Beginner try-scuba in Gran Canaria with free pickup, max-four PADI coaching, equipment and insurance included, and guided underwater wildlife.

“A fantastic first scuba diving experience for my 18 and 20 year old boys - would have come back for more if we could have fitted it in before the end of our holiday! Booking was easy and followed up by great communication from Mike to ensure everything was ready for the dive itself. Mike then came to collect them from the hotel in the morning and and took them to the dive site. Miguel expertly ran the dive session, ensuing they had a great experience and sharing so much information before delivering them back to the hotel mid afternoon. We will definitely be back for a full PADI course…”

We were in a cruise and had to bus it there which was easy to do but a bit close on arrival time. The instructors were great and made us feel very at ease 👍 highly recommended!”
