Hi Dan

sorry to infrm you that there are no real caves that can be dived safely on Lanzarote, there are a few nice caverns but no serious caves for advanced divers.
Having said that, there are a couple of lava tubes in Mala north of the island, they are worth diving once or twice but as said these are not real caves.

There is a cave system also in the north and I know some people who have walked a long way with gear to get to dive it, but it is not oficially allowed so we keep clear of it.

We have very nice drop offs both in the centre of the island ( puerto del carmen) and in the south (playa Blanca, around the light house) so if you would like some info on that let me know.

Cheers

Chris

what i was reffering to was Jameos del Agua? (not sure on the name) but perhaps permission to dive is hard to get?.

You cannot dive jameos del agua, it is only open for sightseeing.
We have a few lava tubes in the north, a place called Mala, I personally enjoy them but they are relatively simple to dive, nothing like real dive penetration.

Welcome Chris

Nice diving in Lanzarote, you have some great drop offs !! Only place on the planet where I did deco and everyone else was doing PADI try a dives. Strange struggling out of the water with side mounts to be met by topless ladies, mid 50's unfortunatley.

Hi Chris

Coming to your island on the 8/11/07 to learn to use the Inspiration. Not sure if it is your shop we are diving with (I am learning with Richie Stevenson). Really look forward to it. Won't be doing anything serious as it will be all we can do to learn the new skills.

Hopefully see your shop there

Hello Dave

Unfortunatelly it is not at our shop, I have no idea where it will take place but you are more than welcome to drop by and have a look at our facilities.
By the way we have had Manta´s sightings round the southern tip of the island.
Sunny regards.
