6 Diving Sites Scuba Diving Package in Gran Canaria

The best part of this package is its variety. Across six underwater outings, you may visit the Mogan Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, Mogan Caves, Balito, and other southwest-coast sites. Most boats visit two sites per day, so you get a useful mix of wrecks, reefs, rock formations, and local marine life rather than repeating one spot.

I like the flexible scheduling, since you can choose your days except Friday, and I like the practical package format: hotel transfers, air tanks, weights, a belt, snacks, and drinks are covered. The main caution is cost. At $376, this suits a committed certified diver better than someone hoping to try scuba once, especially since equipment rental, insurance, and some locations cost extra.

Key points to know before booking

• Six Atlantic sessions: Visit several sites around the southwest coast instead of paying separately for each outing.
• Two locations on many days: Boats generally visit two sites daily, giving you variety without packing the whole trip into one rushed outing.
• Certified PADI guidance: A multilingual professional guide accompanies each session, with staff names including Jore, Elisa, Alvaro, Jacob, and Bartek.
• Hotel pickup included: Transfers to and from your hotel are covered, with the school based inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel.
• Extra costs matter: Full equipment rental is €10 per day, insurance is €5 per day, and special trips or a refresher session cost more.
• Good southwest base: Puerto de Mogán offers warm, dry conditions and direct access to several established underwater sites.

Why six sessions make sense in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is a strong place to build a scuba holiday around the sea. The southwest is known for warm, dry weather, and Puerto de Mogán gives the operation a practical base near several coastal locations.

A six-session package lets you spread your time across roughly two days, though the exact schedule depends on the centre and available boats. That matters because underwater conditions, boat space, and site planning can change. Instead of trying to arrange each outing separately, you have a block of sessions ready to place into your holiday.

I see the package as best for certified divers who already know they want several outings. If you are only curious about scuba, the commitment is large. You also need to show proof of certification, complete a health questionnaire, and arrange a refresher session if you have not been underwater for more than six months.

The package description includes 12 air tanks, which suggests a two-tank arrangement across six outings. Still, I would confirm the exact tank allocation when scheduling, since the wording also refers to 12-liter tanks. A 15-liter tank is available on request, with an additional arrangement to confirm directly with the school.

Starting at the Cordial Mogan Hotel

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

That transfer service is one of the package’s strongest practical features. You do not need to arrange a taxi to the marina each morning, and the early start leaves room for the day’s outings. The operation is also near public transport, which helps if you are staying outside the immediate hotel pickup area.

Expect the first morning to include basic planning and checks before heading out. If this is your first visit to the centre, the office staff can help place your sessions into the available schedule. Adrian is specifically associated with helping customers arrange schedules and online booking, so he is a useful name to know when you need to sort out which days work best.

Bring the right paperwork. Certified participants must show evidence of certification, and every person completes a health questionnaire before entering the water. Conditions such as asthma or heart problems can prevent participation, so speak with a doctor in advance if you have a relevant medical concern.

What the six underwater outings may include

The package does not promise one fixed route for every departure. The possible sites include the Mogan Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguin Reef, Bahia Lila, Mogan Caves, Balito, and other nearby locations.

That flexible approach is useful. It lets the guides match the day’s plan to boat schedules and conditions rather than forcing every group into the same sequence. It also means you should treat the named locations as examples of the programme, not a guaranteed checklist.

The Mogan Wreck gives the package a clear point of interest for anyone who enjoys exploring artificial structures underwater. Wreck outings often appeal to certified divers because they offer different angles, surfaces, and sheltered areas to observe. The available information does not specify the wreck’s depth, condition, or permitted penetration, so ask the guide about those points before entering the water.

Pasito Blanco is another named coastal location. It adds a different setting from a wreck, with the emphasis likely placed on open Atlantic scenery and marine life around the reef area. Since no detailed species list is provided, I would avoid booking this package for one particular animal. Choose it for variety and the chance to see what local conditions bring.

Arguineguin Reef and Bahia Lila broaden the schedule further. Reef sites tend to make a useful contrast with wrecks and caves, particularly when you are completing several outings over two days. The guides can explain the character of each site on the morning of the trip, which is more helpful than relying on a fixed sales description.

Mogan Caves add rock formations to the mix. Cave-named sites can sound more adventurous than they are, so ask whether the route involves a fully open swim-through or simply a visit to rocky formations. That distinction matters for comfort, certification, and personal limits.

Balito is also part of the possible programme. With six outings, the value lies in receiving several different underwater environments rather than judging the package by one famous stop. If your priority is a particular location, confirm it before paying because the schedule can vary.

Guides, safety, and the human side

Every outing comes with a multilingual PADI professional guide. That is important in a mixed international group, where instructions may need to be delivered clearly and quickly.

