6 Diving Sites Scuba Diving Package in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria rewards time underwater. This six-dive package from Delphinus School in Puerto de Mogán gives certified scuba visitors a practical way to see several Atlantic sites, including the Mogan Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, Mogan Caves, and Balito. Most boats visit two locations per day, so you can build a varied underwater program instead of repeating one nearby reef.

I like the choice of diving days, since you can usually arrange the package around your holiday, except Friday. I also like the personal support: a multilingual PADI professional accompanies every descent, and hotel transfers, weights, a belt, tanks, snacks, and drinks are included. The main drawback is cost. At $376, the package offers useful inclusions, but equipment rental, insurance, refresher training, and certain boat trips cost extra.

The warm, dry southwest of Gran Canaria makes Puerto de Mogán a sensible base for an underwater holiday. Still, this is not a casual resort activity. You need proof of certification, a completed health questionnaire, reasonable fitness, and a refresher session if you have not been underwater in more than six months.

Key points to know before booking

• Six underwater sessions across selected Gran Canaria sites: Possible locations include the Mogan Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, Mogan Caves, and Balito.
• Two sites are commonly visited per day: The schedule depends on boat operations and sea conditions, so ask the school to confirm your exact plan.
• Hotel pickup and return are included: The official meeting point is Delphinus School inside the Cordial Mogán Hotel.
• PADI guidance is included: Multilingual professional staff accompany the underwater sessions, with staff members such as Jore, Elisa, Alvaro, Elice, Jacob, and Bartek praised for patient, professional care.
• Extra costs can affect the final price: Full equipment costs €10 per day, insurance is €5 per day, and some locations require supplements.
• A six-month break triggers a €65 refresher session: Plan this before your package sessions, not after arriving at the boat.

Starting at Puerto de Mogán at 8:30 a.m.

Your morning begins at 8:30 a.m. at Delphinus School, inside the Cordial Mogán Hotel on Avenida Los Marrero. If your accommodation is covered by the transfer area, pickup and return make the morning easier, especially when you are carrying personal scuba equipment.

Puerto de Mogán is in Gran Canaria’s southwest, a part of the island known for warm, dry weather and easy access to the Atlantic. The school has more than 20 years of experience in scuba and tourism, and its setting gives you a convenient base for boat trips and local underwater sites.

The schedule is the part I would confirm carefully before paying. You choose your available days, but Friday is excluded, and Sunday has special day trips. Since most boats visit two locations per day, six sessions may be arranged over several outings rather than packed into one long day. The package is described as lasting approximately two days, but the exact timetable depends on the boat program and the days you select.

A small snack and drink are included. You are also advised to bring a lunch box. That is sensible. Two boat outings can make for a long morning, and the included refreshment is not meant to replace a full meal.

What the six sessions can include

The package offers access to a selection of sites rather than one fixed route. That flexibility is useful because weather, boat schedules, and local conditions can affect the final choice.

Mogan Wreck

The Mogan Wreck gives the package a clear point of interest for anyone who enjoys artificial structures underwater. A wreck can provide a different setting from open reef, with a more defined route and plenty to examine around the remains.

You should ask the guide how much of the wreck is suitable for your certification and experience. The supplied information does not promise penetration, and you should never assume that entering a wreck is part of a standard recreational session.

Pasito Blanco

Pasito Blanco is one of the named boat locations in the program. Its inclusion helps create variety across the six sessions, rather than making the package feel like six versions of the same local outing.

The exact underwater sights and route are not specified, so I would treat Pasito Blanco as part of the package’s flexible site menu. The guide will determine the practical plan based on conditions and the group’s level.

Arguineguin Reef

A reef site offers a change from the wreck and cave options. Arguineguin Reef is one of the possible locations, giving you another chance to see Gran Canaria’s Atlantic marine life in a more natural setting.

The school emphasizes the island’s underwater life and house reef locations, but no exact species list is provided. That means you should expect a natural marine environment rather than a guaranteed animal checklist. The guide can help you understand what you see without turning the session into a rushed sightseeing stop.

Bahia Lila and Balito

Bahia Lila and Balito are also listed among the possible stops. Their value lies partly in the range they add to the program. Six sessions are more rewarding when the scenery changes, and these sites may help break up the wreck, reef, and cave portions of the schedule.

The precise sequence is not fixed in the information provided. Ask which sites are operating during your dates, especially if you have a strong preference for a particular location.

Mogan Caves

Mogan Caves are likely to appeal to confident certified participants who enjoy rock formations and sheltered-looking underwater spaces. The word caves should not lead you to assume that technical cave work or enclosed penetration is included.

Your PADI guide will set the boundaries for safe recreational exploration. If you are new to the sport or recently returned after a long break, tell the staff early so the route can match your comfort and certification.

