Scuba Legends ist eine junge Tauchschule unter deutscher Leitung. Je nach Saison besteht unser Team aus drei bis f\u00fcnf Tauchlehrern, gelegentlich unterst\u00fctzt von Divemastern oder Divemaster-Anw\u00e4rtern. Wir legen Wert auf sicheres Tauchen in kleinen Gruppen und die Verwendung von hochwertiger, gut gepflegter Ausr\u00fcstung.<\/p>\n
Unser Team ist international und mehrsprachig. Wir sprechen die g\u00e4ngigsten Sprachen wie Spanisch, Englisch, Franz\u00f6sisch und Deutsch. Falls du m\u00f6chtest, dass dein Tauchlehrer eine bestimmte Sprache spricht, kontaktiere uns bitte vor deiner Buchung, um die Verf\u00fcgbarkeit zu best\u00e4tigen.<\/p>\n
Die eLearning-Kursmaterialien sind in vielen weiteren Sprachen verf\u00fcgbar.<\/p>\n
Das Scuba Legends Dive Center Lanzarote befindet sich in Puerto del Carmen. Du findest uns im Einkaufszentrum \u201ePuerto Cinco\u201c im zweiten Stock (\u00fcber dem Dino-Supermarkt, neben dem Restaurant Spinnaker).<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Tauchen auf Lanzarote” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Lanzarote is the island of “never ending spring” which means even in wintertime we can enjoy sunny days and mild temperatures. Therefore, we are happily diving all year round. The water temperature varies from 19\u00b0C in winter (6\/7mm wetsuit + hood recommended) to a maximum of 25\u00b0C in summer (min. 5mm wetsuit recommended).<\/p>\n
Most commonly we have a visibility of 15-30m. However, it depends on the dive site and daily conditions (e.g., waves, tides, currents, winds).<\/p>\n
Lanzarote offers excellent diving conditions year-round, thanks to its mild climate and consistently warm waters. Most marine life is visible all year. However, the best season for diving often depends on your preferences:<\/p>\n
No matter the season, Lanzarote boasts stunning underwater landscapes, including volcanic reefs, caves, and wrecks.<\/p>\n
At Scuba Legends we like to dive in small groups of max. 5 persons per staff member. However, for certain activities like try dives or courses groups often are smaller.<\/p>\n
Yes, of course! No matter if you want to snorkel, dive or participate in a course, we are happy to arrange a private instructor for you or your group. Please contact us in advance to request availability and prices.<\/p>\n
Puerto del Carmen, no doubt. We are lucky to have some of the most amazing dive sites, by shore and boat, right in front of our doors. The good news is that many dive sites are well protected from wind and weather, easily accessible and enjoyable for all levels of experience.<\/p>\n
Lanzarote is renowned for its rich and diverse marine life, making it a top destination for snorkelers and scuba divers. The island\u2019s underwater ecosystems thrive due to its volcanic origins and the influence of the nutrient-rich Canary Current. Here\u2019s what you can expect:<\/p>\n
Lanzarote\u2019s underwater landscapes are just as captivating as its marine life, with volcanic formations, caves, and swim-throughs adding to the adventure.<\/p>\n
Usually we come back to shore between dives. Most locations offer public toilets at the dive site or port.<\/p>\n
This depends on your certification, experience level, air consumptions and weather conditions. We remain within the framework of the PADI standards and the Spanish law.<\/p>\n
Depending on the dive profile (depth, conditions, etc.,) the maximum dive time (time underwater) is 45 minutes or reaching the safety reserve of 50 bar. Please calculate additional time for briefings, getting changed, gearing up, as well as entering and exiting the water.<\/p>\n
Whilst being in the water, all personal items will be secured in our vehicle alongside our equipment. We recommend bringing only necessary items. We do not assume liability for loss or theft.<\/p>\n
