Benefits of diving in the El Cabrón Marine Reserve

The El Cabron Marine Reserve is the best place to dive in Gran Canaria

"Without doubt, one of the best diving spots in Gran Canaria" Descubre Gran Canaria bajo el mar. Every guidebook on diving in Gran Canaria and the Canaries will tell you that this is the very best spot on the Island for a range of dives.

  • The El Cabrón Marine Reserve has an international reputation for being the best dive site on the Island.
  • There are different dive routes for different grades of diver, from easy, up to challenging.
  • Both the variety and quantity of marine life always amazes divers new to the area.
  • Always a chance of 'big stuff' including Barracudas, 5 varieties of Stingray, AngelShark, 3 varieties of Moray, Sama, Tuna, and rare sightings of pelagic sharks and mantas.
  • Some rare and unusual 'little stuff' such as Sea-Horse, Canarian Lobsterette, Giant Anemone and Echiuida and red-legged octopus at night can be fascinating the first time you see them.

Prices for Scuba Diving Courses

The El Cabron Marine Reserve is the best place to learn to dive in Gran Canaria

The current prices for each course are shown individually on the relevant page in the training section, including details of what is included in the price. Click one of the links below to get the details of the course you are interested in.

For other courses see the Learn to Dive pages or contact us for more information using the link below.

The Abade Capitan is a rare colour variant of the normal Abade.

We accept payment in cash or cards from Visa, Mastercard, Switch/Maestro (but not American Express or Diners Cards). We have had problems processing 18-digit HSBC Maestro cards and cannot accept these. Note that the local banks charge us excessively to process travelers cheques (six percent!) so we advise our customers to change them first in their hotel or bank, which is usually commission free for the holder.

Our Price Promise

We believe that our prices are similar to most of the other professional diving schools in Gran Canaria, but depending on the package and the school we may appear to be a couple of Euro's more (or less!) expensive. We believe that our exceptional service, proximity to the reserve and great diving justify this. However if you dive with us and don't agree, then tell us (and why) and show us a competitive quotation for similar diving in the marine reserve and we will either refund the difference or charge you at the lower rate!
