If you’re diving in the South - use Blue Water
Completed my Advanced Diving Cert with the team at Blue Water. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Good comms before arrival which allowed me to complete the e-learning before and just concentrate on diving / practicals when I got there. Good equipment, dive boat & a professional training approach with a good dose of fun mixed in. The best team - from the owners through to the interns - all made it a memorable experience. Special shout out to my instructor Mati and of course Lily !

Unforgettable and life changing experience
We took PADI Open water and Advanced Open water courses back-to-back in 4 consecutive days – and the only way to describe the experience was – unbelievably great! The staff and our Instructor Eileen are extremely friendly and competent. The smiles never got away from our faces. The diving sites were great, the equipment provided was absolutely superb and individually adjusted. The training (intensive enough) was custom tailored to our skills and desire to go further, we practiced everything required by the rule book and then some (because we wanted to), to the point that we felt confident enough to really see the beauty of the underwater world. Eileen took our rudimentary skills and turned us into divers who feel comfortable and calm under water. We managed to relax and truly enjoyed the nature and the underwater wrecks of the diving sites. The only thing we didn’t like was that we couldn’t spend more time with those fantastic people (but that is hardly their fault 😉). We are definitely coming back next year – and this time we will reserve the whole week for diving with Blue Water Diving – it is well worth it!

PADI Advanced Diving Course in Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does PADI Advanced Diving Course in Gran Canaria cost?
+
Prices start at $394 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 PADI Advanced Diving Course in Gran Canaria take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 PADI Advanced Diving Course in Gran Canaria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 PADI Advanced Diving Course 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 PADI Advanced Diving Course in Gran Canaria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PADI Advanced Diving Course in Gran Canaria?
+
Around 9 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PADI Advanced Diving Course 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.

+

+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
