Such an amazing experience here! Marie, David and Arnaud were such great instructors! Very friendly, confident and calming. My partner was very nervous going into it, but they did such a great job to make her feel safe and confident for the dive! The dive itself was amazing, such a great diving spot around Isla de Lobos, we saw some incredible marine life!
What is this tour like?
Punta Amanay is an SSI centre in Corralejo, at the north end of Fuerteventura, and almost everything it does happens in the water around Isla de Lobos — the small volcanic island in the strait between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. The centre counts more than twenty sites there, with depths from six metres to over forty, and describes the seabed as white sand, lava formations and a wide variety of fish.
The day is built as two separate departures rather than one long trip. The 08:30 dive is reserved for more experienced divers; the 10:30 is open to certified divers of all levels. Because the boat comes back to the dive centre in between, you can book one or both. The whole thing takes about three hours.
One practical point the centre makes plainly, and it saves an argument at the quay: the boat dives in the waters around Lobos but never lands on the island, and it cannot pick anyone up or drop anyone off there. Lobos is a natural park with its own visiting rules; a dive trip is not a way in. Another: the boat is a rigid inflatable set up for diving, with few seats and those reserved for divers — a non-diving partner cannot simply come along for the ride.
On requirements, the centre is specific. You show a copy of a valid diving licence, digital or physical, and some sites call for an advanced level. You sign a health declaration, or bring a medical certificate if the questionnaire flags something. Diving insurance is compulsory — the centre quotes decree 550/2020, which requires accident and liability cover for anyone practising recreational diving in Spain — and it can be booked separately at the centre. Equipment rental is likewise a separate line, and the centre notes it rents gear only to its own divers.
One more thing worth timing a trip around: the centre's own FAQ says that if you are looking for angel sharks, come between November and February; spring brings very good visibility and active fauna, summer the warmest water, and September and October the calmest sea. On currents it is equally direct — this is the Atlantic, currents happen, conditions are checked on site, and if a site turns out to be too strong the boat moves.

Quick questions
What do guests say?
“Such an amazing experience here! Marie, David and Arnaud were such great instructors! Very friendly, confident and calming. My partner was very nervous going into it, but they did such a great job to make her feel safe and confident for the dive! The dive itself was amazing, such a great diving spot around Isla de Lobos, we saw some incredible marine life!”
“Would definitely recommend. As I'm 60 years old and never dived in the sea before I was a little apprehensive I'd have to say. But these people were brilliant. Very helpful and professional. The online sign-up process was great and they were always on WhatsApp with help and advice. Our guide Marie was great — she gave everyone the level of help they needed appropriate to level of experience. And a great dive site just off Los Lobos.”
“I spent two days diving with Punta Amanay. It was an absolutely great experience. All guides were professional, friendly and very helpful. All our dives brought something unique to see. The diving center has great facilities. I was quite surprised to find out that they have a private drying room, where you can leave your stuff to dry until the next dive day. They even let me use the drying room for two extra days when I was done with my dives.”
“We booked a dive and the guides were all very friendly, helpful and seemed competent. The dive site itself, with its rock formations and narrow passages, was genuinely exciting. What we liked less was the group size: one guide for five divers was too many in our view. In the narrow spots you often had fins in your face or were jostled by the person behind, which the guide could hardly keep an eye on. Next time we would ask about the group size in advance.”
“Excellent dive school in the town of Corralejo, in the north of Fuerteventura. Very professional; they answered very fast when I contacted them and booking was easy without having to change my plans. The instructors treat you well, the facilities are a ten, the equipment tidy and clean, they look after every detail. On the dive, the boat captain was superb and our instructor David likewise, always watching so the dive was as comfortable and safe as possible.”
