6 Diving Sites Scuba Diving Package in Gran Canaria

The best feature of this Gran Canaria package is its variety. Across six underwater sessions, you may visit the Mogan Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, Mogan Caves, or Balito, depending on sea conditions and the schedule. Most boats visit two sites per day, so this is built for people who want regular time in the Atlantic rather than a single introductory outing.

I like the flexible timing, since you can choose your days except Friday, and I like that hotel pickup, air tanks, weights, belts, snacks, and drinks are included. The package also puts a PADI guide with you, which is useful when sites vary from wrecks to caves and reef areas.

The main catch is the extra cost of equipment rental, insurance, certain sites, and a refresher session. You also need proof of certification, and anyone who has not been underwater for more than six months must pay for a refresher before using the package.

Key points to know before booking

• Six sessions over about two days: Most boats visit two sites each day, making this a full schedule rather than a casual add-on.
• A varied list of sites: Wrecks, caves, reefs, and sheltered coastal areas give you more than one type of Atlantic setting.
• Hotel transfers are included: Pickup and return simplify the morning, especially if you are staying outside Puerto de Mogán.
• PADI guidance is provided: Multilingual professional guides accompany the sessions, with staff including Jore, Elisa, Alvaro, Jacob, and Bartek.
• Extra costs can change the final price: Equipment, mandatory insurance, refresher training, and selected trips are not covered by the $376 base price.
• Friday is excluded: You select your available days, but regular sessions do not run on Friday. Special Sunday trips are available.

What the $376 package really gives you

At $376, this is not a cheap one-off activity. It makes more sense if you already hold a recognized certificate and plan to use most or all six sessions. You are paying for repeated access to the water, guided site visits, transfers, and the basic items needed to take part.

The package includes 12-liter air tanks, with 15-liter tanks available on request. It also includes weights and a belt. The information lists 12 air tanks with the package, so ask the school how those tanks are allocated across your six sessions before you arrive. That small check will remove any confusion about the equipment plan.

Complete equipment rental costs 10 euros per day. That is a modest daily charge compared with the package price, but it matters if you are not bringing your own gear. Mandatory insurance can be purchased at the school for 5 euros per day, though the package price does not include it.

Several outings carry a supplement. El Cabrón or Sardina costs 30 euros extra, while a trip to Las Palmas costs 55 euros extra. A night session costs 15 euros, with the torch adding 5 euros. These charges can make the package less attractive if you expect every possible site to be included.

I would treat the $376 price as a starting figure. Add the equipment rental, insurance, and any special trips you want. If you need a refresher, add another 65 euros. Ask for the complete total before setting your budget.

Starting at Puerto de Mogán at 8:30

The meeting point is Delphinus Diving School inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel at Avenida Los Marrero 2, in Puerto de Mogán. The listed start time is 8:30 a.m. The activity ends back at the meeting point, while hotel transfers are included for the wider pickup and return service.

Puerto de Mogán is a practical base for this kind of program. The school has operated in the area for more than 20 years, and the location keeps the morning routine straightforward. You will check in, complete the required health questionnaire, and confirm your certification before heading out.

The schedule is not a fixed sightseeing tour with every stop guaranteed. You choose your available days except Friday, and the school assigns sites according to the boat plan and conditions. Most boats visit two places per day, so six sessions usually take about two days when the schedule lines up.

The listing states a maximum of one participant. That is unusual for a package of this type, so I would confirm the current group arrangement when booking. It may reflect the way availability is displayed rather than the actual number on a boat, but the supplied details do not clarify it.

Wrecks, reefs, caves, and coastal sites

The appeal here is the mix of site types. You are not signing up for six identical trips along the same stretch of coast.

The Mogan Wreck gives the package a clear point of interest for anyone drawn to artificial structures and wreck settings. One of the available outings is described as a two-session boat trip to wrecks, with Alvaro, Elice, and Jacob accompanying the group. The site name suggests a focus on the wreck itself, but the exact route, depth, and marine life are not specified, so ask the school for current conditions and certification requirements.

Pasito Blanco and Arguineguin Reef offer a different kind of setting. Reef areas are useful for seeing natural underwater formations and for comparing the character of one coastal site with another. The value of having several reef options is simple: if visibility or sea conditions make one site less suitable, the schedule has more room to adjust.

Bahia Lila and Balito add further coastal variety. The available information does not promise particular animals, depths, or visibility at these sites, and that is worth keeping in mind. Atlantic conditions change. A site name alone is not a guarantee of a specific encounter.

The Mogan Caves are likely to appeal to certified participants who enjoy unusual rock formations and more confined spaces. Caves require careful attention to the guide and to your own comfort level. Ask whether the planned route is an open cavern-style visit or a more enclosed passage, since the listing does not provide that detail.

