If you wish to become a friend of the Museo Atlántico and contribute to this cause, you can do so through the account amigosdelma@centrosturísticos.com. When you make your first donation you will receive a friend card from the Museo Atlántico and will be informed of the projects to which the donations are dedicated.

ReservationsThe visit to the Museo Atlántico is only possible with a prior reservation through the authorized Diving Centres (EOMA), accredited by the Museo Atlántico - you can consult the accredited companies on the Museo Atlántico website www.cactlanzarote.com. The Centres have accredited dive guides - EDG (Eco Dive Guide), whose role is to ensure that you practice sustainable diving or snorkelling, allowing you to enjoy this unique project of art and nature in the Museo Atlántico, while guaranteeing its conservation. Please follow the instructions of your EDG at all times.

Time of visit1 hour maximum in the water. The departure is from Marina Rubicón port in the south of the island as well as the ports of Playa Blanca, Puerto Calero and Corralejo (see map for the Museum location), always accompanied by your accredited EDG - even if you practice snorkelling.

Sustainable Tourism

Protection of sculptures

Remember that you are entering a museum with works of art, so YOU MUST NEVER TOUCH THE SCULPTURES. You should also pay attention to the following indications if you practice diving:

• Maintain good buoyancy control. You must ensure to keep a distance from the bottom and from the sculptures allowing you to satisfy your curiosity, but avoiding touching the seabed and sculptures at all times. Therefore, it is vital that you bear in mind that it is FORBIDDEN TO DIVE BETWEEN THE SCULPTURES.

• Over time, the sculptures will create a marine habitat that we must preserve by avoiding all contact with the sculptures since they will probably serve as a shelter from light (sciophilous) and predators to those living beings. Ophiuroids, nereidae or crabs have a miniature ecosystem which must be preserved.

• The itinerary defined and indicated by the EDG must be followed, starting the dive at the marked point indicating the entrance and ending the tour in the exit area.

PhotographsRemember you are entering a museum whose works are protected by copyright. Photography is permitted for personal use, but not for commercial use. If you wish to use them for commercial purposes, you must contact [email protected]
