Enjoy some of the
best scuba diving in Gran Canaria.
Explore the 'El Cabrón' Marine Reserve with our experts

Are you looking for the best places to dive in Gran Canaria? then don't miss the world famous "El Cabrón" or Arinaga Marine Reserve. The combination of warm subtropical waters, dramatic underwater scenery and abundant and varied marine life have made this the most popular dive site on Gran Canaria, and our PADI centre is right next to it.
When you explore this 'hot-spot' of marine life, you will be amazed by the diversity and quantity of marine life, and you might encounter anything from angel sharks and butterfly rays, through bright red parrotfish or shimmering shoals of roncadors, down to seahorses, beautiful coloured nudibrachs and even the occasional turtle. As our mature professional instructors dive here all year round you can rely on their expert local knowledge to show you the hidden secrets and 'special places' in the El Cabrón Marine Reserve.

Large hermit crabs (Dardanus calidus) are frequently found on night dives

We are the closest PADI diving centre to this amazing dive site, and because we dive here every day, our expert professional instructors know the highlights, the sights and the secrets better than anyone else. We are both a PADI 5-star Gold Palm resort and a BSAC Premier Centre,and can offer a great experience for everyone from complete beginners up to experienced divers. We are a family friendly centre where your safety is very important, so whether the family dives or not, we aim to keep everyone happy by having lots of information on other things to do and see here in Gran Canaria.

The first time you explore the subtropical waters of Gran Canaria you will be amazed not only by the huge shoals of fish but also the variety of species, from minute hermit crabs up to angel sharks. The relatively low levels of sea urchins, and good plankton production, means that this area still has thriving habitats and good biodiversity compared to many of the other dive sites on the island.

The brightly coloured parrotfish (Sparisoma cretense) is emblematic of the Marine Reserve
