💍 A Ring, A Dive & A Vow: Why Lanzarote Is Perfect for Love (Above & Below the Surface)

What’s the last thing you expect to see on a dive?

For Manta Diving Lanzarote regular Paul, it was his wedding ring — slipping off his finger and landing gently on the seabed.

Thankfully, he was diving with Adam, one of Manta's experienced instructors, who watched the ring fall with him. The good news? It didn’t get lost in the current or buried in the sand.

A quick, careful recovery later — and the ring was back where it belonged.

Diving in Lanzarote — and Getting Married Here Too?

Paul had just tied the knot here in Lanzarote, with a relaxed, personal ceremony led by local celebrant Sarah. He and his partner are frequent visitors to the island — so it only made sense to celebrate in a place they already loved.

And while this dive nearly became a “lost at sea” story, it actually opened up a new conversation:

Why not combine your dive holiday with a wedding, elopement, or vow renewal?

Divers, Here’s an Idea 💡

If you’re already coming to Lanzarote for a dive trip — maybe it’s time to make it even more memorable.

Here’s what’s possible:

•  A sunset beach ceremony

• A clifftop ceremony overlooking your favourite dive site

• A post-dive vow renewal to celebrate your time together

• A simple, symbolic ceremony between dive days

• 
  

It’s low-pressure, high-impact — and entirely yours. No chair covers, no rigid schedules.

Just you, the island, and a few words that mean something.

Why It Works in Lanzarote

✅ You’re already relaxed — you’re diving, not dodging wedding seating plans 

✅ The island has stunning natural ceremony spots (many close to dive sites) 

✅ You can keep it small, private, and 100% stress-free 

✅ You’re in good hands — with dive professionals like the team at Manta, and a local celebrant who knows how to keep things personal and pressure-free

Thinking About It?

If this sparked an idea, you’re not alone. More and more divers are choosing to:

• Renew vows while on dive holidays

• Turn a dive trip into a mini elopement

• Celebrate big milestones with symbolic ceremonies by the sea

  
  

It doesn’t need to be a huge event — just meaningful, memorable, and set somewhere you already love: Lanzarote.

A Note from the Celebrant

Hi! I’m Sarah The Lanzarote Celebrant, and I was Paul’s celebrant here in Lanzarote. I work with couples from all over the world to create personal, laid-back ceremonies — whether it’s a wedding, elopement, or vow renewal.

You can find me here if you’re curious — or just ask the team at Manta to introduce us.

Thanks to Paul & Adam

Huge thanks to Paul for sharing the story (and keeping his cool as his ring took a detour!), and to Adam for the swift recovery — just one more example of why diving with Manta means you’re in capable, trusted hands.
