Excursions Lanzarote

When you can visit the beautiful Museo Atlantico right here in the Atlantic waters of Lanzarote, why go to any other place? The Museo Atlantico is a perfect blend of art and nature, where the lifelike, life inspired and eco-friendly sculptures by British artist Jason deCaires Taylor have taken a new role of boosting the marine life from corals to teeming fish colonies, happy to make a new home around the artistic sculptures depicting social and political issues.

It is truly a once in a lifetime experience when you visit the Museo Atlantico. It is equally easy and simple to do so, depending on your experience level. For those who are beginners, Book the Underwater Museum Lanzarote - Beginners, where you just need to take a PADI open water course for 3 days and then you're ready for a dive to the Museo Atlantico. Whereas, if you are an experienced diver, then book the Underwater Museum Lanzarote - Qualified Diver, where you take 2 dives from Playa Blanca, the first to Los Colorados or similar depending on sea conditions.The second dive is to the Lanzarote Underwater Museum.

Before you unravel the beauty of the underwater museum, LanzaroteON recommends you to book your visit to the Underwater Museum online, since the Diving school can send you a digital manual so that you can start working through the theory before you arrive in Lanzarote, saves you place and also time, giving you time to enjoy plenty of other Active Excursions.
