Thinking about scuba diving on holiday in Gran Canaria? Then don't miss the chance to explore the best dive sites, at the El Cabrón Marine Reserve, Gran Canaria!
  • El Cabrón is one of the top diving sites in Spain and the Canaries, and ranked in the top 100 worldwide
  • We are the closest dive center to this spectacular Marine Reserve.
  • We dive from our centre throughout the year in waters warmed by the gulf stream and our sunny weather.
  • Just 20 minutes from the main tourist centres of Playa del Ingles, Maspalomas and only forty minutes from Puerto Rico.
  • Lots of fabulous marine life and spectacular underwater scenery - full of surprises!
You can dive through huge shoals of tropical Damselfish throughout the reserve

Our diving centre is in Arinaga, right next to the Marine Reserve, which means that you can experience this fabulous treasure-trove of marine life and sample the exceptional diving opportunities within minutes of leaving our dive school. And because we dive here all the time our experts know how to make your day with us special, and show you some of the wonderful sights on any dive. It's great fun to dive in these subtropical waters, and we want to make sure you get more from your exploration of the reserve. And with our diving centre only a few minutes from the diving sites you can relax in comfort between your dives in the dive centre.

This small conger lives beneath the sand during the day

In the centre of the reserve, the Playa del Cabrón is a great place to learn to dive, on a BSAC or PADI Scuba Diving course, because it is sheltered and safe, yet has a prolific and colourful marine life. You can also take part in a more advanced course in the deeper waters, where some of the more unusual creatures are found, or take a snorkelling course or marine safari; and don't forget the advantages of our low VAT rate for buying your scuba diving equipment.
