Six tank sessions. One great base.

This package is a smart way to stack a lot of underwater time in Gran Canaria without wasting vacation days on last-minute logistics, all starting from Puerto de Mogán. It’s built around a UNESCO biosphere-area dive region that’s popular, so booking ahead helps you actually get on the boat. I like that you can pick your travel days (with one clear skip day) and the schedule is designed so you’ll fit multiple site visits into two days.

Two things I really like: the hotel pickup and drop-off makes the morning stress-free, and the package includes 12-liter air tanks plus weights and belt so you can travel lighter. You also get a multilingual PADI guide for each session, which matters when you want your time underwater to feel safe and well run.

The main tradeoff: you’re paying a package price, but you may still need to add costs for equipment rental, required insurance, and (in some cases) a refresher session if you haven’t been underwater recently.

Key things to know before you lock in your dates

• Pick your days, skip Friday: your plan runs on almost any day except Friday, with special Sunday day trips.
• Two days, six tank sessions: most boats run two sites per day, and the sessions are stacked across the schedule.
• 12 air tanks included: you bring the person; they handle the tank setup, weights, and belt.
• Optional upgrades can add cost: you can add specific trips like El Cabron or Sardina, or a Las Palmas supplement.
• A small schedule rule that affects planning: scuba sessions within 24 hours of flying aren’t recommended.
• Your experience is tied to conditions: the activity needs good weather, and the operator may shift dates or refund if it can’t run.

Puerto de Mogán is the start line (and it helps a lot)

Puerto de Mogán is a strong choice for this kind of package because it keeps your mornings organized. The meeting point is inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel (Av. Los Marrero, 2), and the start time is listed as 8:30 am, so you’re not waiting around all day.

You’re also not dealing with a giant day-tour commute. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, which is a big deal on a two-day plan where every hour matters.

How the two-day plan really works

This is sold as a six tank session package spread across about 2 days. The key schedule idea is simple: boats usually visit two sites per day, and you’ll stack multiple underwater sessions across those stops.

You choose your days (except Friday), based on what’s available on your travel dates. That flexibility is useful if you want to time your trip around weather, or if you’re juggling other Gran Canaria plans.

There’s also a note that special day trips depart Sundays, so if your schedule has you thinking about a weekend, you may get better options by aiming for that timing rather than trying to force Friday.

The site lineup: what each stop can mean for your underwater goals

You’re not guaranteed every single named location every time, but the package lists a set of possible sites. Think of these as different “flavors” of underwater scenery, so you can choose the type you care about most.

Mogan Wreck

This one is all about a man-made structure underwater. If you like photo opportunities with clear points of reference, wreck stops often deliver strong visuals because there’s something definite to look at.

Pasito Blanco

A beach-adjacent option name that suggests an easygoing spot type. If you want a stop that’s more straightforward than technical terrain, Pasito Blanco is the kind of site you might hope for in your rotation.

Arguineguin reef

A reef stop is usually where you go when you want natural structure and typical reef-life moments. The reef name also signals you may be traveling a bit less “industrial” and more “natural patterns.”

Bahia Lila

Another site name on the list, and this is typically the category of location people book when they want a change from the wreck/reef mix. Since conditions drive the final call, it’s smart to treat this as a bonus stop that rounds out your week.

Mogan caves

Caves add a different mood. If you like contrast from light to shadow or the feeling of being under a different kind of underwater ceiling, a caves option tends to bring variety to a package.

Balito

Balito is listed as part of the set of possible sites, which makes it a “could be on your schedule” option rather than a sure thing. In practice, you’ll like it most if you’re staying open-minded and trusting the guide to match sites to conditions.

Optional add-ons: El Cabron or Sardina, plus a Las Palmas supplement

Two supplements are listed if you want specific extra trips:

• El Cabron or Sardina supplement: listed as 30 Euro
• Las Palmas supplement: listed as 55 Euro

Those add-ons are worth considering if you’re the type who can’t stop comparing sites day to day and you want extra reach beyond the Puerto de Mogán rotation.

What you get included: where the package value is hiding

The pricing is $376 for the six-session package, and the value is mostly in what’s bundled.

You get:

• Multilingual PADI professional guide
• 12-liter tanks with air, and 15-liter on demand
• Weights and belt
• Transfers from and back to your hotel
• A small snack and drink

Why that matters: if you show up without gear, without a tank setup, and without transport, a “six-session” plan can balloon in cost fast. Here, the operator handles the big moving pieces you’d otherwise have to organize yourself.

