Company description ISLAND WATERSPORTS is a British owned Dive Centre and Dive Store which has been established in Lanzarote since 1997.
The Dive Store in Puerto del Carmen offers a wide range of quality diving and snorkelling equipment for sale from a variety of leading brand names at competitive prices, and also acts as a booking office for the Dive Centre. At the Dive Store you are also able to hire equipment for snorkelling, body boarding and kayaking.
The Dive Centre is based in the exclusive Puerto Calero Marina from where all our diving excursions depart by boat. As a BSAC School and PADI Dive Centre we offer a comprehensive range of diving courses to suit not only absolute beginners, but also qualified divers wishing to further their diving experience and qualifications. `Try a Dive` sessions are held daily for those wanting to experience scuba diving for the first time, and qualified divers are offered a minimum of 2 boat dives each day.
ISLAND WATERSPORTS is also a RYA Training Centre offering a choice of powerboating courses from Level 1 through to Advanced, ICC tests, and VHF radio courses.
ISLAND WATERSPORTS also provides a service for booking your holiday to Lanzarote - flights, accommodation, combined travel/diving insurance, and car hire as a complete package or as individual items for the single traveller, families and groups.
We offer a wide range of courses from introductory dives for the absolute beginner, internationally recognised BSAC and PADI courses for those starting out, and a variety of more advanced courses for qualified divers wishing to further their diving experience. Our instructors and dive guides are highly qualified and speak English, French, German and Spanish, and are on hand to give advice on your diving requirements.
For the certified diver we offer morning and afternoon guided shore and boat dives, and night dives are available on request. Whilst many of the dive sites can be made as shore dives, we offer a skippered RIB which not only is more comfortable and convenient, but also allows us to visit less accessible dive locations. Our boat is a Valiant 7.5 metre RIB powered by a Volvo Penta 150 h.p. inboard diesel engine, and fully equipped with VHF DSC radio and GPS/Plotter/Sounder. First-aid and oxygen kits are always carried on board. The boat is conveniently berthed just 40 metres from the dive centre.
Our first class facilities in the centre include: changing area with hot showers and toilet, personal equipment storage, and equipment wash and hang area. A full range of top quality diving equipment, in a good selection of sizes, is available for hire if you do not wish to bring your own, including Faber lightweight steel cylinders in 10, 12 and 15 litres with DIN and INT valves, Scubapro regulators fitted with octopus and twin gauge consoles, and Beaver one piece 5mm wetsuits. We also have two compressors which constantly provide good, clean quality air for our divers. A retail shop is provided on the premises offering a wide selection of snorkelling and scuba diving equipment for sale.
Location description: With branches in both Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero Marina, we are conveniently located to serve the visiting diver and holidaymaker. Ample car parking is available, and the marina is also adequately served by taxis and buses. A wide selection of restaurants, bars and shops are to be found in the marina, making it a great location to spend the day, have lunch and browse between dives. Non-diving partners will love it as well! With two top quality hotels on our doorstep (5 Star Hesperia Lanzarote and 4 Star Iberostar Costa Calero), Puerto Calero has become a top holiday resort in it`s own right.
Lanzarote`s volcanic origins have blessed her waters with spectacular formations and structural diversity. From shallow patch reefs to deep water, walls, caverns, overhangs, holes, wrecks and drop-offs, Lanzarote offers interesting diving at all depths and for all diver`s experience level. For wreck diving enthusiasts we offer three different sites where the wrecks are virtually intact and the visibility is good! The majority of the diving takes place off the east and south facing coasts of the island which are protected from the prevailing winds. Tides and currents do not normally present any serious problems to divers and visibility generally ranges between 15 and 30 metres.
Lanzarote offers all year-round diving with seasonal differences in water temperature and surface conditions. Winter months bring cooler water temperatures ranging from 17-21° Centigrade, whereas summer months yield 21-24° Centigrade.
Nature itself ensures a variety of different marine activities and aquatic visitors throughout the year. The marine life is varied from small arrow crabs, octopus and nudibranches, to large groupers, rays, shoals of barracudas and angel sharks. More than 350 different species of fish and 1200 different types of invertebrates have been recorded in the waters of the Canary Islands.
Our Dive Centre boasts access to nearly 30 dive sites including the Marine Park of Fuerteventura and Los Lobos. Most of the dive sites are close into the shore as the waters deepen very quickly. Whilst many of the sites can be made as shore dives, we offer a skippered RIB which not only is more comfortable and convenient, but also allows us to visit less accessible dive locations. (Check out our Dive Site page for more in depth details.)
Qualified divers can join us for morning and/or afternoon guided boat dives from our fully equipped 7.5 metre RIB which is berthed a few metres from the dive centre. Your safety is of the utmost importance to us and our boat is always equipped with Oxygen, First Aid Kit, VHF radio, and GPS. Our experienced crew will take you to the best dive site for the day`s conditions and match your diving ability to the selection. With the variety of diving that is offered, plan at least a few days of diving to enjoy a real sampling of Lanzarote`s diversity.
