Gran Canaria

volcanic landscapes above and below the surface

up to 10 DIVING TRAVELLERS

FROM JUNE 22nd UNTIL 29th

Did you ever think that Scuba Diving in Gran Canaria could give you more?

There’s a version of you already out there, waiting for this journey

The version of you that jumps into the blue without thinking twice and goes with the flow of the ocean.

That sits on the sand with salty skin, watching the sun go down, smiling without needing a reason.

That shares the emotions of underwater encounters with a group of “new” divers friends.

That part of you is still there.
This trip is your chance to bring it back.

I still remember the first time I arrived in Gran Canaria. It didn’t feel like just another destination. Somehow, this place made me feel alive again.

Feeling the salty breeze on the skin while walking on the beach at the sunset, exploring a new ocean… but it wasn’t only nature that made it special.

It was sharing these moments.

Being surronded by welcoming people… Diving side by side. Surfacing with wide eyes and happy laughter. Sitting around a table at sunset, passing plates, telling stories, planning the next adventure.

Every day had its rhythm: slow mornings, underwater magic, evenings that turned strangers into friends.

If you’ve been missing that feeling — of waking up excited, of doing something just for you, of being part of something — then maybe this is the kind of trip you’ve been waiting for.

This group trip to Gran Canaria isn’t just about scuba diving. It’s about people, moments, and memories that stay with you long after you’re back home.

So… are you coming with us?

Nothing really prepares you for that moment, when a school of fish surrounds you and, for a few seconds, you’re not just watching the ocean… You are part of it.

There’s no need for words down there. One look is enough to know that the others around you feel it too — the calm, the thrill, the little spark of adrenaline.

You’ll never dive alone. Someone will check your gear, give you a nod before the jump, and wait for you at the surface. And after every dive, you’ll share that smile — the one that says “wow, we did that.

It’s not just the dives you’ll remember. It’s the dinners by the sea, the jokes that only make sense to your group, the stories shared under the stars. It’s how quickly a group of strangers becomes your crew.

It’s the perfect mix of adventure and slow living. No rush. No pressure. Just good people, beautiful dives, and time to enjoy it all.

And just when you think you’ve seen it all… the ocean surprises you again.

No need to be a “better version” of yourself. Just bring the one that’s ready to dive in.

Imagine telling your friends about the time you WERE diving with rays in Gran Canaria

WHAT YOU’LL REMEMBER MOST ABOUT GRAN CANARIA? THE FEELING OF BEING THERE

From the very first day, you’ll feel it: this is something you’ve been needing — maybe without even realising it.

Your mornings start early, but slow, with the ocean breeze and the sound of waves. Then it’s time to suit up and take that first giant stride into the blue.
As you descend, the world above disappears… and what’s left is peace, freedom, and wonder.
You’ll swim with rays gliding just above the sand. See volcanic reefs full of life. Watch fish move together like a single heartbeat.

But the best part?
You won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be with a small group of divers who feel the same as you do. People who understand the magic of a curious octopus or the joy of a perfect dive.
No need to explain. They just get it.

You’ll laugh after each dive. Swap stories at dinner. And without even trying, you’ll feel like you’ve found your people.

This isn’t just about diving — it’s about connection.
With the ocean, with others, with yourself.

And on the last day, when you look out at the horizon one last time, you’ll know: this trip was the reminder of how good it feels to be truly living your best life.

It’s not just a break. It’s the experience you’ve been waiting for.

There will be a moment when your heart beats faster and you’ll think,
What am I doing here?” And then you’ll jump — and feel proud that you did.

You won’t always know what’s waiting below the surface. You’ll look down and see only blue. That mystery? It’s part of the magic.

Just before the dive, your adrenaline kicks in. But you’re not alone.
And when you all come back up — wide eyes, big grins — you’ll know: this is what it’s all about.

adventure & culture

MORE THAN JUST SCUBA DIVING

We’ll explore the north of the island, from Gáldar to Agaete, discovering caves and swimming in natural pools.

And in the south, get ready for something a little different: coasteering.

We will be climbing, swimming, jumping, and scrambling along the sea cliffs.

A perfect mix of challenge, nature, and fun — always with the group by your side.

Sounds like fun? It totally is.

Great dives. Good vibes. And people who get you.
Don’t just imagine it: come live it with us in Gran Canaria!

Your fins, your smile, and your next favorite memories are waiting.

Let other divers tell you their experience in Gran Canaria with us.

If you have doubts, that’s normal. We’ve all felt that little tingling before embarking on something new. Will this be the experience I truly need? Will I fit in with the group? Is it worth it?

What if I don’t have enough diving experience?
