10 year old first dive.
We wanted our 10 year old Granddaughter to try scuba diving while in Gran Canaria. After trying a few places we found this one and we are so glad we did. They are totally professional and Holly and Mike, the owners, went out of their way to make this the best experience possible. Her instructor on both days was Marion and she was the best example of a professional instructor and she made our Granddaughter feel totally at ease. If you want the best place to go for scuba diving instruction or just to scuba dive this is the only place I would recommend 100%. Well done Holly and Mike and of course Marion xx.

Excellent all around
From enquiring to the end this was an excellent experience. I’d dived with PRD a few years ago and knew I’d be in safe hands again. Marion was lovely, relaxed and made us both feel safe. They were very patient with beginners on the day and gave me room to recall my skills as a qualified diver, but were happy to help when I needed it The first try dive was great and went at everyone’s pace. Marion kindly took me on a solo 2nd dive which included so much amazing underwater life, ensuring she pointed it all out using marine life signals to me. I honestly wouldn’t ever book with anyone else. It was all done over whatsapp which was so easy too. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Amazing experience
Fantastic! Communication from the moment we booked with all the details we needed. Picked up on time and the guide was lovely. Chatting and asking questions. There was 3 of us to one guide and she made sure we were all happy when teaching us about the equipment and signs before moving on. In the water she took things slowly and made sure everyone was happy and safe before moving on and going deeper in the sea. Stayed close to us the whole time and even pointed out things for us to look at. We paid extra for the go pros and was definitely worth it. Link with all photos and videos was sent over a few hours after drop off. Will definitely use again!

Was in contact with the operator personally because of some technical problems. Always got a response quickly and had a smooth experience. They really are an organisation that knows what they’re doing and are good with training newbies like myself. Friendly people and had nice conversations as well. Would definitely recommend!

An unforgettable first dive
We had a really great experience with Puerto Rico Diving. It was our first time diving, and for both my father and me it was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. Everyone was really friendly and took the time to explain everything properly, which made us feel very comfortable. The transport from our hotel also worked smoothly. We had a lot of fun and are really happy we did it. Thanks to the whole team for the great experience

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $102 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 Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 621 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup?
+
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 Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup?
+
Around 217 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scuba Diving Experience for Beginners in Gran Canaria,Free Pickup 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.
