Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Lanzarote does not currently function like a destination with a universal arrival dive tag or island-wide marine park fee. The important cost items are Spanish-required diving insurance, operator-managed authorization for La Graciosa marine reserve scuba, guided access for Museo Atlantico, and ordinary tour, ferry, or attraction fees. Verify current fees with the operator because museum, boat, equipment, insurance, and reserve administration can be bundled differently.
