Canary Diving

Located in the village of Taurito on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, Canary Diving Adventures has been a fixture of the local diving community since 1998. The centre is conveniently situated at the Hotel Taurito Princess, serving as a gateway to the most productive reefs in the area.

Operating as a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, they focus on high-standard safety and education. Whether you are looking for your first breath underwater or training for professional qualifications, the centre is designed to support your progression through the PADI system.

The team is highly qualified and multilingual, with instructors capable of communicating in English, Dutch, German, and Spanish. This allows for seamless communication during technical briefings and training sessions.

As an Instructor Development Centre (IDC), the facility is equipped to train the next generation of PADI professionals. The staff is experienced in managing everything from beginner snorkelling sessions to advanced specialty courses.

The centre offers the complete PADI curriculum, starting with Discover Scuba Diving and the Open Water Diver course. For those looking to expand their skills, they provide Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver, and various PADI Specialty courses.

Professional training is a core part of the centre's identity. They offer Divemaster training and are an IDC centre, meaning they are authorised to train candidates for the PADI Instructor level. They also provide the PADI Boat Diver course for those wanting to specialise in diving from a vessel.

For those who prefer to use their own kit, the centre provides rental equipment from leading brands including Scuba Pro, Mares, and Cressi. You can rent everything required for a complete session, including regulators, BCDs, and fins.

The shore-based facilities include dedicated areas for rinsing and preparing your gear, ensuring you are ready for your daily excursions.

The reefs around Taurito and the Arinaga Marine Reserve are home to a diverse range of marine life. You will find a high abundance of various species inhabiting the reef structures.

Fixed life is a prominent feature of these sites, providing a complex habitat for smaller organisms. The reef structures themselves host a variety of life that makes for interesting underwater scenery.

Diving in this region is possible all year round. The local conditions allow for consistent access to the southern coast of Gran Canaria regardless of the season.
