Viva Blue Diving<\/h2>\n\n \n<p class=\"vbd-faq-section-intro\">On 10 September 2026, we changed our name.\nHere\u2019s what that means for those who already knew us as Pura Vida Diving Lanzarote.<\/p>\n \n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <details>\n            You used to be Pura Vida Diving Lanzarote. What happened?\n <div class=\"vbd-faq-answer\">\n \n<p>Since 10 September 2026, Pura Vida Diving Lanzarote has been called Viva Blue Diving.<\/p>\n \n \n<p>It is not a new dive centre, nor has there been a change of ownership.\nWe are still at the same dive centre in Playa Blanca, with the same team and the same way of working. What has changed is our brand.<\/p>\n \n <\/div> \n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n            Why did you change the name?\n <div class=\"vbd-faq-answer\">\n \n<p>We wanted a brand that would work better internationally and reflect the evolution of the dive centre after years of welcoming divers from many different countries.<\/p>\n \n \n<p>Viva Blue keeps the energy and connection with the sea that have always been part of the dive centre, but with an identity that is easier to understand and pronounce, regardless of the language.<\/p>\n \n <\/div> \n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n            Is it still the same team?\n <div class=\"vbd-faq-answer\">\n \n<p>Yes. You\u2019ll find the same familiar faces, the same instructors and the same way of teaching and organising dives.<\/p>\n \n \n<p>Our approach to working with small groups also remains unchanged, as do our safety and training procedures.<\/p>\n \n <\/div> \n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n            I booked with Pura Vida Diving. Is my booking still valid?\n <div class=\"vbd-faq-answer\">\n \n<p>Yes. All bookings previously made with Pura Vida Diving Lanzarote remain valid with Viva Blue Diving.<\/p>\n \n \n<p>You do not need to make a new booking or take any action because of the name change.<\/p>\n \n <\/div> \n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n            My certification was issued when you were Pura Vida Diving. Is it still valid?\n <div class=\"vbd-faq-answer\">\n \n<p>Yes. Your certification was issued by the relevant training agency and does not depend on the dive centre\u2019s current trading name.<\/p>\n \n \n<p>The change from Pura Vida Diving Lanzarote to Viva Blue Diving does not affect the validity of any certifications obtained previously.<\/p>\n \n <\/div> \n        <\/details>\n\n        <details>\n            <summary>I was looking for you as Pura Vida Diving.
