Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Comfort, safety and more than fair prices. When diving with Donna and Sean you are in best hands including variety of rentable equipment. You will get their full attention and hand whenever needed. I have been diving around the world for the last 15 years. Nevertheless, coming back to The Dive Shop once a year is a must for me.
PS. Guitarfishes, groupers and octopuses are frequent buddies on my dives with Sean and Donna.

Not long back from a holiday to Lanzarote which incorporated 3 days diving with the Lanzarote Dive shop. Diving was booked while still in the UK on the website and while booked several months in advance was kept fully informed on timings etc. On my fist day Sean was at my hotel early and with the equipment I required.
After checking certifications, completing paperwork and kitting we had 2 good dives with no rushing about and still returned back to my hotel before lunchtime so still plenty of the day left to enjoy the island. This added advantage was Sean took my kit and ensured it was washed and ready for days 2 & 3.
Days 2 and 3 followed same format with Sean always being at hotel well before the agreed time, dives discussed and agreed and after diving Sean taking kit away to wash and being returned to hotel circa 12:00hrs so always plenty to be with family.
Would have no hesitation in recommending The Lanzarote Dive Shop for all your sub aqua needs if you want a friendly and knowledgeable team.

Did the Padi Open water course with my Girlfriend.
Emma the instructor was superb. She was very knowledgeable and put you at ease. She was very patient and explained everything until it was understood.
As the course was private, it was just the two of us and the instructor, giving us more time for the skills to absorb.
Had 2 more dives with them after passing and will be back.

My second experience with the Dive Shop Lanzarote. Completed my Advanced in April with Emma and was so impressed with her teaching and the quality of the customer service given by her and Sean, that i decided to come back to complete my rescue course.
Emma went out of her way to ensure i had the opportunity to learn as much as possible in a fun way. A huge thank you to Mattea for helping with my course also.
As well as the rescue course i completed 26 fun dives with Emma, Sean and Mattea. The dive sites in Lanzarote are spectacular and the marine life varied. The instructors are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I honestly couldn’t have had a better experience and am certain i will be back!
Thank you Dive Shop Lanzarote!!

So last year I did my Rescue Diver course with the Dive Shop Lanzarote and just recently in May/June I completed my Divemaster. Sean Emma and Donna are so experienced and so determined, to give you the best experience whether your a beginner, a certified diver or advancing your certification .
Their attention to details and all the nuances of scuba diving only comes from a policy of Having the best experience in the safest possible way . I sincerely recommend The Dive Shop . Boat dives, wreck dives, shore dives, deep dives, courses - they have something to fit every diver, at every level . And trust me the dive sites are fantastic .
I plan to return next summer and hopefully do my DSD Leader with them 🙏🏻.

Can‘t speak highly enough about Sean and Emma. Sean made it so easy to organise everything and Emma took me as a complete newbie through my PADI open water. Totally professional, Emma drilled in the essentials and I felt full confidence and totally safe throughout. Such a fabulous location to start diving too. There was so much to see right from the start. This old dog now has a new trick (I wasn’t the youngest client so can evidence it’s never too late to start) and am well and truly bitten by the bug. There’s e-learning to get through to do this course so give yourself time to get through it before you go - it’s all useful safety stuff though so well worth it. Thanks so much, both. John

Sean was fantastic to organise with, as were Emma and Mike to dive with. So good in fact that we had to go back for more while on holiday!
Emma is an incredible instructor and Mike was also really knowledgable and helpful. We had a group of non-experienced divers who tried Intro to Diving and one experienced diver for a refresher course.
The team were fantastic from start to finish and I can’t wait until my next visit to go again! No need for beginners to be nervous about diving when you’re in such good hands. Lanzarote diving visibility was spectacular and we seen so much fantastic marine life.
Thank you to all the team at The Dive Shop Lanzarote for some unforgettable experiences from some very impressed customers!!
Would highly recommend 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely superb! 👌
Did my PADI advanced with Emma (as well as some fun dives). Felt in good hands at all times. Emma went out of her way to help me grow as a diver and give me opportunities to try new things. She was excellent at spotting aquatic life and giving me the best experience possible on the dives.
Communication with the shop was great. Gear was in good condition.
I felt so comfortable with the team i’ve booked my 8 year old in to do her Bubblemaker.
I very much hope to be back. Thanks to all!

Whether you’re a complete novice or a veteran diver with years of experience,everyone is catered for at the dive shop. Well organised, good equipment regularly serviced if you need it and above all a fantastic staff. Very professional team who look after us all and of course plenty of smiles and laughter in between dives . So if you’re coming to the island this summer. Log in to the web site, see what suits you and send the team an E mail. I highly recommend this dive centre whatever level you are at

Many thanks , Wilson McCormick.

Hello there, Lovely to hear from you. We offer daily beginner programmes for all ages 10plus. Our classes are under private instruction. We conduct all classes at Playa Chica 10 minutes away from the center, shore diving at its best and very easy for our beginner programme. We enter in waist height water and practice breathing from here we slowly exit the bay still in shallow water to practice some very easy skills then its off for the fun part, your first open water dive. Your dive time is 60 minutes to a max depth of 5m. The water is beautiful in October, nice and warm with tons of fish to see from Octopus, Barracuda, schooling damzels, seahorse and the list goes on, you will not be dissapointed. The cost when you pre-book is only 54,00 p/p, and includes everything. To book or to answer any further questions contact us furher. Kindest Regards Donna and Team
