As a family of 8, we had a great time on the submarine dive. An experience we won't forget. Unfortunately, the trip was spoilt due to a delay in the return transport. Whilst i fully understand that this is beyond your control, the fact we had to stand in the searing heat of 27 degrees and full sun for 40 minutes waiting for the coach was not acceptable. We were led to the pickup point by a member of staff to an area with absolutely no seats anywhere and had to take refuge standing in the shade offered by a parked van. We weren't kept updated by the member of staff who waited with us. I have mobility problems, but it wasn't just me as everyone was struggling. It was such a shame. I feel it could have been avoided if we hadn't been taken to the pick-up point until the coach was there, and at a very minimum, seats and shade should have been available.

Many thanks for taking the time to give us a review. Normally 25 min past the hour our clients should be ready to walk back to the bus. The meeting point is outside our office, so people can wait in our air conditioned reception area or outside in the shade. On this particular day, the bus had a breakdown and was coming in late. After calling the bus company, we were informed the bus was going to arrive in 5 minutes. so we walked the clients back to the bus parking area to meet the bus. The bus didn't arrive until 15 - 20 minutes later. We are very sorry for this. This was an isolated incident which we thank you for bringing to our attention. Many thanks for pointing this out for us, we have learned and will insure this will not happen again. Please note, you can now take advantage of our online special offer. Book a date, time & bus pick up which is convenient for you. Pay safe and securely via our website. 👀 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬

This was a first for my family and it was such a unique experience. We arrived at the marina via taxi, but there also is a bus provided by the company.
Once there, we watched a safety video and made our way down to the submarine. We were talked through everything as we took our seats and were accompanied out of the harbour by a safety boat.

The decent into the water was very gentle and there was an abundance of fish that followed us throughout the excursion. We saw a few shipwrecks, an eagle ray and an octopus, happily chilling on a rock. The crew were very friendly and answered any questions we had.

It really is something very different to do and I highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip in the submarine, its something different and was actually better than I thought. Very clean spacious, plenty of fish to see and a shipwreck which was fascinating. The tour lasts about 40 minutes under water. All in all a great day out for the price

We were so looking forward to this trip as it was my birthday, but sadly we were sat next to a toddler (probably 2 at most) who screamed all the way through the trip. All 50 minutes of it. I feel there should be an age limit on things like this. We paid €118 and it was torture from start to finish. We weren't able to enjoy it at all which is sad and a total waste of money
I think all those poor people who paid such a lot of hard earned money should be partly refunded.

Hi, We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience the noise may have caused. We try our best at all times to ensure children behave but in todays sensitive world we are unable to instruct parents on the behaviour of their children whilst onboard. This is the first time we have had this type of complaint and we are sorry to say is not considered a refundable cause as it would be if you were on an aircraft. Please note The minimum age to board our submarine is two years old

Good experience for all ages. Can get some great photos, found quite relaxing. Informative narration with headphones in different languages. If my 2 boys now men were younger they would have loved it.
Not a long dive but worth it.

By far the best adventure I have ever had. I was scared stiff before the dive and afterwards I just wanted to do it again. The fish and shipwrecks were absolutely jaw dropping....the submarine got so close that you could see all the details. The fish were a sight to behold. It was so calm and relaxing under water. I felt like I was in a giant fishtank, it really is a wonderful experience . Honestly do this dive you will never forget it!

Great to here you enjoyed the experience Scarletta and good to hear you overcame your initial fears. Many of our clients are nervous at first. Unlike the aircraft our clients arrive to Lanzarote in, there is no pressure (ear popping) turbulence, take off or landing. The submarine is very stable. Clients who normally suffer from motion sickness on boats will be ok on our submarine as it moves very slowly under the water, powered by electric motors with very little movement. Anyone over the age of 2 and capable of climbing down the ladders featured in this video can enjoy a dive to 30m with us. The cabin is spacious, we seat 44 passengers and is maintained at normal atmospheric conditions, so pregnant women, heart patients and persons with ear problems will not be affected in any way.

Well organised trip, nice experience in a safe and comfortable environment. As soon as we were seated in the submarine, fish swimming past the window. Short trip but we did see shipwrecks, barracudas plenty of bass varieties, overall nice experience and worth the money.

Was quite apprehensive about going in a submarine. It was fine quite roomy not too cramped. Saw plenty of fish and enjoyed the experience. It did get quite warm so take some water.

Many thanks for your 5 star review. Great to hear you enjoyed the experience of diving with us. The inside of our submarine is spacious and is maintained at normal atmospheric conditions, so pregnant women, heart patients and persons with ear problems will not be affected in any way. We seat 44 passengers and crew. We have many different comments regarding the temperature inside the submarine some say it is cool, others like yourself say it is hot. The interior of the submarine is air conditioned and maintained at a constant temperature of 21-22 degrees

Submarine Safari @ Puerto Calero.
52 Euros per person for a 50 minute trip.
What could be more exciting than going down to the bottom of the sea in a real submarine? Potentially, this could have been one of the highlights of our holiday but it fell well short. The trip goes as follows- leaving the harbour approx 10 minutes, diving 10 minutes, sitting on the sea bed 10 minutes, climbing 10 minutes and returning to port 10 minutes. Along the way you pass three ship wrecks and watch a diver feed the fish. Depending on which side of the submarine you sit you either see the wrecks on the way out and a wall of water on the way back or a wall of water on the way out and the wrecks on the way back. The crew did point out interesting things to see and the names of the different fish but god help anyone who moved seats. On returning to port everyone is given a diving certificate (free) and are offered the obligatory photo (8 euro in a presentation folder). All in all it was disappointing for the money.

The total time allocated for every dive is 45 minutes. This is made up of the following. 1. The submarine has to travel on the surface as it leaves the harbour. This is for safety reasons due to the amount of traffic (boats) entering and leaving the harbour. This takes 5- 6 minutes 2. The submarine has to travel on the surface as it enters the harbour for the same reasons stated above. This take 5- 6 minutes. 3. The rest of the time is spent diving, which is 33 – 35 minutes.. Many thanks for your review

We believe TripAdvisor to be a very good tool for both customers and suppliers. It enables positive feedback from our customers in order for us to give our clients a better service/experience. In your case it has nothing to do with positive comments, but rather comments that are not true. It is impossible for our submarine to carry out a commercial dive for a period of 15 minutes. Our trip consists of clients spending a minimum time of 45 to 50 minutes in the submarine. Part of this time is spent manovering out from the marina. This is done on the surface for safety in order to avoid other vessels coming in and out of the marina. When you are inside the submarine, then from this point on wards you are actually under the water, but if you want the exact time of diving, then this is between 35-40 minutes. These are the actual facts, which I will leave to the reading public to make their own minds up who is telling the truth, as we are very proud to have a 4 star TripAdvisor rating.
