PADI Diving School in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

If you are looking for a PADI Dive centre where you can join in our diving activities and be actively welcomed; or looking for a diving school which can help you extend your diving skills with PADI courses, but keep to small group sizes and high teaching standards, then look no further. Davy Jones Diving in Arinaga is one of the leading PADI Five Star Resorts in the Canary Islands, where great diving, a warm welcome and professional training standards are all applied.
  • All of our staff are experienced, mature, PADI Instructors or Divemasters
  • All of our dives are no-decompression dives within safe recreational limits
  • We dive in one of the Canaries (and probably Europe's) most spectacular dive sites, the El Cabrón Marine Reserve in Arinaga.
  • We keep our course sizes small so that you get the most out of the course
  • We set ourselves high standards for professionalism which many divers recognise and compliment us on.
  • Our guided groups maintain good instructor to diver ratios to make your experiences more personal and enjoyable.
We try to make everyone welcome in our dive school, no matter how much or how little experience you have. If you have only taken an experience programme such as Discover Scuba Diving, then we may be able to credit that towards a course. If you have not dived since taking your Open Water, then no problem, we will happily give you an instructor escorted dive or a refresher to help you build your diving confidence. We offer all the main PADI training courses, the most popular being:
