AccommodationPura Vida Lanzarote practices eco-diving daily to contribute, through our sport, to preserving our environment above and below the water, allowing us to continue enjoying the wonders of nature in harmony.
Development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Pura Vida is much more than a dive center; it is a philosophy based on respect for the natural, cultural, and social environment, as well as the values of a community. This allows for a positive exchange of experiences, where the relationship between tourists and the community is fair, and the benefits of the activity are distributed equitably.

Covering two-thirds of our planet, the oceans contain 80% of the Earth’s living organisms. Half of the oxygen we breathe comes from the oceans, which also stabilize the climate and allow for the circulation of nutrients around the planet.
They regulate water and are essential for freshwater production and carbon absorption. They also provide food and other resources, trade, and migration routes.
The list of threats is long: destructive fishing, waste dumping, oil and chemical spills, the use of underwater acoustic devices, military activity, the invasion of non-native species, the impact of climate change, sand or construction material extraction, hydrocarbon exploitation, urban expansion along the coast, among others.
In numbers, each year the plastic material that has ended up on the ocean floor has caused the death of one million seabirds, 100,000 mammals, and countless fish! In the last decade, an average of 600,000 barrels of oil has been accidentally spilled each year.
Populations of large fish such as tuna, cod, and swordfish have decreased by up to 90% in the last century. There is a real and proven threat to sharks. Each year, 100 million sharks (270,000 per day) are killed worldwide, and some of their species are endangered, which, if it continues, would have dire consequences for life on the surface.
Monthly beach cleanups
On the first Saturday of March 2018, we started the beach and seabed cleanup project in the municipality of Yaiza. The idea was to establish a fixed schedule where both locals and tourists would come to know that in Playa Blanca, there are cleanups to participate in every first Saturday.
Since 2018, we have held over 6 annual cleanups both underwater and from the surface.
With the satisfaction of having established a fixed date in the southern part of the island’s calendar to dedicate to caring for our environment on the 2nd Saturday of each month. For more info, Contact Here

Rules of a Committed Diver
- Support projects dedicated to marine protection, such as our monthly cleanups.
- If possible, collect trash during your dives, but only if doing so does not cause further harm to the environment.
- If possible, cut hanging ropes and collect nets and plastics.
- Never throw inorganic waste into the sea: plastics decompose at an incredibly slow rate.
- Minimize your waste: use reusable coffee cups and containers, glass or metal bottles, and shopping bags.
- Do not feed or disturb marine animals.
- Do not take souvenirs from the sea: broken pieces of coral or empty shells still serve as useful habitats.