The staff support is a major strength

The strongest theme in the available feedback is staff care. Several team members are singled out for professional and friendly help, including Jore, Elisa, Adrian, Alvaro, Elice, Jacob, and Bartek.

Jore and Elisa are praised for helping newer participants feel supported. Alvaro, Elice, and Jacob receive particular praise for accompanying two wreck sessions. Adrian is noted for helping with schedules and online arrangements, which matters when you are trying to fit six sessions around flights, hotel plans, and sightseeing.

Bartek is also praised for attentive care, while the broader team receives positive comments about organization and equipment. I would not treat this as a promise that a specific staff member will be assigned to you, but it does suggest that the center places real weight on personal attention.

That is important in the Atlantic. You want a guide who will explain the plan, check your equipment, listen to concerns, and avoid treating the group as a production line. The package is not simply a tank rental. A PADI professional accompanies each session, and that support is included in the base price.

What is included, and what you still pay for

The $376 price covers the core structure of the package:

• Six scuba sessions
• Twelve-liter air tanks
• Twelve air tanks listed as included
• Weights and belt
• Multilingual PADI professional guide
• Hotel transfers
• Small snack and drink

The description also says 15-liter tanks are available on request. Ask about any price difference before booking if you need a larger tank.

Full equipment rental is not included. The stated rate is €10 per day, which is relatively modest, but you should confirm what the daily set covers. If you need equipment for more than one day, the total will rise.

Insurance is obligatory and can be purchased at the school for €5 per day. This is an important cost, not an optional luxury. A night session costs €15, with a torch available for another €5.

Certain excursions also carry supplements. The trip to El Cabron or Sardina costs €30 extra, while a trip to Las Palmas costs €55 extra. These locations may appeal to experienced visitors seeking a particular site, but I would ask whether they replace one of the standard package sessions or require an additional booking.

The $376 price is strongest for someone who already owns personal equipment, wants six sessions, and values transfers and a guide. It is less attractive if you need a complete rental set, insurance for several days, a refresher, and a premium site supplement. Before booking, request a simple total showing the base package and every likely add-on.

Certification, fitness, and the six-month rule

You need to show evidence of scuba certification for certified sessions. All participants also complete a health questionnaire before going underwater.

Some medical conditions, including asthma and heart problems, may prevent participation. If either applies to you, consult your doctor before making plans. The school also asks for a moderate level of physical fitness, so this is not a passive boat excursion.

The six-month rule deserves special attention. If you have not been scuba diving in the last six months, a €65 refresher session is mandatory before the package sessions. Do not assume that a past certification card removes this requirement.

That refresher is a useful safety measure, but it changes the price and timing. Tell the school about your last session when booking, and allow room in your schedule for it.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. The supplied information does not give a separate minimum age or children’s program, so families should ask the school directly before reserving.

Timing your package around flights

Do not schedule your final underwater session within 24 hours of flying. This matters when you are arranging six sessions around a short holiday.

If your trip is only two days, work backward from your departure time. The approximate duration listed for the package does not remove the need to check the final session time, boat return, hotel transfer, and airport plans.

The school offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Changes made inside that window are not accepted, and late cancellations are not refunded. Poor weather is handled differently: if the activity is canceled, you can receive a different date or a full refund.

Because sea conditions can affect schedules, keep some flexibility in your holiday. That is especially wise if you want to visit a particular site such as El Cabron, Sardina, or Las Palmas.

Who will get the most from this package?

I think this package suits certified scuba visitors who want several sessions without arranging each one separately. It is also a good fit for people staying near Puerto de Mogán who value pickup, a guide, and help building a schedule.

It may suit newer certified participants particularly well. The staff’s praised patience and the multilingual support can make the first few sessions feel less intimidating. The catch is the refresher requirement after a six-month pause, which adds cost but may be exactly what a returning participant needs.

Experienced scuba visitors may appreciate the variety of named sites and the option to request 15-liter tanks. You should still check the boat schedule and site supplements before assuming your favorite location is included.

This is not the best choice for someone who wants a casual one-hour introduction, has no certification, or needs a fully inclusive price with all equipment and insurance already folded in. It is also not ideal if your Gran Canaria schedule is so tight that you cannot allow for weather changes or the no-flying window.

Should you book the Puerto de Mogán package?

Book it if you want six organized sessions, can work around the Friday exclusion, and value a PADI guide, hotel transfers, and several possible Atlantic locations. The staff’s reputation for organization and personal care is the package’s biggest practical advantage.

Before paying, confirm four things: the exact dates, which sites are included, the total cost with equipment and insurance, and whether you need the €65 refresher. If the answers fit your schedule, the package offers a convenient way to spend serious time underwater around southwest Gran Canaria.

If you only want one or two sessions, compare the price with a smaller booking. But for a certified visitor planning several outings, this package is a sensible choice, with enough flexibility to make the most of Puerto de Mogán’s warm waters.
