History
Gran Canaria’s coastline is volcanic in origin; historical fishing villages adapted to strong currents and rocky shores, and modern dive sites often follow old fishing grounds.
Conservation
Many local sites benefit from fishing restrictions and community monitoring—respect no-take zones, don’t touch marine life and use reef-safe sunscreen to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the 2 Dive Package for Qualified Divers in Gran Canaria today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring your certification card
Instructors must verify your PADI or equivalent certification—have your card or PADI Pro lookup ready to avoid delays.
Check sea conditions
Currents and surge vary by site—ask guides about drift or wall dives and plan accordingly if you’re less experienced with currents.
Surface-interval hydration
The boat provides water and a snack—drink before dives and during the surface interval to reduce fatigue and cramps.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin from sun and protect the marine environment—choose a non-oxybenzone sunscreen and reapply on the boat.
Personal mask and snorkel
A well-fit mask improves comfort and vision—rental masks are available but personal gear reduces fog and fit issues.
Dive computer
Tracks depth and no-decompression limits for two consecutive dives and increases safety in variable site profiles.
3–5mm wetsuit
Water temps vary seasonally; a 3mm is common in summer, 5mm is more comfortable in winter or cooler thermoclines.
