What people usually pay
Fuerteventura does not normally require a Bonaire-style island dive tag or general marine-park diving fee for standard guided recreational dives. The real planning items are Spain's recreational diving insurance requirement, any operator package costs, and Lobos authorization if you land on the protected island.
| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lobos Island visitor authorization | Free Selected day and visitor shift | Visitors landing on Isla de Lobos Natural Park | Where to pay | Authorization is separate from ferry or water-taxi transport. The system normally uses morning and afternoon visitor shifts, and applications open close to the visit date. Carry the QR or confirmation and matching ID. |
| Lobos ferry or water taxi | Varies by operator Chosen sailing or return ticket | Snorkelers, hikers, and day visitors traveling to Lobos | Corralejo ferry kiosks, operator websites, or tour desks | Transport does not replace the visitor authorization. Book earlier during holidays and windy weeks when capacity or sailing changes can affect plans. |
| Recreational diving insurance | Varies by insurer or dive-center day policy Per policy | Certified recreational divers | DAN Europe, other recognized insurers, or participating dive centers | Spain's recreational diving safety framework requires suitable accident and civil liability cover. Confirm whether your annual policy covers Spain, boat diving, freediving, and your planned depth. |
| Dive and course packages | Varies by operator Per dive, package, or course | Scuba divers, try divers, and freedive students | Local dive centers in Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma, La Lajita, and Morro Jable | Ask whether rental gear, computer, insurance, transfers, photos, and marine-site surcharges are included. Summer and Christmas periods can sell out. |
