8 tours · €75–€455 per person · ★ 4.9
Scuba diving in Gran Canaria is based around Puerto Rico, Amadores and Puerto de Mogán, and the 8 dives here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €75 per person for a snorkelling safari with a wetsuit and hotel pickup to €455 for a three day PADI Open Water course with four sea dives and certification. Most bookings are try dives for complete beginners: a briefing, skills in shallow water and a guided dive along the reefs with parrot fish, rays and moray eels, in groups kept small on purpose. Certified divers get two dive packages on reefs, walls and a wreck, with or without equipment hire.
A quick way to choose: check whether pickup is included, since some schools collect from the southern resorts and others do not, and plan your flights, because every dive asks for a gap before flying and the course asks for two days. The best reviewed diving tours in Gran Canaria come first below.
