive such a special experience for so many of our guests.

Nous avons fait notre baptême de plongée aujourd'hui au centre nautique de Lanzarote. Nico notre moniteur est à l'écoute et a sûr nous mettre à l'aise afin d'appréhender un peu moins cette activité. Nous sommes reconnaissantes pour les superbes souvenirs que nous aura laissé cette matinée de plongée. Merci à toute l'équipe ! 🐠

Brilliant diving school. Alex took my lads on a try dive session and they both loved it. Very professional and friendly with excellent gear and took time to make sure they were happy every step of the way. They picked it up very quickly thanks to Alex who is a geat teacher (and they now both want to get their full open water tickets!) Would recommend to anyone wanting to try diving or who dives already as they are very encouraging, helpful and knowledgeable diving instructors. We will be back when we can!

Great scuba diving club with amazing instructors and guides. I just wanted to do a one-day refresher session, but I ended up happily completing my Advanced Open Water certification and having back my passion for diving thanks to Alex and Nico. They are two very kind, trustworthy, friendly, and encouraging instructors who make you feel safe and comfortable. I also loved the dive center—it’s very well organized and clean. Plus, Nitrox is available at the same price as air! Thank you, guys, for your passion and care. I hope to come back and dive again soon!

Meine Söhne (12 + 18) haben uns spontan für eine (erste) Tauchstunde entschieden. Wir drei wurden von 2 sehr netten Tauchlehrern angeleitet - sehr sympathisch, kompetent, sicher und angenehm. Das Tauchen an sich und die bereitgestellten Bilder waren ebenfalls klasse. Ich kann mir kaum ein besseres Umfeld für einen ersten Tauchversuch vorstellen, ich würde auch 6 Sterne vergeben...

Niko and Alex took me and my girlfriend to a trydive as it was our fist time and we couldn’t have been more excited; we saw so many different species of fish including sea horses and an octopus, we got go pro footage of us in the water and learned everything we needed to know to dive at about 10 metres. All the staff were very friendly and made us very comfortable from the get go, we’ll definitely be back in the future :-)