Feel free to bring snacks and drinks with you. Nonetheless, during the surface interval we provide water and cookies. Take some extra cash with you just in case you want to get a coffee or lunch between the dives or find some souvenirs on the way.<\/p>\n

All activities for beginners (snorkel excursions, PADI Discover Scuba Diving, PADI Scuba Diver Course as well as PADI Open Water Diver Course) include equipment and insurance. Activities for certified divers, dive excursions and courses, include tanks and weights only. Dive equipment (set or single items) can be rented at extra charge.<\/p>\n
According to the requirements of the Spanish law every diver should have a personal dive computer. You can either bring your own or rent a dive computer (limited availability).<\/p>\n
Our rental suits are 6\/7mm with hood and we use them all year long. If you bring your own suit, we recommend a minimum of 5mm in summer. If you often feel more cold than others, you might consider to bring neoprene socks, gloves or a undervest. Lanzarote is also a great destination to try your semi-dry or drysuit.<\/p>\n
Generally we use 12 L steel tanks, however, 10L & 15L are available free of charge upon previous request (subject to availability). For sidemount and twinsets and technical diving we use aluminium tanks.<\/p>\n
Regulators: Tecline, Scubapro, Apeks, Aqualung<\/p>\n
BCD\u2019s: Scubapro<\/p>\n
Wings, Bladders: Halcyon, Tecline, Scubapro, Apeks<\/p>\n
Suits: Scubapro, Mares<\/p>\n
Yes, feel free to bring your own dive equipment along. Throughout the your diving days we will take care of it as it was our own, including washing, drying and packing your gear.<\/p>\n
Yes, throughout your diving days you can leave your gear at the dive center.<\/p>\n

Ja, die gesamte Theorie wird vor Kursbeginn im Selbststudium \u00fcber das PADI eLearning absolviert. Sobald du deinen Kurs bei uns gebucht hast, kaufen wir das entsprechende PADI eLearning und registrieren dich.<\/p>\n
Wir beginnen um 8:15 Uhr und beenden den Trainingstag je nach Kurs und Teilnehmerzahl zwischen 13:00 und 15:00 Uhr. Normalerweise absolvieren wir 2\u20133 Tauchg\u00e4nge\/Trainingseinheiten pro Tag.<\/p>\n
Abh\u00e4ngig vom Tauchprofil (Tiefe, Bedingungen usw.) betr\u00e4gt die maximale Tauchzeit (Zeit unter Wasser) 45 Minuten bzw. endet der Tauchgang beim Erreichen der Sicherheitsreserve von 50 bar. Bei Kurstauchg\u00e4ngen k\u00f6nnen zus\u00e4tzlich \u00dcbungen an der Oberfl\u00e4che sowie au\u00dferhalb des Wassers erforderlich sein. Dar\u00fcber hinaus f\u00fchrt dein Instructor zwischen den Tauchg\u00e4ngen Briefings durch und erkl\u00e4rt dir alle \u00dcbungen. Normalerweise absolvieren wir 2\u20133 Tauchg\u00e4nge\/Trainingseinheiten pro Tag.<\/p>\n
Grunds\u00e4tzlich findet das Kurstraining vom Ufer in Playa Chica statt. Playa Chica bietet nicht nur zahlreiche verschiedene Tauchpl\u00e4tze und eine vielf\u00e4ltige Unterwasserwelt, sondern auch hervorragende Bedingungen f\u00fcr die Ausbildung: eine gesch\u00fctzte Bucht mit flachem Wasser sowie bis zu 10 verschiedene Tauchpl\u00e4tze mit Tiefen bis zu 40 Metern. Bei bestimmten Kursen (z. B. Advanced oder Wrack-Specialty-Kursen) k\u00f6nnen wir jedoch, sofern geeignet, Bootstauchg\u00e4nge hinzuf\u00fcgen.<\/p>\n
Nein, bei allen nicht-professionellen Kursen sind die erforderlichen Materialien bzw. der Zugang zum PADI eLearning sowie die PADI-Zertifizierungsgeb\u00fchren im Kurspreis enthalten.<\/p>\n
Wir m\u00f6chten darauf hinweisen, dass Scuba Legends sich das Recht vorbeh\u00e4lt, nach Abschluss eines Kurses keine Zertifizierung auszustellen, wenn der Instructor feststellt, dass der Teilnehmer die erforderlichen Standards und Voraussetzungen nicht erf\u00fcllt hat. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass eine Zertifizierung nicht allein durch die Bezahlung des Kurses garantiert werden kann.<\/p>\n
