Museo Atlntico

The Museo Atlántico –  consists of 10 different groups of sculptures. There is the Rubicon, a group of 35 human figures walking towards a wall. The models used for these sculptures are residents of Lanzarote. You can also see the famous Raft of Lampedusa, a reference to the current refugee crisis. Another component is a group of children in little brass boats, called Los Jolateros. Also, there are several hybrid sculptures (half human, half cactus) depicting the merging of nature and humanity, existing together in perfect harmony. The sculptures of a couple taking a selfie and some photographers refer to the use of technology in modern society. Deregulated is a playground in which businessmen in suits play on a swing and a seesaw. The last piece is a human gyre which consists of 200 life-size sculptures placed in a never ending circle.

Museo Atlántico is the only underwater sculpture museum in Europe. For those people who do not have a dive license, we offer a special program to visit the Museo Atlántico. The program consists of three sections and takes 5 hours in total. It begins with a try dive from the shore. For this first dive we explain the most important dive theory in a 20 minute safety briefing. You will then dive from the shore with one of our instructors to a maximum depth of 6 meters. After completing this dive, you will learn a few basic dive skills in the pool together with your instructor. After a short break we board the boat to the Museo Atlántico. The sculptures are at a depth of 14 meters. As this is your second dive you are not allowed to dive deeper than 12 meters. We will organize a dive with a private guide to keep you at 12 meters. At this depth, you will have a perfect view of the statues.

Freediving among the sculptures is a unique and authentic way to discover the underwater museum, you will feel truly connected with the sea and you will have the chance to experience something completely different!
