Alisios Sub Lanzarote

Located in Puerto del Carmen, Alisios Sub Lanzarote has been operating since 2012. The centre was founded by a group of local divers dedicated to sharing the specific marine secrets of the island while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental preservation.

The centre's location is ideal for those staying in the area, situated only a few metres from the dive sites of Playa Chica. Whether you are looking for daily boat trips or shore-based excursions, the team provides access to the best underwater environments Lanzarote has to offer.

The team consists of five professional instructors, all of whom are locals. This provides a distinct advantage for divers wanting to understand the specific topography and seasonal patterns of the Lanzarote coastline.

Safety and competence are the core pillars of their teaching philosophy. The centre is a PADI affiliated facility, ensuring that all training and guided dives meet international standards for diver safety and environmental stewardship.

Alisios Sub offers a comprehensive range of PADI courses for every stage of your diving career. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver course, while those looking to progress can undertake the Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver, and Divemaster programmes.

Specialised training is also available, including the PADI Nitrox course to help you manage nitrogen loading more effectively. For those interested in non-scuba water activities, they also offer Snorkel instruction.

The centre is fully equipped for shore and boat diving, offering complete equipment hire using high-quality brands such as Aqualung and Apeks. You will find a dedicated area for washing and drying your kit, alongside changing rooms and showers.

For those looking to extend their bottom time or dive more efficiently, Nitrox is available on-site. The facilities also include a reception, a waiting area with Wi-Fi, a multimedia room for theory work, and a workshop for equipment maintenance.

The waters around Lanzarote are home to a diverse range of species. You can often observe larger pelagics and schooling fish, including Amberjack (Seriola), Tuna (Thunnus), and various bonito, often moving through sardine schools.

On the reef and rocky structures, look for larger residents such as Grouper (Epinephelus), various species of Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), and Rays (Batoidea). You may also encounter the Southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) or the Angelshark (Squatina) resting on the seabed.

For those interested in macro life, the area offers plenty of interest, from Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani) to Seahorse (Hippocampus kuda). Keep a close eye on the crevices for Cuttlefish (Sepiidae), flamboyant cuttlefish, and various species of Shrimp (Caridea).

The marine landscape is further enriched by a variety of fixed life, including different types of Sponge (Porifera) and Sea anemone (Actiniaria), which provide essential habitats for the local fauna.