Unsere Ausbildung erfolgt strikt nach den Standards des Tauchverbandes. Die meisten \u00dcbungen bauen aufeinander auf und m\u00fcssen erfolgreich abgeschlossen werden, bevor mit den darauffolgenden \u00dcbungen fortgefahren werden kann. Sofern kein Privatkurs gebucht wurde, muss der Instructor mit den \u00fcbrigen Teilnehmern fortfahren, wenn ein Teilnehmer die Ausbildung abbrechen m\u00f6chte oder die erforderlichen \u00dcbungen trotz angemessener Trainings- und \u00dcbungszeit nicht erfolgreich absolvieren kann, damit der Kurs wie geplant durchgef\u00fchrt werden kann.<\/p>\n
Wie in unseren Stornierungsbedingungen beschrieben, sind in solchen F\u00e4llen weder eine Umbuchung noch eine R\u00fcckerstattung m\u00f6glich. Zus\u00e4tzliche Trainingseinheiten k\u00f6nnen jedoch gegen Aufpreis und je nach Verf\u00fcgbarkeit vereinbart werden.<\/p>\n
Der Open Water Kurs<\/a> ist ideal f\u00fcr Anf\u00e4nger und erfordert keinerlei vorherige Taucherfahrung. Wenn du dich im Meer jedoch nicht wohlf\u00fchlst oder noch nicht sicher bist, ob du dich zertifizieren lassen m\u00f6chtest, empfehlen wir dir, vor der Buchung eines Kurses zun\u00e4chst einen Schnuppertauchgang<\/a> zu machen. Wenn du sehr nerv\u00f6s bist oder bereits schlechte Erfahrungen beim Tauchen gemacht hast, solltest du einen Privatkurs in Betracht ziehen. So kann sich der Instructor vollst\u00e4ndig auf dich und deine individuellen Bed\u00fcrfnisse konzentrieren. Wenn du weitere Beratung ben\u00f6tigst, kontaktiere uns gerne.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Tauchversicherung” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n The dive organisation as well as the Spanish law requires any diver to fill in a medical questionnaire<\/a> prior to any in water activities. Certain pre-existing medical conditions might require medical clearance by a physician . Please keep in mind that your honesty is required and particularly important for your and your buddy\u2019s safety, but also for the responsibility of our staff. Should you have any doubts concerning your medical situation or need advice, please contact us<\/a>. Safety is our highest priority.<\/p>\n Students participating in professional courses such as the PADI Divemaster or Instructor course must always prove a medical diving certificate before the course.<\/p>\n The Spanish law requires every certified diver to have a personal diving insurance. Please bring proof of your diving insurance prior to diving or contact us to sign up for a policy of our daily or long-term plans.<\/p>\n If you dive regularly, it might be useful to have your own annual insurance. If you already have insurance and would like to participate in technical dives or courses, better check whether technical diving is covered.<\/p>\n In addition to a diving insurance, we also strongly recommend a general travel insurance from your local provider to cover non-diving accidents or illnesses abroad.<\/p>\n After one recreational dive you should wait at least 12 hours, after 2 dives 18 hours. Keep in mind, that in case you join us for technical diving, you might break recreational limits and\/ or stay longer or deeper underwater. We recommend you to plan 18 to 24 hours from the moment you surface from your last dive till your flight departure.<\/p>\n In case you have not been diving since a while (>6-12 months), especially when less than 30-50 dives, we highly recommend you do a refresher dive to review the basics. Profit of detailed instructions, equipment set up, skill practice and buoyancy training, to find an easy dive to get back into the ocean. Not only is it important for your own safety to feel comfortable and in control, but also would it not be fair towards other divers in the group if you would join dives, you might not be ready for yet.

