6 Diving Sites Scuba Diving Package in Gran Canaria

The best reason to book this six-session scuba package is simple: it saves you from hunting for boat space once you arrive in Gran Canaria. Most boats visit two sites per day, so you can cover a useful mix of wrecks, reefs, caves, and coastal habitats in about two days.

I like the flexible schedule, since you can choose your days except Friday, and I like the practical inclusions: hotel pickup, a PADI guide, tanks, weights, a belt, snacks, and drinks. The main catch is that equipment rental and insurance cost extra, and anyone who has not been underwater in the last six months must pay for a refresher session first.

Key points to know before you book

• Six underwater sessions in about two days: Most boat outings visit two sites per day, giving you a full schedule without stretching the package over an entire week.
• A varied list of Atlantic sites: Possible locations include the Mogan Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, Mogan Caves, and Balito.
• Hotel transfers are included: Pickup and return help if you are staying outside Puerto de Mogán.
• PADI-led outings: Guides may include Jore, Elisa, Adrian, Alvaro, Elice, Jacob, or Bartek, depending on the day and group.
• Bring proof of certification: Certified participants must show evidence of qualification and complete a health questionnaire.
• Budget for extras: Full equipment costs €10 per day, insurance is €5 per day, and selected sites carry additional charges.

Why six sessions make sense in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is not only a beach stop. Its southwest coast has warm, dry weather for much of the year and access to Atlantic sites close to Puerto de Mogán. A package lets you make the underwater side of your holiday a real part of the trip rather than squeezing in one morning at the last minute.

At $376, this is a serious purchase, but the value depends on how much of the included package you use. You receive six guided sessions, tanks, weights, a belt, snacks, drinks, and hotel transfers. If you already own your equipment and complete all six sessions, the price is easier to justify.

You should also add the costs that are not included. Full equipment rental is listed at €10 per day, and dive insurance is obligatory at €5 per day, with insurance available through the school. A refresher costs €65 if you have been out of the water for more than six months.

The package suits certified people who want several outings and do not want to organize each one separately. It is less appealing if you only want one short underwater excursion, if you are traveling on a tight budget, or if you need to rent equipment for many days.

Starting at Puerto de Mogán at 8:30 am

The meeting point is the Delphinus School inside the Cordial Mogán Hotel, at Avenida Los Marrero 2 in Puerto de Mogán. The scheduled start is 8:30 am, and the activity returns to the same meeting point after the day’s work.

Hotel pickup and return are included, which is useful if you are staying away from the harbor. You should confirm your pickup details in advance, since the published meeting point and transfer service are not quite the same thing.

The school has more than 20 years of experience in scuba and tourism, and the setting in Puerto de Mogán keeps the daily routine straightforward. You check in, sort out paperwork and equipment, meet your guide, and prepare for the day’s sites.

The supplied information says the maximum is one traveler. That is an unusual limit for a package like this, so I would confirm the group arrangement before paying if you are booking with a companion. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and all participants must complete a health questionnaire before entering the water.

What a typical two-day schedule looks like

The package includes six sessions, usually arranged as two boat sites per day. The precise order depends on weather, sea conditions, the day’s boat plan, and the group’s experience.

A likely pattern is three days of two outings, but the description specifically presents the package as lasting about two days and says most boats visit two sites per day. Because the timing is not laid out hour by hour, you should treat the schedule as flexible rather than guaranteed.

You can choose your days according to your holiday plans, except Friday. Special day trips depart on Sundays. This flexibility is a real benefit if you are building a longer Gran Canaria itinerary, but leave space around the sessions rather than scheduling another fixed activity immediately afterward.

A lunch box is advised. Snacks and a drink are supplied, but that may not replace a full meal after several hours in the water. You should also avoid flying within 24 hours of your last session, an important detail if Gran Canaria is the final stop on your trip.

Mogan Wreck and the appeal of wreck sites

The Mogan Wreck is one of the more distinctive possibilities in the program. A wreck gives you something specific to explore rather than an open stretch of seabed, and it can add interest for certified people who enjoy structure and orientation underwater.

The exact route, depth, and conditions are not provided, so do not assume that every package reaches the wreck. It is one of the possible sites, not a guaranteed stop. Ask the school which sites are planned for your dates if the wreck is a major reason for booking.

The package also lists two Mogan Caves. Caves require careful attention to the guide and local conditions, and you should ask whether the planned route is an open cavern or a more enclosed section. The supplied details do not define the route, so a clear briefing matters.

These sites show why a guided package can be more useful than trying to arrange independent outings. The guide handles the local plan while you concentrate on certification, comfort, and air management.

Reefs, bays, and coastal sites

Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, and Balito add variety beyond wrecks and caves. Reef and coastal sites can offer a different type of session, with natural underwater features replacing the man-made lines of a wreck.

The description does not promise particular species or a fixed marine-life list. That is worth noting, since Atlantic conditions change and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. You should book this for the overall range of sites and the repeated time underwater, not for one specific animal.

