The best scuba diving training in Lanzarote.
We chose Scuba Legends to get our PADI Open Water, in preparation for a professional diving trip in the Indian Ocean a month later. We were trained like combat swimmers by Chantal! We couldn't have dreamed of anything better!

Magical dives between an underwater museum and exceptional wildlife
Thank you very much to Igor and his entire team for these two magnificent days of double diving at Playa Blanca and Playa Chica.
We loved every moment: the dives, whether by boat or from the shore, are all equally exciting with so much to discover. To name just a few species observed: sea slugs, tuna, schools of barracuda, angel shark, butterfly ray, Canarian lobster, and even seahorses.
The underwater museum was also very interesting, and we were very well guided beforehand and throughout the visit.
A big thank you also for the perfect care of my girlfriend during her initiation: she felt confident and perfectly supported from start to finish.
Professionalism, pedagogy, and a good atmosphere!
An unforgettable experience that we highly recommend

Merci beaucoup Thib, pour ce superbe commentaire !
Quel plaisir de lire que vous avez autant apprécié ces deux journées de plongée avec Igor et l'équipe. Entre Playa Chica, Playa Blanca et le Musée Atlantique, vous avez effectivement eu la chance de rencontrer une incroyable diversité de vie marine, et voir autant d'espèces différentes en seulement quelques plongées rend l'expérience encore plus spéciale.
Nous sommes également ravis d'apprendre que l'initiation de ta copine s'est déroulée dans les meilleures conditions. Faire découvrir la plongée dans un environnement sûr, détendu et adapté à chacun est quelque chose qui nous tient particulièrement à cœur.
Merci pour votre confiance, votre bonne humeur et d'avoir partagé cette aventure avec nous. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt sous l'eau pour découvrir encore davantage les fonds marins de Lanzarote !

Above expectations :-)
As I went for a double dive with my grandson who just became a PADI diver last autumn, we were accompanied by Chantal for a special dive experience. Our first in the Atlantic! She was ready for us with perfect equipment, having us go a bit before the crowd (other diving companies) arrived. She guided us very friendly and highly professional. It was very enjoyable and I felt in good hands the whole time. Thanks again Chantal!
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing us for your first dives in the Atlantic!
It was a pleasure to dive with you and your grandson and to be part of this special milestone so soon after his certification. I'm very happy to hear that you felt comfortable, well looked after, and that the experience exceeded your expectations.
Getting into the water a little ahead of the crowds, enjoying great conditions, and sharing Lanzarote's underwater world with enthusiastic divers like you is exactly what makes these dives so rewarding for us.
Thank you again for your kind words and trust. We hope to welcome both of you back for many more Atlantic adventures in the future!

5 days diving in Lanzarote
I had a great time diving with Igor and Chantal in Lanzarote. I spent 5 days diving in different dive spots, either from shore or from the boat.
I'm an advanced diver and I could see : the underwater museum, different wrecks, some octopus, stingrays, seahorses, angelote sharks, groupers, nudibranches, and other types of fish :).
We were always diving in very small groups so either just me and the dive instructor or else just with another diver more so it felt very private.
Thank you guys :) I had a good time discovering Lanzarote underwater.
Operator response
Hey Diane,
Thanks a lot for your review — sounds like you really made the most out of those 5 days 🙂
From the underwater museum to wrecks and all the marine life in between… that’s pretty much the full Lanzarote experience. Nice to hear you enjoyed the variety and also appreciated the small group setup.
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re glad you left with some good memories from below and above the surface.

Absolute Legends!
We had an incredible experience with Scuba Legends. Booking was a breeze; we were able to coordinate directly with the manager via WhatsApp to arrange a 4-day, 8-dive package. This included the stunning underwater museum in Playa Blanca, as well as several boat and shore dives around Playa Chica.
The owner, Chantel, was brilliant and highly responsive. Our dive guides were equally fantastic—patient, helpful, and focused on our comfort throughout every dive, and keeping the groups small and personal. They had a real knack for spotting marine life, including Angel sharks, octopuses, eels, pipefish, and even a pregnant seahorse. Most importantly, they practiced respectful diving, ensuring we never disturbed or crowded the animals.
Since we brought our own gear, the team went above and beyond by offering to wash and store it at the shop each night. Having it delivered back dry the next day was a huge help, especially since we had limited space on our hotel balcony. I can’t recommend Scuba Legends enough and will definitely be back!
FYI water temperature is around 18°C most of the year so if bringing own kit I would recommend a 7mm full wetsuit or even a drysuit if you feel the cold and are going beyond 20m.
Operator response
Hey :)
this was such a great review to read – thank you for taking the time to share it!
We are really happy to hear how smoothly everything worked for you and the group from the first message on WhatsApp through to the last dive.
The dive at the underwater museum is always something special, and combining it with the variety we have around Playa Chica and the boat dives really gives a full picture of diving in Lanzarote. Still, there is always more to see ;)
It’s great that you noticed the approach of the team underwater and appreciate it. Seeing angel sharks, a pregnant seahorse and all the other marine life is amazing—but doing it in a calm and respectful way is exactly how we want it to be. I’ll make sure to pass your words on to the guides, they’ll appreciate it.
Regrding the water temperature, this winter it dropped to the minimum of 17/18 degrees celsius, luckily no, or rarely thermoclines! The maximum water temperature in summer/autumn is 24 degrees. 6/7 mm wetsuit with hood is a good recommendation.
You know where to find us when you’re back on the island 😉
Wishing you all the best and thanks for diving with us!!! Regards to the rest!

An amazing scuba diving experience!
An amazing scuba diving experience! Very professional personnel! Also the shores where we were diving was quite interesting to me: we saw lots of different species, in addition small flounders (I'm not sure exactly what they are called). We had two dives in about 10 to 20 meters. I can warmly recommend!
Operator response
Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re really glad you enjoyed the dives and felt well looked after by the team. Lanzarote’s shore dives, especially Playa Chica, can be full of surprises, and it’s great that you got to see such a variety of marine life — those little flounders are always a nice find 😊
We’d be happy to welcome you back in the water anytime.
