- No diving licence required
- Professional instructor included
- Scuba diving equipment included
- Hotel pickup included within the designated area from Bahía Feliz to Puerto de Mogán

What Is Included in the €85 Beginner Dive?
The beginner experience is designed as a supported introduction to scuba diving. The current information includes:
- A professional diving instructor

- A safety briefing before entering the water
- A supervised beginner dive
- Water and biscuits
- Pickup within the designated tourist area in the south of Gran Canaria
You do not need to buy or bring diving equipment. The diving team prepares the correct equipment after receiving your participant information.
Do You Need Previous Scuba Diving Experience?
No. This option is intended for complete beginners. Before entering the water, the instructor explains the equipment, basic underwater communication and the safety procedures you need to follow.
If you are already certified, this is not the most suitable option. Read the complete scuba diving guide for the certified-diver experience and the SSI Open Water course.
Minimum Age and Important Safety Information
The published minimum age for these scuba diving activities is 12 years old.
Scuba diving may not be suitable during pregnancy or for people with certain heart, lung, mobility or other medical conditions. If you are unsure, tell the diving team before booking so they can confirm whether participation is appropriate. Do not wait until the activity day to raise an important health or mobility concern.
Hotel Pickup Area
Pickup is included within the designated area from Bahía Feliz to Puerto de Mogán. This covers many of the main southern resort areas, including:
- Bahía Feliz
- San Agustín
- Playa del Inglés
- Maspalomas
- Meloneras
- Puerto Rico
- Puerto de Mogán
The exact pickup time is confirmed with the reservation. If you are staying outside this area, contact us and we will help you check the easiest meeting point.
Where Does the Beginner Dive Take Place?
The exact location can change according to the operator, weather and sea conditions. Gran Canaria offers several volcanic coastal dive areas, but a particular site should never be promised in advance when conditions may require a safer alternative.
Send your preferred date first. We will confirm the available location and practical details for that day.
What Should You Bring?
- Swimwear
- A towel
- A dry change of clothes
- Comfortable footwear
- Extra clothing or a light jacket when useful
Some access points may be rocky, so secure footwear is a better choice than flip-flops.
What Information Is Needed to Check Availability?
For a quicker answer, send GC Tours:
- Your preferred date
- Your hotel or accommodation area
- The number of participants
- The age of each participant
- Whether anyone has dived before
The diving team may later request additional sizing information, such as height, weight and shoe size, to prepare equipment correctly.
