Rubicon Diving

Rubicon Diving operates from a berth at Marina Rubicon where four boats are moored directly alongside the centre — no van, no transfer, kit goes straight on deck. Running since 2002-2003, the centre has built up SSI Diamond Instructor Training Center, SSI Extended Range, SSI Blue Oceans, and SSI Mermaid Center designations alongside IANTD and TDI technical certifications. Two boats cover the Playa Blanca sector from Marina Rubicon; two more dock at Puerto del Carmen / Puerto Calero for the deeper eastern programme. That dual-sector reach is the practical differentiator: most Lanzarote operators work from a single harbour, while Rubicon runs both simultaneously on the same daily schedule.

The Playa Blanca programme anchors on Museo Atlantico — Europe's first underwater sculpture museum at 12-15m is a daily destination. Try Dives from 95 EUR include confined water and an ocean dive; children join from age 8-9. On the technical end, two in-house certified gas blenders mix Nitrox, Trimix, and oxygen fills, and guided technical dives go to 100m+ for appropriately certified divers. The Mermaid School Lanzarote, the only mermaiding programme on the island, runs as a distinct operation from Hotel Costa Calero in Puerto Calero.

Courses are confirmed in Spanish, English, French, and German, with the centre listing six languages total. Facilities at Marina Rubicon include hot showers, lockers, high-speed Wi-Fi, water and coffee throughout the day, and GoPro footage emailed after each dive.

4.9 across 867 TripAdvisor reviews — 809 rated Excellent — and 4.9 across roughly 820 Google reviews. The volume held steady across multiple years earns a 2025 Travelers' Choice award.

Safety culture is the consistent thread. One reviewer described how the team handled a medical situation mid-dive-week: the staff responded immediately and checked in the following day — the care shown after the incident, rather than the incident itself, generated the five-star note. Briefings come up repeatedly as thorough without being rushed. Families completing the Museo Atlantico as a first ocean dive describe instructors matching pace to comfort level. Named guides Alvaro, Mark, and Fred appear across reviews from different seasons; small group ratios, with four divers to two guides noted in at least one review, surface as a practical detail that first-time divers mention specifically.
