A few months ago, while browsing the BBC website, I happened upon an article that piqued my interest. The article was about the latest Jason deCaires Taylor installation in Lanzarote. It appealed for a number of reasons:
- I've been to the MUSA in Cancun and enjoyed the combination of art and scuba
- I was looking for an inexpensive* summer holiday location
- Even Gill.I.Am fancied diving it
So I had a hunt around and booked a Thomas Cook package holiday to the H10 Rubicon Palace in Playa Blanca - home of the museum. The hotel is well placed with an on site dive centre (Dawn Dives Lanzarote) and the nearby Dive College Lanzarote - both get 5 star reviews on tripadvisor.
I followed both on a well known social media channel before deciding to to dive the hotel based Dawn Dives because:
- It's basic price for 10 dives is cheaper - that may prove to be a mistake depending on how many boat dives I do
- I'm lazy
- They posted more pictures of what I want to see - angel sharks and seahorses
So there we have it. I'm here and about to dive. If you want to know more about what I'll be diving because you can't wait then check out this handy Lanzarote Dive Guide.
*Yes, I know inexpensive is a relative term, but Lanzarote is a pretty affordable destination for many of us living in Europe.
