Diving in the Atlantic Museum

The Atlantic Museum has been conceived as a place for the preservation, conservation, and education of the marine environment and nature, an integral part of the system of human values.

This is a latent message in the work of Jason deCaires Taylor and a call to defend the oceans that the artist projects in all his works.

The museum project is creating a large artificial reef made up of a set of sculptural installations constructed from neutral pH concrete that, over time, will help increase marine biomass and facilitate the reproduction of the island's species.

The museum is located about 12/14 meters deep in the clear waters near the southern coast of Lanzarote (just a few minutes from our Center), in the Bay of Las Coloradas, a site chosen mainly for the physical characteristics of the seabed, covering an area of 2,500 square meters that will be accessible to divers and snorkelers, and will become a focus of tourist and cultural interest.

Jason deCaires Taylor creates mysterious underwater worlds where art evolves as a consequence of nature's effects.

In Greek mythology, the ocean was conceptualized as a metaphor for the origins of humanity, like embryonic water, where gods such as Zeus and Aphrodite were said to have been born.

Human civilization has developed surrounded by two-thirds of a relatively unknown surface.

In the context of the arts, this underwater world has been, until today, physically untouched, impossible to experience in its true nature, which is both fluid and intimate.

The dialogue between humanity and nature implicit in his work evokes a romantic and apocalyptic sense that questions our future.

We are an Authorized Center.

If you are a certified diver, we have daily trips in the morning and afternoon.
Morning Departure 08:00 (2 Dives)
Afternoon Departure 13:30 (1 Dive)

If you’re trying it for the first time, we have organized several options so you won’t miss seeing the Museum based on your time and budget.

We always prioritize safety above all; the Statues are located at a depth of 12-15 meters and are accessed by boat (it is 900 meters from the coast), so it is NOT a place for beginners to dive.

That’s why if you have never dived before, we assign one instructor to you to ensure you have a good experience.

Here are the different options we can offer you, and if you have any questions, you know where to find us!