The staff connected with the school include Jore, Elisa, Alvaro, Jacob, and Bartek. Jore and Elisa are associated with especially strong beginner support, while Alvaro, Elisa, and Jacob have led wreck sessions. Bartek is also linked with attentive personal care during outings. Staff assignments can change, but these names give you a useful sense of the team behind the centre.

I value the emphasis on professional supervision, especially for anyone returning to scuba after time away. The centre requires a refresher session after a break of more than six months, and that session costs €65. It may feel like an unwelcome extra, but it is a sensible requirement. It gives you a chance to review equipment, buoyancy, hand signals, and emergency procedures before committing to the full package.

You need a moderate level of physical fitness. This is not a passive boat excursion. You will handle equipment, follow instructions, and manage your movement in the Atlantic. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Equipment, insurance, and the real price

The listed price is $376 for the package. That is not a small add-on, but it can offer reasonable value if you complete all six outings and would otherwise pay for each session separately.

The included items are:

• 12-liter air tanks
• Weights and belt
• Professional multilingual PADI guide
• Hotel transfers
• A small snack and drink

Full equipment rental is not included. The stated charge is €10 per day, so bring your own certified equipment if you have it, or budget for the rental fee. The details do not break down the rental set, so confirm whether the daily charge covers the complete set you need.

Dive insurance is obligatory and can be purchased at the centre for €5 per day. This is a modest extra compared with the package price, but it changes your final budget. You should also ask whether your existing policy meets the centre’s requirements before assuming you are covered.

Special trips add more cost. A trip to El Cabrón or Sardina carries a €30 supplement, while a trip to Las Palmas costs €55. These fees may be worthwhile if one of those locations is your priority, but they mean the advertised price is a starting figure rather than the final cost for every possible itinerary.

A night session is optional at €15, with a torch costing another €5. That can add a different mood to the programme, but it is not part of the six-session package. You will also need to bring a lunch box, since the included snack and drink are not presented as a full meal.

Planning your two days on the water

Most boats visit two locations per day, which creates a natural four-session rhythm across two days. The package itself includes six sessions, so the exact timing may extend beyond a simple two-day pattern or require additional scheduling. Confirm the number of calendar days when you reserve your places.

You can choose your days according to your holiday plans, except Friday. Special day trips depart on Sundays. That gives you useful control, particularly if you want to leave a no-scuba day before flying home.

The flight rule is important: diving within 24 hours of flying is not recommended. Plan your final session early enough to create that buffer. A six-session package is easier to enjoy when you do not have to squeeze the last outing into the final morning of your holiday.

Weather can also alter the plan. If poor weather causes cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. For your own schedule, keep some flexibility rather than booking connecting transport immediately after the final session.

Who will get the most from this package

I would choose this package if you are already certified, want several Atlantic outings, and are staying in or near southwest Gran Canaria. The included transfers make it convenient, and the range of possible locations should keep two days from feeling repetitive.

It also suits newer certified divers who want a guide close at hand. The centre has experience teaching PADI courses, and the named staff have been associated with patient instruction and careful support. Still, you should be comfortable with the basic demands of certified scuba. This is not presented as a simple introductory swim.

I would hesitate if you have only one free morning, need a guaranteed wreck or cave visit, or want every piece of equipment included. The package is designed for commitment and variety, not a one-off sample.

Solo customers should also check the booking arrangement carefully. The information lists a maximum of one traveler, which may refer to the booking setup rather than the size of the boat group. Do not assume you are reserving a private boat or an exclusive guide unless the centre confirms that directly.

Booking, cancellation, and useful preparation

Confirmation is provided at booking, and the package offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience begins. Inside that 24-hour window, the payment is not refunded and changes are not accepted.

I would book early if your holiday dates are fixed. The southwest coast is popular, and boat places can fill quickly. At the same time, do not book the final session too close to your flight, and leave room for weather changes.

Bring certification evidence, swimwear, sun protection, a lunch box, and any personal equipment you prefer to use. The centre supplies the listed tanks, weights, belt, snacks, and drinks, but you need to decide in advance whether to rent the rest of the equipment.

My verdict on the Puerto de Mogán package

I would recommend it to a certified diver who wants a full underwater programme rather than a single outing. The strongest points are the six-session format, hotel transport, multilingual PADI guidance, and the range of possible wreck, reef, cave, and coastal sites.

The $376 price becomes more attractive when you use all six sessions and avoid adding too many extras. Budget separately for equipment, insurance, special locations, a night session, or the required refresher if you have been away from scuba for more than six months.

Book this package if you value choice and convenience. Skip it if you want a guaranteed single site, have limited time, or are not prepared for the added costs. For the right certified diver, it is a practical way to make the Atlantic a central part of a Gran Canaria holiday.
