Electric Paddle Surf and Snorkel Excursion

Discover Lanzarote’s stunning Papagayo coast in a fun and easy way with our electric paddle surf and snorkel excursion 🌊. The electric boards help you glide along the water with very little effort, so you can relax, enjoy the views and focus on the experience rather than on paddling. Your guide will start with a simple briefing on the beach and show you how to use the board safely. Then you’ll cruise along cliffs and hidden coves until you reach a beautiful spot to stop, swim and snorkel. With crystal-clear water and plenty of marine life, it’s a great chance to explore beneath the surface too 🐟.

4-Day Freediving Discovery Course

Over 4 days you’ll ease into freediving step by step. You start with simple theory and dry breathing sessions, learning how to relax, breathe efficiently and equalise safely before you ever go deep. Then you move into the water for progressive training: first shallow sessions to practise buoyancy, body position and calm breath-holds, then gradually slightly deeper dives as your confidence grows. Your instructor gives individual feedback in a small group of max. 4 people, so you’re never rushed or pushed beyond your comfort zone.

AIDA Freedive Level 2 Course

Take your freediving further with a complete AIDA Level 2 course in Puerto del Carmen. Over 2–3 days you’ll train in a small group, moving from focused theory to pool practice and then open-water dives. In the classroom you’ll explore safety, problem-solving, breathing and relaxation, rescue concepts for confined water and how physics and physiology affect you at depth. Pool sessions let you refine static and dynamic apnea, improve finning and equalisation and build longer, calmer breath-holds. In three open-water sessions you’ll work on line dives to around 10 metres, buddy checks and simple rescue skills so you can dive more confidently and responsibly. All freediving equipment, pool use, insurance during the course, AIDA learning materials and digital Level 2 certification on successful completion are included. 🏝️
