While Playa Blanca was once a small fishing village, it has turned into a very <strong>lively and popular holiday destination<\/strong>. It is located in the <strong>south of Lanzarote<\/strong>, the easternmost island of the archipelago, and is characterized by its long seaside promenade from which you can see parts of the islands and even the neighbouring island Fuerteventura.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore the aquatic world of Playa Blanca with our local providers and choose between a <strong>wide range of offers<\/strong>: trial dives, diving courses for all levels of experience or even guided dives. As to the question of where the diving will take place, it would be more simple to tell you where it doesn\u2019t! There are <strong>over 30 diving spots<\/strong> around Playa Blanca, amongst which the two most popular ones: the Flamingo Wall and the famous Museo Atl\u00e1ntico.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The so-called <strong>Flamingo Wall<\/strong> is sometimes described as an \u201cunderwater aquarium\u201d due to its <strong>diversity in fauna and flora<\/strong>. It starts right after the two breakwaters of the Flamingo Beach and goes as deep as 20 metres. The area is home to a variety of fish species. You\u2019ll be able to see barracuda and breams, watch tunas and mackerels hunting, and even observe the endangered angel shark. When taking a closer look, you\u2019ll also be able to see how the Flamingo Wall was shaped by lava.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Words simply do not do the world-famous <strong>Museo Atl\u00e1ntico<\/strong> justice. It is the <strong>only underwater museum in Europe<\/strong> and it depicts over 300 sculptures of humans. If that isn\u2019t impressive enough, then wait to find out why it was built: all sculptures are part of a project aiming to <strong>bring back marine biodiversity<\/strong> and to <strong>create a vast artificial reef<\/strong>. In fact, the human statues are all made out of concrete that has a neutral pH value, allowing marine life to flourish effortlessly. Now how cool is that?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>School<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><em>Meeting point<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><em>Highlights<\/em><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Non Stop Divers Lanzarote<\/td><td>In their base in Playa Blanca.

It\u2019s a true <strong>party hotspot<\/strong> as the nightlife has a lot to offer: great clubs, bars and live music venues.

You\u2019ll find all offers you can possibly imagine, <strong>from trial dives to advanced PADI diving courses<\/strong> such as wreck or deep diving. Among the highlights of things you\u2019ll see when diving in Playa de las Am\u00e9ricas, there is the <strong>Palm Mar Wall<\/strong>, several shipwrecks, and beautiful beaches such as <strong>Playa Los Cristianos<\/strong>.

Costa Teguise has a good mix of <strong>windy beaches<\/strong>, which mostly attract windsurfers, and <strong>calmer beaches<\/strong>. It is also one of the most popular destinations on Lanzarote, especially with families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from scuba diving in the Canary Islands, there is one similar activity you can try right here in Costa Teguise:<strong> sea trek<\/strong>. For this activity, you\u2019ll be given a big and heavy helmet that will allow you to breathe normally underwater. The great thing about this offer is that it is also<strong> available to physically and\/or mentally handicapped people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Costa Teguise is not too far away from Playa Blanca, you\u2019ll also be able to explore the <strong>Museo Atl\u00e1ntico<\/strong> with local providers. <strong>Playa de Las Coloradas<\/strong> and <strong>Playa Chica<\/strong> however also offer you amazing views and experiences. You\u2019ll most certainly stumble upon smaller creatures like snails, crabs and starfish, and bigger ones such as squids, breams and even tuna. But the animals aren\u2019t the only thing that\u2019ll leave you amazed: old shipwrecks and caves are also waiting to be explored!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><em>School<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><em>Meeting point<\/em><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><em>Highlights<\/em><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Native Diving<\/td><td>At their base in Costa Teguise.<\/td><td><strong>Playa de Las Coloradas<\/strong>,<strong>\u00a0Museo Atl\u00e1ntico<\/strong>, <strong>Playa Chica<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class='checkyeti-cta-button-wrapper'>\r\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkyeti.com\/en\/diving\/spain\/costa-teguise\/scuba-diving-padi-snorkeling\" class='checkyeti-cta-button' target=\"_blank\" title=\"Scuba Diving in Costa Teguise\">Book your scuba diving experience in Costa Teguise<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

If you have the necessary diving certificate, you just might see the <strong>Arona shipwreck<\/strong>, a 97m-long ship that sank north of the island in 1972. <strong>El Cabron<\/strong> is also one of the more popular diving spots around here.
