5.00As 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!
5 days diving in Lanzarote

5.00I 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.
Absolute Legends!

5.00We 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.
Great people

5.00An 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!
Wonderful dives at Playa Blanca

5.00We researched, and contacted, multiple dive companies in Lanzarote before choosing Scuba Legends. We chose them because of the good reviews, they had availability on the day we wanted to dive, and they offered the dive locations we were interested in. Their communication was good from the time I first contacted them. They provided all of the information we needed, including equipment, times and meeting location. On the day of the dive, they were easy to find and the staff was well prepared. Our guide, Igor, was friendly and went over everything we needed to know for the day. We did two dives, both were a short boat ride from the marina. I would recommend Scuba Legends to anyone looking to dive in Lanzarote.
Outstanding AOWD Experience with Scuba Legends and Instructor Igor

5.00I completed my AOWD course with Scuba Legends in Lanzarote, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My instructor Igor was absolutely outstanding: extremely knowledgeable, patient, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He explained everything clearly and made me feel safe and confident throughout all the exercises. The course was very well structured, hands-on, and truly helped me improve my diving skills. I especially appreciated how individually Igor worked with me and how much importance he placed on safety and thorough briefings. After the course, I did two additional fun dives, and both were fantastic. Great organization, beautiful dive sites, and a relaxed yet highly professional atmosphere. You can feel the team’s true passion for diving in every moment. Bottom line: Highly recommended! I will definitely come back and am already looking forward to my next dives with this amazing team.
