Deep Diving Specialty Course with Pura Vida Diving in Las Palmas

Las Palmas, the vibrant capital of Gran Canaria in Spain’s Canary Islands, offers an aquatic playground prized by divers for its clarity and diverse underwater landscapes. Here, Pura Vida Diving presents the Curso Buceo Profundo, an SSI Deep Diving Specialty course designed to open the door to deeper, more challenging dives. This 9-hour course is ideal for certified divers ready to confidently extend their underwater range beyond 18 meters, unlocking new levels of marine discovery in the Atlantic’s temperate waters.

The underwater terrain off Las Palmas is characterized by volcanic rock formations and hidden caves that reflect the island’s volcanic origins. Diving deeper means encountering rare species like the dusky grouper or the colorful parrotfish against a backdrop of rugged seabeds and expansive drop-offs. The course equips divers with essential knowledge about deep diving physiology, planning, and safety protocols, reinforcing skills through three open water dives guided by experienced instructors.

Pura Vida Diving's location in Las Palmas anchors it as a key player in the region’s vibrant dive community. The company’s dedication to comprehensive training and small group sizes ensures personalized attention, making this specialty course accessible and rewarding. Their focus on safe techniques amid the unique local conditions—currents and visibility can vary dramatically—prepares divers not just to dive deeper, but to do so responsibly.

For adventure enthusiasts visiting Gran Canaria, this course is a gateway to advanced diving experiences not commonly offered in this part of the Atlantic. The blend of technical training, local marine biodiversity, and expert guidance positions Pura Vida Diving as a standout resource for divers seeking to elevate their skills while immersing themselves in one of Spain’s most dynamic underwater environments.
