The Museo Atlántico is the first underwater art museum in Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. It is located within the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Lanzarote and is accessible to divers and snorkelers. The monumental project took more than three years to plan and construct and includes more than 300 life-size casts placed on a previously barren 50 m x 50 m seabed area, only 14 meters deep
It is one of our favorite dives because of the abundance of marine life, probably the largest in all of Lanzarote. After a platform, about 3 meters deep, a rock wall descends where we find large schools of fish, including: sardines, bream, barracuda or bicuda, salemas, amberjacks, tuna. Among the sandy and rocky bottoms we find giant anemones, angel sharks, rays, eagle rays and nudibranchs.
In the middle of a sandbar emerges a wall that is home to endless marine life: bastards, abadis, horse mackerel, moray eels, spiny dogfish, giant anemones, cleaner shrimp, whelks, octopuses, etc. It is a pleasure to explore the setting and cavities on this dive in Playa Blanca.
This immersion is like going in search of hidden treasure. The dive takes place on the edge between the sand and the rock, following the small flap that forms. The landscape adopts artistic forms by creating small spaces where it is irresistible to take a look in search of inhabitants. One can also recognize the few remnants of an old wreck that the sea has almost disintegrated. It is an easy, fun and varied dive, we can enjoy varied environments such as caves, small reefs and large sandbars.