As we usually start diving early and are out of the water by midday, it is likely you will be able to dive the day prior to your flight departure. In case of technical decompression dives a surface interval of +24 hours is recommended before flying. However, there is no restrictions in diving after flying, you can dive any time after your arrival.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to read about DAN\u00b4s latest research.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Tauchtauglichkeitsbescheinigung” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n The dive organisation as well as the Spanish law requires any diver to fill in a medical questionnaire<\/a> prior to any in water activities.

Generally, we prepare all paperwork, tanks and equipment the day prior to your activity (we bring spare sizes!) and therefore, it is not necessary to come to the dive center prior to your activity. Especially if you are in walking distance or have a rental car, it might be more practical to meet us directly at the dive site. Often, it is easier to find parking than at the dive center, and it gives you more flexibility in time.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, throughout the booking process we ask for your accommodation and if you have a rental car. We then send you individual information regarding the starting time, meeting location, parking and how to get there. Therefore, it is very important to check your inbox for the confirmation email.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Transfers und Abholungen” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n Wir treffen uns entweder am Tauchzentrum und fahren gemeinsam zum Tauchplatz, oder direkt am Tauchplatz. Da die meisten unserer G\u00e4ste in der N\u00e4he untergebracht sind und wir viele fantastische Tauchpl\u00e4tze in fu\u00dfl\u00e4ufiger Entfernung zum Tauchzentrum haben, gibt es keinen regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Abholservice.<\/p>\n Wir bitten dich um Verst\u00e4ndnis, dass ein individueller Abholservice f\u00fcr uns als kleines Team zeit- und kostenintensiv ist. Es erfordert zus\u00e4tzliches Personal, ein weiteres Fahrzeug und eine Anpassung unseres Arbeitsplans und unserer Logistik. F\u00fcr eine individuelle Abholung kontaktiere uns bitte vor Buchung zwecks Best\u00e4tigung der Ver\u00fcgbarkeit (je nach Entfernung bitten wir um eine kleine Aufwandentsch\u00e4digung).<\/p>\n Innerhalb der touristischen Zonen ist es einfach, mit dem \u00f6ffentlichen Bus zu fahren.

However, recommending accommodation can be tricky since it depends on individual preferences , budget and expectations. We recommend you to book accommodation within Puerto del Carmen. It is very practical to stay close to Playa Chica (main dive site), since you could just walk over there in the morning and would not even have to come to the dive center.<\/p>\n Puerto del Carmen offers long beaches, plenty of bars & restaurants, and great opportunities for walks and shopping. Near by the dive center there are many different accommodations ranging from small studios & apartments, to villas and fancy hotels. Lanzarote is a busy island and even in low season you should book your accommodation as early as possible.<\/p>\n Independently of where you are staying, we recommend renting a car to explore the island outside the touristic hotspots.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Begleitung von Nicht-Tauchern” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ toggle_text_color_last_edited=”off|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Considering a transfer is not needed, your beloved ones can stay close by at the dive site or port, enjoy the beach or go take a seat in one of the bars. We also offer different activities, including snorkel excursions and try dives for beginners that might be suitable.<\/p>\n We kindly ask you for your understanding that cars and boats have limited seating and we need to plan our logistics accordingly. Please consult us prior to booking for available spots and extra costs (e.g., boat and port fees).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Zahlungen” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_color=”#000000″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n We understand you may have doubts about paying without having met us yet. As a small dive center, requiring full payment at the time of booking helps us guarantee staffing, block your spots, reserve necessary resources, and plan your experience effectively. This approach ensures we provide you with the best possible service.<\/p>\nWhy do I have to present a medical statement and was never asked that when diving in the past?<\/h3>\n
