Two guided boat dives off Gran Canaria—reef, wreck and wall sites typically at 16–18 m—run as a morning trip with kit prep at the centre and a return around 1pm. Ideal for certified divers wanting a compact day of varied Atlantic diving.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold Atlantic breeze pushes salt across the quay as the dive center team checks cylinders and rigs a day’s worth of exposure protection. You sign paperwork, clip your kit to the rail, and the boat—moored just outside the shop—cuts through blue toward rocky walls and scattered wreckage.

Check health restrictions early
Complete the dive medical questionnaire truthfully and consult a doctor if you have asthma, heart issues or recent surgery.
Plan surface-to-air timing
Avoid flying for at least 48 hours after your last dive to reduce decompression sickness risk.
Use a dive computer and SMB
A personal dive computer helps manage no-deco limits at 16–18 m, and a surface marker buoy aids safe boat pick-ups.
Mask, snorkel & fins
A properly fitted mask and efficient fins make boat entries and surface swims easier.
Wetsuit (3–5 mm)
Protects against temperature and abrasions on rocky reefs—thickness depends on season.
Dive computer
Tracks depth and no-decompression limits across both dives for safe profiling.
Surface marker buoy (SMB)
Improves visibility during ascents and helps the boat locate ascending divers.
