in Gran Canaria
with the local experts!
- 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!
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.
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.

Our experts will help you explore the stunning subaqua scenery of the marine park with it's caves, arches swim-throughs and walls, and we might show you schools of barracuda, a giant fish ball, the sedate glide of a sting-ray or angelshark, the unique beauty of a seahorse or a cuttlefish effortlessly changing colour. Every guided dive in the El Cabrón Marine Reserve will enhance your understanding of the complex ecosystems in marine environments. We also organise deep dives, wreck dives, night dives and special dives for underwater photographers to offer a full range of diving options. Our divers tell us that this site is better than any on Tenerife or the other Canary Islands due to the quantity of marine life and huge diversity of species.
To help you get the best out of your visit to the reserve, we aim to give a complete service which includes:
- Free collection service
- Freephone service for easy contact
- Divers information centre
- We are Authorised by the Canarian Government to offer diving excursions and diver training.
- Awarded PADI 'Certificate of Excellence'
- The only PADI 5-star Gold Palm diving school on Gran Canaria's east coast.
- The only BSAC Premier Centre on this Canary Island.
- Over 100 pages of information in this website about diving here!
In the present 'credit crunch' you don't waste any of your hard earned diving money by not getting to see the best dive site on Gran Canaria. Why put up with sites with only meagre fish life when you can dive in the Marine Reserve? If you browse through the photo gallery, or look at the dive sites, you will get a good feel for the marine life and variety here.
So get in contact with us now, by email, fax or phone, and our experts will arrange your exploration plan in one of Europe's best dive locations. Remember that we operate a free collection service! If you are anywhere in Maspalomas, Playa del Ingles, Sonnenland, San Agustin, San Fernando, El Tablero, Bahia Feliz, Vecindario, Agüimes, and Meloneras, then it takes an average transfer time of about 25 minutes. If you want to come diving from Puerto Rico, Taurito, Anfi del Mar, Patalavaca, Arguineguine then we can still collect you, free of charge, and it will only take about 45 minutes.
