Today, we talk about Ocean Freediving Lanzarote, a high-level freediving center that operates in the spectacular waters of the Atlantic Ocean, amidst the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, one of the most beautiful islands in the Canary archipelago, just a 4-hour flight from Italy. Ocean Freediving Lanzarote is a significant reference point for all enthusiasts, and in this article, we will explore its distinctive qualities, along with the numerous underwater activities offered, while also taking a glimpse into the future with the main freediving events the center will organize in 2024. 

Let's start by providing some additional information about the island of Lanzarote. It is the largest in the Canary archipelago in terms of size and is a highly favored holiday destination for tourists due to its excellent climate, volcanic panoramas, beautiful beaches, and the friendly and welcoming spirit of the locals, in addition to reasonable prices. Lanzarote is a geologically incredible island with lunar landscapes, transparent water, palm oases, where humans have managed to coexist harmoniously with nature, and its sea can be enjoyed all year round. 

The easternmost of the Canaries, it is located 125 kilometers off the coast of Africa and 1,000 kilometers from the Iberian Peninsula. In Lanzarote, the sun always shines, resulting in mild and spring-like temperatures for most of the year, ranging from 21 degrees in January and February to 29 degrees in August and September. Along the coast, rainfall is scarce and mostly occurs between October and March due to disturbances passing through. 

All of this ensures that the sea remains "accessible" throughout the year, with an average temperature of 22 degrees. Although not considered a warm sea compared to the Red Sea, due to the Canary Current flowing west of Morocco, its temperature, ranging from 18 degrees in February and March to 24.5 degrees in September and October, allows for consistent conditions, ensuring enjoyable and fun freediving sessions year-round, wearing relatively light wetsuits. 

Ocean Freediving Lanzarote is located in the town of Puerto del Carmen, the main tourist resort in Lanzarote, just a short walk from Playa China, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Specifically, it is within the Fariones sports center, one of the most complete and equipped on the island, boasting multiple facilities such as a pool, gym, bar, Jacuzzi, and sauna, which can be integrated into regular freediving activities. 

Unique Features 

The center stands out for the professionalism and experience of its staff, offering tailored freediving courses for every level of expertise. It is managed by Sergio Soria, a Trainer Instructor and instructor certified by major international organizations, with extensive safety experience and expertise in teaching equalization (from beginners to high-level athletes), accompanied by other highly qualified instructors. A specialized team that ensures a safe and stimulating environment for enthusiasts, whether they are beginners or world champions, placing the customer and their safety at the center. 

For sea activities, the facility is equipped with modern boats specifically designed with arms and counterbalances to ensure more accessible, captivating, and safe dives for each group. Soria is undoubtedly a professional and pleasant host to work with, aiming to help individuals improve and discover the wonders of this fantastic discipline. 

Always at the Forefront 

With the ability to handle stages or large groups, the center offers a wide range of services and underwater activities. These include individual lessons and workshops, ranging from beginner courses to depth sessions for experienced athletes, compensation stages, safety courses, and the organization of international-level competitions. The center's dives, supported by modern boat equipment, guarantee world-class safety, with a counterweight system specially designed for dives beyond 100 meters. This has attracted high-level athletes, including Alessia Zecchini, who have used this opportunity for their training sessions. 

From competition to tourism, Ocean Freediving offers a comprehensive 360-degree service for any need, embracing freediving in all its facets. While training high-level competitors, the center also organizes underwater itineraries for tourists to discover the underwater wonders of Lanzarote. This duality reflects the inclusive spirit of the center, aiming to share and spread the beauty of freediving at all levels. Here, equipment for freediving can be rented, ensuring a higher level of service for those who want to organize a last-minute dive. 

As freediving has become a global phenomenon, fueled by passion worldwide, Ocean Freediving Lanzarote attracts people from every corner of the world, fostering important cultural exchanges. Athletes and clients mostly come from Europe, with a prevalence of French, Italian, German, English, and Spanish individuals. It's not uncommon to find freedivers from the USA as well. Moreover, the center has always promoted gender equality in freediving, with all its activities characterized by a balanced participation of men and women, creating a stimulating and jovial environment. 

Looking to the Future 

The Lanzarote center looks to the future with determination and ambition, aiming to further improve the level of its services and continue developing the growth of freediving worldwide. The main mission is to confirm itself as a forefront point for safety and depth training, and to achieve this, additional technological developments will be implemented shortly to enhance dive safety. New specialty courses and collaborations with international experts are also planned. 

"Ocean Freediving Lanzarote will increasingly strive to become a reference point at the European and global levels for safety and equalization training, as well as a logistical and organizational point for international competitions. The goal, in this case, will be to organize at least two sea competitions per year starting from 2024," explains Soria.
