A Warm Welcome Back to Costa Teguise

Returning to Costa Teguise felt like coming home. The familiar salty breeze, the gentle rustle of palm leaves, and the inviting azure waters of Playa de las Cucharas greeted me with open arms. This time, my heart was set on exploring the underwater wonders of Lanzarote, a place that had long been on my list of must-dive destinations. As a marine biologist, the allure of the ocean is irresistible, and the promise of discovering new marine life was too tempting to resist.

Upon arrival, I was drawn to Aquatis, a diving school that had garnered a reputation for excellence. The reviews spoke of a place where divers return time and again, and I was eager to see if it lived up to the praise. The school had undergone some changes since the last time many had visited, with a fresh and open look that immediately put me at ease. Though Georg, a beloved instructor, was no longer there, Sam and his team exuded a calm confidence that assured me I was in good hands.

Diving into the Depths

The first dive was a gentle introduction to the underwater world of Lanzarote. After a thorough briefing and familiarization with the equipment, we descended to a depth of six meters. The water was crystal clear, offering a perfect view of the vibrant marine life that called this place home. Schools of colorful fish darted around us, and the coral formations were a testament to the thriving ecosystem beneath the waves.

As we ventured further, reaching depths of 10-12 meters, the underwater landscape transformed. The diversity of life was astounding, with each dive offering something new and unexpected. From the graceful dance of a stingray to the curious gaze of a cuttlefish, every moment was a reminder of the ocean’s endless wonders. The equipment provided by Aquatis was top-notch, mainly Cressi brand, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience throughout.

A Community of Divers

What truly set this experience apart was the sense of community among the divers. Sam and his team fostered an environment of camaraderie and support, making every dive a shared adventure. Language barriers were easily overcome, as the universal language of diving brought us all together. Whether it was sharing stories over a snack between dives or helping each other with gear, there was a palpable sense of belonging.

The pricing at Aquatis was fair, with packages that included transport, dives, and refreshments. For those bringing their own equipment, like myself, the transition was seamless, with the team ready to assist with any adjustments needed. The dedication to maintaining high-quality gear was evident, with a constant rotation of new materials ensuring safety and reliability.

As I surfaced from my final dive, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the experiences and connections made. Costa Teguise and Aquatis had not only met but exceeded my expectations, leaving me with memories that would last a lifetime. For anyone seeking an underwater adventure that combines serenity with exhilaration, I wholeheartedly recommend diving in Lanzarote. Until next time, Costa Teguise, I will carry the ocean’s whispers with me.
