Shambles of a dive company
WOW! A business that doesn't want your business! Extremely unprofessional and rude. I visited in person to discuss additional diving opportunities. I had already booked 3 days diving with their excellent competitor. Dive shop open..... Employee had no idea about prices or availability, just shrugged meoff and sent me to the main office. Went to the main office (during their opening hours) Owner and 1 other sat on the computer and chatting, wouldn't even open the door, again just shrugged me off. Pity for them as I had a lot of money to spend on equipment (dive computers etc). Saw the state of some of their cylinders as they were diving the same spot as their competitors. When we're these last serviced properly? Severely Rusted necks on at least half the cylinders in their van... As kit Officer for our club, I would have had these scrapped years ago. Glad I never dived with them.....

Is Zeus Dive Center a Scam? My 3-Hour Wait & Rude Instructor (Lorenzo)
I am writing to report the SHAMEFUL and UNACCEPTABLE experience I had with your company on August 29th, caused specifically by the poor conduct and lack of professionalism of instructor LORENZO. From the very beginning, we were neglected. We WAITED FOR THREE HOURS for our turn, without Mr. Lorenzo EVER informing us that we would lose the entire morning waiting. What was supposed to be a special day turned into a complete ordeal due to this employee's dishonest and ill-mannered behavior. Instructor LORENZO was, besides being a LIAR, incredibly RUDE. He assured us, in no uncertain terms, that we would be in the water in "an hour at most." This information was FALSE and kept us there, waiting in vain. It is unbelievable that a company that claims to have a minimum level of professionalism allows one of its instructors to MISLEAD customers in this way. To add insult to injury, we witnessed people who arrived AFTER us being served and entering the water RIGHT BEFORE US, with his total consent. This is not just a lack of organization; it is a complete DISRESPECT for those who arrive on time and trust your service. The only silver lining in this cloud of incompetence was Alexandro, who replaced Lorenzo and took over the situation. Alexandro's professional and polite conduct was the ONLY positive aspect of the day and highlights the stark contrast between an employee who is a problem and one who is a solution. The actual underwater experience was good, but it was ABSOLUTELY overshadowed by Lorenzo's HORRIBLE service and the disastrous logistics. In the end, so exhausted and frustrated, we took a taxi and fled the location to quickly end the whole ordeal. We expect more than a generic "we're sorry," but believe me: the situation was REALLY VERY BAD and was directly caused by the incompetence and dishonesty of instructor Lorenzo. I expect this complaint will lead to urgent action regarding this employee. Sincerely,

Very good dive with Alejandro
Went diving today, 18/3/2025 for the first time for both my girlfriend and myself. It was very nice. Our instructor, Alejandro was so professional and reassuring. Very nice person. Very good diver that made us feel comfortable in a new environment. You will be safe with Alejandro.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gran Canaria is not rushed.
Is Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gran Canaria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gran Canaria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Gran Canaria?
+
On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Gran Canaria?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Gran Canaria?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria?
+
Included: Use of SCUBA equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Gran Canaria. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Discover Scuba Dive in Gran Canaria wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
