What to do when you join us for diving trips
Diving must be fun and relaxed. Exactly what you can expect from Scuba Sur Diving Gran Canaria! In order to do a diving trip, we first meet in the office to complete the registration and agree on a planning. If you dived with us before, we have you data in our system, so paperwork is limited. After the registration, you prepare your gear for the dive. Our staff takes care of the logistics and transport. We provide you with a storage box to store all your belongings while you are diving. It will be locked in the center, dry and safe, waiting for your return. Once dressed up, we just have a 5 minutes walk to the boat where you get the safety and dive briefing. After the last check of all the equipment, weights and safety materials, we depart for the dive site.The planning
All dives are done with our 7.5 meter rib called YOLO-1, capable of taking up to 10 divers. We depart from the ANFI marina, a 5 minutes walk from our dive center. Our prices include all the boat fees, so no surprises at the end!In the mornings we only have certified divers on board. As such we dive at more distant places or at sites with greater depth, leaving port around 09:00. For organisational reasons we combine sites in the same direction for a double dive. After the first dive, during a 45 to 60 minutes surface interval, you swap cylinders while the staff briefs you on the second dive site. The return to the marina is expected around 12:30-13:00.In the afternoon we typically have a mixed group. Introduction divers, snorkellers and courses join the certified divers. Seen the mixed experiences and competences, we stay close to shore for a shallow dive. This allows snorkelers to enjoy their activities as well. We try to leave port for the afternoon activities around 14:00, expecting to be back around 16:00. |
