Centro de Buceo Pozo Scuba Gran Canaria

Located in Playa del Ingles, Pozo Scuba has been a fixture of the Gran Canaria diving scene since April 2003. The centre operates with a focus on building a community of divers, moving away from large, impersonal tours to focus on personalised service and small group outings.

Whether you are looking for your first experience in the water or are working towards professional PADI certifications, the centre provides a structured environment that adapts to your individual pace and schedule. Their location in San Bartolomé de Tirajana allows for easy access to the diverse marine landscapes of the island.

The team at Pozo Scuba is comprised of professional instructors dedicated to the PADI curriculum. They offer training for every level, from those taking their first breaths underwater to those pursuing professional credentials like Divemaster.

Instruction is tailored to the individual, with a focus on small group sizes to ensure close supervision and a personalised approach. All training and guided dives are conducted in Spanish, ensuring clear communication and safety for all participants.

The centre offers a comprehensive suite of PADI courses. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or the full Open Water Diver certification. For those looking to progress, Advanced Open Water Diver and specialties like Nitrox are available.

Safety and professional development are central to their curriculum, with Emergency First Response and Rescue Diver courses offered. For those pursuing a career in diving, the Divemaster programme is available on-site.

The centre provides a range of kit hire for divers arriving without their own equipment, including regulators, fins, masks, and wetsuits. For those looking to extend their bottom time, Nitrox is available on-site.

On-shore facilities are designed to support a smooth transition between the boat and the shore, catering to the needs of both recreational and professional divers.

The marine life around Gran Canaria is diverse, featuring various species of rays and reef fish. You can regularly encounter electric rays and grunts during your dives.

In the calmer waters of the southwest, such as Mogán and Arguineguín, you might spot Trompeteros. The area is known for its tranquil conditions and steady life.

Other common sightings include various species of scorpionfish and various reef fish throughout the different dive zones.

Currents vary significantly depending on the specific site you are visiting. Some locations, such as El Perchel, are known for having low currents, and it is often possible to plan dives that allow you to swim with the current rather than against it.
