Firstly I would like to congratulate you for thinking about trying scuba diving in Gran Canaria and we would love to have you join us!
As with anything new you may have some questions or maybe even some last minute nerves before booking.

WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR A DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING LESSON?
If you would like to join us please send us an email or a WhatsApp message with the date you would like to try diving.
When we have answered all of your questions and you are happy to book your dive, we will send you a quick Google form to get all your details. This form will allow us to get the name of your Hotel for your collection, your equipment sizes and a few more details to help the day run smoothly!
After this, we will send you a deposit link of 20 euros per person to reserve your place. The deposit is refundable up to 72 hours before your excursion.
After your collection we will transport you back to the dive centre to have a coffee, complete the necessary paperwork and try on your equipment. Then we will drive to the dive site for your discover scuba diving lesson.
The collections start each morning at 8 AM (Depending on your hotel) and you are dropped back to your hotel at approximately 12:30pm.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE ARE THE DIVE SITE?
The adventure begins with a 20-minute drive from our diving center to the dive site. Upon arrival, your instructor will lead a 40-minute briefing, covering everything you need to know before entering the water. This includes essential scuba techniques such as how to swim while scuba diving, equalize your ears and airspaces, clear your mask if needed, and how to communicate using underwater hand signals. You’ll also learn how to retrieve your regulator if it comes loose, ensuring you feel fully prepared and confident.
Once everything is clear, we’ll gear up and enter the water. The first part of the dive takes place in shallow water (around 2 meters deep), where you’ll practice key diving skills and get comfortable with the equipment. When you’re ready, we’ll gradually move into deeper water, where you’ll experience the unique sensation of weightlessness and explore the marine environment. Along the way, you may encounter fascinating sea life such as octopuses, cuttlefish, rays and much more
The dive itself lasts approximately 50 minutes, depending on air consumption. After resurfacing, your instructor will assist you out of the water and back to the van, where you’ll have time to rest and enjoy a light snack before we return to your hotel.
