6 Diving Sites Scuba Diving Package in Gran Canaria

Six scuba sessions in two days sounds simple, but it is actually a smart way to fit real underwater time into Gran Canaria’s warm Atlantic season. This package is built around the UNESCO biosphere reserve in the southwest, where popular boats can book up fast, and the team at Delphinus keeps things organized from the first morning.

What I like most is the PADI-led support and the way the staff make it feel calm and professional, even if you are new. In reviews, I saw praise for instructors like Jore and Elisa as mentors, plus office help from Adrian when people needed scheduling support.

One thing to consider is cost creep: equipment rental, dive insurance, and a possible refresher session can add to the base price, so check your needs before you lock it in.

Key things I’d bet on before you book

• Pick your days with one big exception: you can choose days except Friday, and Sunday trips run on a special schedule.
• Hotel pickup is part of the deal: meeting happens at Delphinus inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel area, with transfers from and back to your hotel.
• You get 12-liter air tanks plus weights and belt: that cuts down on time, hassle, and last-minute decisions.
• Each session is guided by a PADI professional: you will not be left to figure it out on your own.
• Smaller setup: the experience lists a maximum of 1 traveler, so expect close attention rather than a big crowd vibe.
• Budget for extras if needed: rental kit, insurance, and optional torch for night sessions can change your total.

Six Stops in Two Days: Why this package fits Gran Canaria so well

Gran Canaria is one of those places where you can plan a trip that feels effortless because the logistics are mature. Puerto de Mogán in the southwest is a practical base for water time, with the meeting point inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel area and hotel pickup included.

This package is interesting because it is not just one outing. You are buying a multi-stop plan ahead of time, which matters here because boats and popular spots can fill up quickly. With six underwater sites scheduled across about two days, you can focus on the water instead of coordinating transport, permissions, and schedules every day.

The real schedule: what a typical day looks like at sea

The start time is 8:30 am, and you begin at Delphinus at the Cordial Mogan Hotel. From there, the plan is designed around the way most boats run in this region: most boats visit two sites per day, and you’ll rotate through the day’s stops based on conditions and your chosen dates.

Even without a detailed hour-by-hour route, you can plan your trip day around two pulses:

1) A morning departure and a full morning of water time

2) A second set of stops on the boat day, with snacks and drinks provided

Since the package duration is listed as about two days, you should expect multiple sessions each day, rather than one quick taste. This is also why the tank inclusion matters so much. More of your money goes toward actual water time instead of setup time and repeated logistics.

Choosing days in Gran Canaria: Friday is the wildcard

You can choose your days (except Friday), and Sunday can be special because special day trips depart then. That means you should check your overall travel rhythm before you pick dates.

If your trip has a hard constraint, like you arrive Friday or you must leave Friday morning, this package might not line up. But if you have flexibility for two working days, you can usually build a clean two-day window and stack your underwater time efficiently.

Mogan is the base: why Puerto de Mogán makes this feel easy

I like Puerto de Mogán for the simple reason that it keeps your day from turning into a travel day. You meet at Delphinus inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel, and the provider includes hotel pickup and drop-off. You are not bouncing between far-flung meeting points or trying to catch a bus on a schedule that might shift with weather.

The area is also described as warm and dry in the southwest, which is exactly what you want for a multi-stop plan. With good weather, the day runs as planned. If weather is poor, you are offered a different date or a full refund, so you are not left scrambling.

Your underwater guide team: calm professionalism matters

Here is where the reviews are strongest, and it is the part that most people underestimate. A good crew turns a stressful gear day into a smooth, confidence-building routine.

The package includes a multilingual PADI professional dive guide for each session. In the reviews, people specifically thanked mentors like Jore and Elisa, and they praised staff such as Alvaro, Elice, and Jacob for young but highly professional accompaniment. Another theme was that the office team helped with real-world planning, with Adrian mentioned for friendly help and schedule guidance.

If you have never done this before, guided sessions reduce anxiety because you get instruction before you hit the water. If you are returning after a break, having experienced PADI professionals helps you reset safely and quickly.

The 12 air tanks, weights, and belt: what that really buys you

The included gear list is one of the better value signals in this kind of package:

• 12-liter air tanks with air included
• weights and belt
• small snack and drink
• the guides and transfers

It also notes that 15-liter tanks are available on demand, which can matter if your breathing needs or comfort preferences lean that way. Your best move is to ask when you confirm, so you do not end up making decisions mid-day.

The biggest advantage of tanks and basic setup being included is time. You spend less time renting, less time double-checking your setup, and more time actually on the water.

What you pay extra for, and how to avoid surprises

Even with a package price that sounds fixed, scuba plans often have add-ons. This one is no different, so build a realistic budget.

