Daily diving trips in the south of Gran Canaria

What to do when you join us for diving trips

Diving must be fun and relaxed. Exactly what you can expect from diving trips at Scuba Sur Diving Gran Canaria! In order to do some diving trips, we first meet in the office to complete the registration and agree on a planning. If you dived with us before, we have your data in our system, so paperwork is limited. During these diving trips, relaxation and enjoyment are key.

After the registration, you prepare your gear for the dive. Our staff takes care of the logistics and transport for the diving trips. 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, ready for one of our thrilling diving trips.

The planning

All dives are done with our 7.5 meter rib called YOLO-II, capable of taking up to 10 divers on exciting diving trips. 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!

Our typical daily planning

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.

Bottom line – diving trips

• 2 dives in the morning, leaving port at around 09:00, back in port between 12:30 and 13:00
• 1 dive in the afternoon, leaving port at 14:00 and back at 16:00

Boat Dive Rules

We conduct all our dives in the safest way possible. Nevertheless, we want you to enjoy the dives fully. As such, the following rules apply for boat dives during our diving trips:

• A dive lasts a maximum of 50 minutes
• A dive ends at 50 bar remaining gas
• We do not enter into deco during our diving trips

Whatever comes first. You will be reminded of these rules prior to every dive.

The dive sites

We mainly dive in the south where we have about 30 documented dive sites. The sites vary in depth and type. There are volcanic reefs, artificial reefs, and wrecks, varying from 9 to close to 50 meters. Given the variety of sites, we offer something for every diver in our diving trips.

Below you find a small selection of some of the dive sites. Occasionally and on demand we can organize dives in the center and the north of the island. For some, we have partnerships with other centers allowing us to do some boat dives in the north as well.
