    one of the best experiences EVER

    What can I say? I went and took part in the Open Water Diver course and from the moment we were picked up from our hotel, I just got a really great feeling about this company. I was nervous to say the least but all the way through the course I was given time and reassurance that gave me the confidence to complete and pass the course. I would highly recommend this centre for anyone who is wanting to learn the basics of diving, snorkelling or indeed jump into the open water course. A special mention to David, who was our instructor for the course, extremely knowledgeable, kind and very very very patient with me. Also Sarah who was a calming influence on me and Greg for helping out on the second day. Highly recommend this centre and cannot thank all involved for making this a memorable experience and most of all giving me the skills to take forward in my own diving exploits.

    Me and my wife used this school to complete our open water diver course. We did three days with David our instructor assisted by Greg and Sara, they took two complete novices and helped them pass the course gave us confidence to progress advised on future ventures and were great professional instructors who made us feel at ease. I really enjoyed my course and will go back in the future for my courses or pleasure dives a great team who speak multiple languages fluently with lots of diving experience.

    Amazing time!!

    I took the class with Peter. It was super nice, really a good instructor that take the time to explain things. Always feel safe at any point of the class. The staff is sympathic and help you, no matter the problem. Plus, the city is so beatiful and has a relaxing vibe, I really recommend. An amazing experience !!

    Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.

    How much does Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $514 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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan?

    +

    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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan?

    +

    Around 10 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan 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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan?

    +

    Included: Delphinus Club membership; Diving insurance; Hotel pickup and drop-off; All required scuba equipment; and 5 confined water sessions, 5 theory sessions and 4 open water dives in the ocean. Not included: PADI open water manual & certification fee (87€ to be paid at the dive center); and Photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 332 listed pickup locations in and around Gran Canaria. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Polish, 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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan?

    +

    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 Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Open Water Diver Scuba Diving Course in Puerto de Mogan if the weather is bad?
