History
Puerto de Mogán evolved from a fishing harbor into a small tourism port; its breakwater and marina shape the local dive access from sheltered boats.
Conservation
Many dive sites are sensitive volcanic reef with slow-growing life—practice neutral buoyancy, avoid contact and use reef-safe sunscreen to minimize impact.

Bring the essentials
Wear a swimsuit under quick-dry clothes and bring a towel—the operator supplies all scuba gear but you’ll be in and out of water all day.
Hydrate and rest
Dehydration increases risk of fatigue and ear problems; drink water and get a good night’s sleep before each training day.
Mind the 24-hour rule
Avoid flying or high-altitude travel for at least 24 hours after your last dive to reduce decompression risk.
Prepare medical info
Complete the health questionnaire honestly and bring documentation if you have asthma, heart issues or recent surgery.
Swimsuit
Wear under a wetsuit or rashguard for confined sessions and boat runs.
Towel and quick-dry clothing
Useful between sessions and for post-dive comfort on boats or the quay.
Reef-safe sunscreen and sun hat
Protects skin during surface intervals and transit on sunny days.

Prescription mask or dive logbook (if applicable)
