We were here with a group of 8 divers, including 2 instructors, 3 OW and 3 very experienced divers. The check-in was done rather chaotically, so not all papers were filled out correctly and we were rather brutally challenged on this. The checkdive in the bay, the next day, was done with a guide. When we saw an octopus and took our time so everyone could admire/film it, the guide rather rudely waved and signaled for us to follow. The later explanation that we had a certain schedule and were required to follow sucked. We dived the bay itself several more times unguided and you could always come to shore or adjust a course. Due to the small space vh dive center, the preparation each time was very chaotic and disorganized. Fortunately, we made beautiful, unguided dives ourselves, where we could take all the time we needed to enjoy ourselves. The two guided dives to the wrecks were very pleasant, thanks to Marta. We could still understand that it is not obvious because of the small space they have, that it is a hassle to get ready. The staff was not always friendly, especially Viktor could be rude. We also found it unfortunate that no shade was provided anywhere, nor was water offered, as in so many other dive centers, knowing that dehydration is the No. 1 cause of decompression sickness. The nitrox bottles we rented were usually only filled to a rate of 28 or 29%.

Things run smoothly there sometimes .
Especially the first day on arrival , as the staff was not aware of our group .
It is small there , expansion is urgently needed also along the beach area .
Everyone is in everyone's way.
The Dives are rather monotonous in nature .
The staff is made friendly .

Back again from beautiful (Dive) vacation and thanks for arranging it.

Monday 10 November I was picked up by Marian from Safari Diving Lanzerote, that day 2 nice dives and Tuesday 11 November also 1 nice dive.
Unfortunately, on Monday my Action Camera was filled with water and could not be saved. Fortunately, the Micro SD card was not damaged and I was able to save a few photos.

Wednesday the red flag hung high in the flagpole, which meant no diving. ( my remaining booked dives remain until next time)

So back to the hotel with my diving equipment, because even worse weather was predicted on Thursday as well. ( see photo of the high waves along the coast at Puerto del Carmen)
The rest of the days enjoyed the island and a short South Tour.

Have to be honest that we have dived quite a bit all over the world and so may be a bit spoiled, look at it is this perspective.
Safari Diving is a small base right across the beach from Playa Chica, ideal.
A big advantage over other bases, which have lots of buses in sparse packing spots, with lots of lugging and rummaging, in the sun, through the dock or beach into the water.
It's always crowded there, which makes changing clothes a bit of a hassle, then it's a bit of slogging past bathers to get into the water.
Fortunately, the bottles are not too heavy (12 liters bombs) and there are also 10 and 15 liters.
The dive guides are very helpful and I also found the atmosphere at the base to be friendly.
Gear can be stored in the base in crates or hung up.
Rental gear looked solid, sinks were cleaned in a timely manner.
Did find the tray for glasses or cameras a bit small.
Next to the base is a stall where you can buy soft drinks and ice cream.
Boat dives can also be done on a RIB.
Fortunately there is a solid ladder to climb back into the RIB.
Boarding takes place at the quay, where you walk with your equipment on (not very far).
There is only one set of stairs where bathers and many other divers and pleasure craft use, so busy, but sometimes it is best to start here because of the current outside the bay.
After the dive with the RIB you go back into the water just in front of the bay and head for the beach (diving if you still have air).
The best places to dive at Chica are near the rocks , shallow, or deeper an orange coral and the Cathedral.
But there are also many sandy areas.
Safari Diving also has a base in Playa Blanca, which expands the spectrum of dive sites.
Here you can dive at the Museum Atlantico, again with a RIB.
Highly recommended, we had a great time.