The southwest location is practical. The school describes warm weather for much of the year, beaches nearby, house-reef sites, and boat logistics designed around Puerto de Mogán. Those details matter because a good scuba holiday is partly about reducing friction between outings.

If you want a special excursion to El Cabrón or Sardina, there is a €30 supplement. A trip to Las Palmas costs an additional €55. These charges can make sense if you are keen to see a different part of the island, but they change the value calculation. The basic package is built around the Puerto de Mogán area, not every major site on Gran Canaria.

Guides, instruction, and the human side

Every session is accompanied by a multilingual PADI professional guide. That gives you a qualified point of contact for briefings, local conditions, and the practical details of getting in and out of the water.

Several staff members are named in the supplied material. Jore and Elisa are associated with patient instruction, while Adrian is described as helping with office arrangements and scheduling. Alvaro, Elice, and Jacob are connected with guided wreck outings, and Bartek is singled out for attentive care.

Those names are useful when you contact the school, but staffing can change. You should not book on the assumption that one particular guide will lead your session unless the school confirms it.

The strongest pattern in the feedback is professionalism and personal attention. One participant described the instructors as especially helpful for someone new to the sport, while other comments point to caring service, good organization, and a friendly base. That makes this package a reasonable choice if you want guidance rather than a bare boat transfer.

The package is not designed as a private lesson by default. The information says each session has a PADI guide, but it does not promise one-to-one instruction or a private boat. If you are newly certified, nervous, or returning after a long break, ask about the level of supervision before booking.

Equipment and the extra costs that matter

The package includes 12-liter air tanks, weights, and a belt. The published details also say 15-liter tanks are available on request, though you should ask whether an additional fee applies.

Complete equipment rental is €10 per day. The list does not break that price down by mask, suit, regulator, fins, or computer, so confirm exactly what the set includes. If you bring your own equipment, check which pieces the school still requires you to use or inspect.

Insurance is obligatory. You can arrange it through the school at €5 per day, which is a small but necessary addition to the advertised price. This is one of the costs that can surprise people who focus only on the package total.

A night outing is optional at €15, with a torch costing another €5. The six-session package itself appears to focus on daytime outings, so treat the night option as an add-on rather than part of the standard plan.

A refresher session is mandatory after more than six months without scuba. It costs €65 and should be completed before the package begins. This rule is particularly important if you last went underwater during a previous holiday and have not practiced since.

Who will get the most from this package

I would recommend this to a certified person who wants several sessions, prefers a managed schedule, and is staying in or near the southwest of Gran Canaria. It also fits someone who values hotel transfers and a multilingual PADI guide more than the lowest possible price.

It can work well for a newly certified person who wants supportive supervision, provided the school confirms the group level and the planned sites. The positive staff feedback suggests a warm, attentive atmosphere, but you should still be honest about your experience and comfort in the health questionnaire.

It is not a good fit if you have only one free morning. Six sessions need time, and the package makes sense because you use most of them. It is also a poor choice if you are not medically ready, cannot show certification for certified scuba, or plan to fly home immediately afterward.

Physical fitness needs to be moderate. Certain medical conditions, including asthma and heart problems, may prevent participation, so consult a doctor before booking if you have concerns. This is not a formality to ignore.

Booking flexibility and weather rules

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund.

The activity depends on suitable weather. If poor conditions cause cancellation, you can take another date or receive a full refund. That policy is fair, but it also means you should avoid placing all six sessions at the very end of a short holiday.

Confirmation is provided at booking, and the experience uses a mobile ticket. Public transportation is nearby, although the included hotel transfer may be easier if your accommodation is covered by the pickup area.

How to prepare for the morning

Bring proof of certification, a lunch box, swimwear, and any personal equipment you prefer to use. Plan for a full morning or longer, since the boat may visit two sites and the exact return time is not stated.

Tell the school about your recent experience honestly. If you have been out of the water for over six months, budget for the €65 refresher rather than treating it as an unexpected penalty.

Check the final price with the school if you need equipment, insurance, a larger tank, a night outing, El Cabrón, Sardina, or Las Palmas. These extras are clearly listed, and asking early will help you compare the package with booking individual outings.

Should you book the six-session package?

Book it if you want Gran Canaria to be a real scuba stop, not just a beach holiday with one quick outing. The combination of six guided sessions, hotel transfers, tanks, weights, and access to varied sites gives the package practical value for certified people who will use it fully.

Skip it if you are short on time, flying soon after the activity, or likely to complete only one or two sessions. Also pause if the extra fees for equipment, insurance, a refresher, or special sites push the total beyond your budget.

For the best fit, contact Delphinus before arrival, confirm the dates, ask which sites are planned, check the pickup area, and clarify the equipment package. If those details suit your schedule, this is a well-organized way to spend two active days in Gran Canaria’s Atlantic waters.