El Cabrón, Sardina, and Las Palmas are offered as special trips for an added fee. These options may widen the range of scenery, but you should not assume they are necessary to enjoy the standard package. The base list already includes wrecks, reefs, and caves.

What a typical two-day schedule feels like

A full day usually involves two sessions from the boat. That gives you more time underwater than a single half-day booking, but it also makes the day more structured. You will need to be ready at the pickup point, follow the guide’s timing, and manage your energy between sessions.

The package includes a small snack and drink. I would still follow the school’s advice to bring a lunch box. Six sessions across two days can make for a hungry schedule, and the included refreshment is not a substitute for a proper meal.

The flexible-day arrangement helps if you have other plans in Gran Canaria. You can choose days around beach time, sightseeing, or rest, as long as you avoid Friday and the selected days are available. Sunday has special day trips, so ask about that option if it fits your holiday better.

The schedule also makes flight planning important. Diving within 24 hours of flying is not recommended. Leave enough time between your final session and your departure rather than trying to squeeze the last outing into the end of your trip.

The guides and the human side of the school

The strongest part of the package is the staff support. The professional team is multilingual and PADI affiliated. Names associated with the school include Jore and Elisa, who are particularly suitable contacts to know if you are new to the sport, along with Alvaro, Elice, Jacob, Adrian, and Bartek.

Adrian handles office arrangements and helps with scheduling and online booking. That matters here because the package is flexible rather than tied to one rigid departure. A clear conversation before arrival can help you match your available days with the sites you want.

Jore and Elisa have been praised for guiding newcomers with care. That does not turn the package into a beginner course, since certified participants must provide proof of qualification, but it does suggest that the staff can explain procedures patiently.

Alvaro, Elice, and Jacob have accompanied wreck outings, while Bartek has been singled out for attentive care. The consistent theme is organization, a friendly atmosphere, and professional supervision. Those qualities matter more than fancy sales language when you are handling cylinders, boat timing, and changing Atlantic conditions.

Certification, fitness, and the six-month rule

You need evidence of certification for a certified session. Bring your certification card or other accepted proof, and confirm in advance what the school will accept if your records are digital.

A health questionnaire is required before taking part. Conditions such as asthma or heart problems may prevent participation, so consult your doctor if you have a relevant medical concern. The package also calls for a moderate level of physical fitness.

The six-month rule is especially important. If you have not been underwater in the last six months, a refresher session is mandatory before the package begins. It costs 65 euros and is not part of the $376 price.

This is a sensible safety requirement, but it can affect your schedule and budget. Do not wait until the morning of the first outing to disclose a long break. Tell the school when booking so the refresher can be arranged.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. The supplied information does not give a minimum age, so contact the school directly if you are considering the package for a child.

Equipment and what to bring

If you own suitable equipment, the package covers the basic air supply, weights, and belt. If not, the school rents a complete set for 10 euros per day. Ask what the complete set contains and whether sizing can be arranged before pickup.

Bring lunch, certification evidence, and anything needed for the health questionnaire. You will also want to allow time for the hotel transfer and the return to Puerto de Mogán after the boat work is complete.

A torch is needed for the optional night session. The night outing costs 15 euros, and the torch costs another 5 euros. Since no night outing is included in the base package, treat it as an optional addition rather than part of the six-session promise.

Cancellation and weather planning

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.

The activity depends on suitable weather. If poor conditions force cancellation, the school offers another date or a full refund. That policy is helpful, but you still need some flexibility in your holiday schedule if you want to use all six sessions.

I would avoid booking the final possible morning before a flight. The 24-hour no-fly recommendation already limits the end of the program, and weather can affect the schedule.

Who will get the most from this package?

This is best for a certified participant who wants several Atlantic outings and plans to spend a serious part of the holiday underwater. It suits you if you like variety, want guided boat trips, and appreciate hotel pickup instead of arranging transport each morning.

It is also a good match for newer certified participants who want a professional guide nearby. The staff emphasis on care and instruction can make the first few sessions feel more manageable, especially with different site types on the schedule.

It is less suitable if you only want a quick introduction, dislike fixed morning starts, or are trying to keep the final cost very low. It also does not work well for anyone flying home immediately after the last session, or for someone who has been inactive for more than six months and has not budgeted for the refresher.

Should you book the six-session package?

Book it if you want six properly guided sessions, can use several days of your holiday, and are comfortable adding the costs for equipment, insurance, and special sites. The range from the Mogan Wreck to reefs and caves gives the program more character than a repeated shore outing.

I would contact Delphinus before paying to confirm the boat schedule, the exact allocation of the 12 tanks, the group size, equipment availability, and the final total with any extras. If those details fit your plans, the package offers a practical way to see more of Gran Canaria’s Atlantic side with a supportive local team.
