Don your mask and dive into the mesmerizing underwater world of Lanzarote's lava landscape. Discover the vibrant marine life, explore hidden caves, and witness the unique beauty of this swimming, snorkeling and freediver's paradise.

Nothing gives more a feeling of freedom than going out in the ocean with just your swimming suit and a mask to spy on the curious dwellers of these crystal-clear waters. Take a breath, go down. It's that simple.

Lanzarote's famous waves in the North and West coasts don't always make it an easy place for open-water swimming, freediving and snorkeling. But in calmer days, some spots offer exhilarating possibilities. The South and East coasts, on the other hand, are perfect for these activities: places like Playa de las Arenas, set between cliffs and a giant black dune, and the white and golden Papagayo beaches -- and there are some incredible hidden spots beyond the famous postcards -- in the Monumento Natural de los Ajaches will steal your heart with their marine wildlife.

Stay tuned for our first articles about the best spots for swimming, snorkeling and freediving in Lanzarote.