The 12-liter tanks also matter for comfort. If you’re switching between sites and wanting enough time underwater per session, having the tank sizes included helps remove one more uncertainty from the schedule.

Instructors and the team vibe: what the names tell you

The strongest praise in the feedback centers on instructors who run the show with calm professionalism. You’ll see named mentors credited like Jore and Elisa, and you’ll also see Adrian praised for helping with schedule and online booking before you even arrive.

On the boat-side support, names like Alvaro, Elice, and Jacob come up for accompaniment and guidance. Another name you’ll find attached to care and organization is Bartek.

That naming detail is surprisingly useful. It suggests the crew actually sticks to their roles and you’re not just assigned to a rotating anonymous group.

Equipment, insurance, and the costs you should budget up front

This package includes weights and belt, but it does not include full equipment rental.

Plan for:

• Equipment rental: 10 Euro per day
• Dive insurance: obligatory, and you can purchase it at the club for 5 Euro/day
• Optional night underwater session: 15 Euro, and the torch is 5 Euro (torch required for the night session)

There’s also a refresher requirement that can change your budget:

• If it’s been more than 6 months since your last underwater activity, a refresher session is mandatory at a separate cost: 65 Euro

Add-ons can also increase your total:

• 30 Euro for El Cabron or Sardina
• 55 Euro for Las Palmas

For value-minded planning: if you already have your own gear and your insurance is sorted, the package price is easier to justify. If you need rental and you don’t have insurance yet, budget for those additions before you commit.

Timing: start at 8:30 and keep your day flexible

You start at 8:30 am at the Cordial Mogan Hotel meeting point area. That early start is typical for boat trips, and it means you should expect a full morning and likely a long day depending on how the sites are scheduled.

The plan also has a travel-timing guideline: scuba sessions within 24 hours of flying aren’t recommended. If your flight lands late, this is your cue to add a buffer night rather than forcing it.

What to pack (and what to be ready for)

The essentials you should bring or prepare:

• Proof of your scuba certification (required for certified participants)
• A completed health questionnaire (required before diving/scuba sessions)
• Evidence of any medical notes if you’ve had issues like asthma or heart conditions (the questionnaire and your doctor matter here)
• A lunch box is advised by the operator

You’ll also want moderate physical fitness. The listing doesn’t describe it in medical terms, but it does say you should have a moderate physical fitness level for this activity.

If you’re bringing family: children must be accompanied by an adult.

Who this suits best in Gran Canaria

This is a strong fit if:

• You already have scuba certification and want guided structure over two days
• You want hotel pickup and you’re trying to reduce “what time do we meet” stress
• You want a mix of site types (wreck, reef, caves) using a pre-booked schedule

It’s also a good choice if you value professional coaching. The center’s description notes they also teach PADI courses for beginners, but this specific package clearly requires evidence of certification for certified participation. If you don’t have certification yet, you may need a separate course plan rather than relying on this package.

One more note: the listing shows a maximum of 1 traveler. That can mean you might get a more personal feel, but it could also just reflect how the service is categorized for bookings. Either way, it’s a sign this can be run more like a focused experience than a giant crowd event.

Practical drawbacks to take seriously

Here’s what can trip people up:

• Friday is excluded, so you may need to shift your vacation rhythm.
• Your total cost can rise with rental, insurance, and refresher requirements.
• Weather matters. The experience requires good conditions, and if it can’t run due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Also, the schedule depends on the boat plan and conditions, so don’t treat the six named locations as a guaranteed checklist. Treat them as a menu of likely stops, and go with a flexible mindset.

Final call: should you book this six-session Puerto de Mogán package?

If you want maximum underwater time with minimal logistics pain, I’d say yes—especially because the package includes tanks, weights, belt, and hotel transfers. The PADI guide support and the strong praise around named instructors like Jore, Elisa, Adrian, Alvaro, Elice, Jacob, and Bartek are exactly the kind of signals that point to a well-run operation.

I’d think twice if:

• You need lots of add-ons (rental plus insurance plus a refresher), which can push the real cost up.
• Your schedule is tight around Friday.
• You’re flying in and out with no buffer night, since sessions within 24 hours of flying aren’t recommended.