Not included items you might need:

• Equipment rental (complete set is listed at 10 euro per day)
• Dive insurance, described as obligatory, with an option to purchase at 5 euro per day
• Night session with torch (optional), listed at 15 euro, and torch alone at 5 euro
• Optional supplements for specific trips: El Cabron or Sardina (30 euro), and Las Palmas (55 euro)
• Refresher session is mandatory if you have not been doing this within the last 6 months (listed at 65 euro)

My practical tip: if you are new or returning, assume you might need the refresher unless you are clearly within the last 6 months. If you already have personal insurance that covers this activity, you might skip the on-site option.

Also remember the reminder to bring a lunch box. Even when snacks and drinks are provided, it helps to have your own food plan so you can keep your energy steady.

The six named sites: what you can expect from each stop

This package is built around six underwater sites, with a list that includes:

• Mogan Wreck
• Pasito Blanco
• Arguineguin reef
• Bahia Lila
• Mogan caves
• Balito
• and other sites may be included depending on the day’s routing

Because the exact in-water time per site can vary, I would focus on the type of place each name points to. The good news is that the crew keeps you moving through the day with clear guidance.

Mogan Wreck

You will spend time at the Mogan Wreck site. Wreck areas usually appeal to people who like structure and the feeling of exploring something man-made, but you should treat this as an underwater site stop on the day’s plan rather than a guaranteed photo set.

Pasito Blanco

This stop is listed as Pasito Blanco, so expect a coastal-style site tied to that area. These kinds of sites are often popular for their access and variety, and they tend to work well for a mixed group of skills.

Arguineguin reef

The Arguineguin reef name signals a reef-oriented underwater habitat. Reef stops are often where you notice more wildlife and underwater life, so keep your buoyancy controlled and listen closely to your guide.

Bahia Lila

Bahia Lila is part of the package’s standard lineup. Bays and sheltered areas can be appealing because the conditions can be calmer than open ocean, but your actual experience depends on weather and sea state.

Mogan caves

If Mogan caves are on your schedule, this is the “special theme” stop. Cave-style locations can be rewarding, but they also demand focus and discipline, so stay close to your guide and follow rules for spacing and movement.

Balito

Balito rounds out the set, and it is another named site stop included in the package’s six-site run. Think of it as the final anchor point of your two-day underwater plan, often chosen for how it fits the day’s route.

Who this is best for, and who may want a different plan

This package is a good fit if you:

• want multiple underwater sites without planning every boat day yourself
• like having PADI professionals guiding each session
• want hotel pickup to reduce stress in your vacation schedule
• are comfortable meeting early at 8:30 am

It may not be ideal if:

• you are not certified and do not have the certification evidence required
• you have medical conditions that could prevent diving, since you must complete a health questionnaire and some pre-existing conditions may block participation
• you are hoping for a large social group experience, since the listing indicates a maximum of 1 traveler

Families can participate, but the rules say children must be accompanied by an adult. If you are traveling with kids, confirm whether your child’s situation fits the certification and health screening requirements.

Tips that make the day smoother (especially on a multi-site plan)

These are small things that matter when you are stacking sessions across two days:

• Bring a lunch box, even though snacks and drinks are included. It keeps you from getting stuck hunting for food at the wrong time.
• Pack for warm, dry coastal weather, since the southwest is described as warm much of the year.
• Be ready for a health questionnaire and to consult your doctor if you have conditions like asthma or heart issues, because the questionnaire can stop participation.
• If you have a long gap in experience, plan for a refresher session cost and time, since it is mandatory after more than 6 months away.
• If you just flew, avoid this within 24 hours of flying, since that is explicitly not recommended.

Value check: does $376 make sense for what you get?

At $376 for about two days, the value comes from what is included rather than from the headline price. You are getting transfers, guided sessions, weights and belt, and a substantial amount of air fills (12 air tanks included), plus snacks and drinks.

Where the value can change is if you need extras:

• equipment rental
• insurance purchase
• refresher session
• optional night session or special-trip supplements

If you are already certified, within your recent experience window, and you have insurance and gear, this package can be a strong way to buy efficiency. If you are missing one of those items, you can still do it, but you should treat the package price as a baseline and add the likely extras.

Should you book it? My straight answer

Book this package if your priority is maximum underwater time with clear structure, hotel pickup, and PADI-guided support in Puerto de Mogán. The reviews also point to the staff as a standout strength, with named instructors like Jore and Elisa and crew members such as Alvaro, Elice, Jacob, plus office help from Adrian.

Skip or reconsider if you are trying to travel very tightly around Friday, or if you know you will need multiple add-ons like refresher training, equipment rental, and insurance. The plan is solid, but it works best when you come prepared so you do not end up paying extra just to start.

If you want a straightforward, well-supported way to hit six named underwater sites in Gran Canaria, this is a practical choice.
