6 Diving Sites Scuba Diving Package in Gran Canaria
Book on Viator →Operated by Delphinus Diving School Gran Canaria · Bookable on Viator
Six underwater stops, neatly scheduled.
In Gran Canaria’s warm Atlantic waters, this six-site scuba package is set up for people who want maximum water time without the hassle of piecing together separate trips. You’ll base out of Puerto de Mogán, with convenient pickup from inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel area, and you choose your days (with one important exception).
What I like most is how much is handled for you: 12 air tanks are included, along with weights and belt, plus a multilingual PADI professional guide for every underwater session. The other win is flexibility inside your schedule: most boats hit two sites per day, so you’re not stuck wasting time watching others go while you wait.
One consideration: this is only for certified divers, and you’ll need the right paperwork and a completed health questionnaire. If you’re between certifications or it’s been more than 6 months since your last time, plan for a mandatory refresher at an extra cost.

Key Reasons This Package Works Well
- Hotel pickup and drop-off from the Cordial Mogan Hotel area makes the morning start easier than most DIY plans
- 12 included 12-liter tanks (15-liter tanks are available on request) means fewer “wait and see” moments
- PADI guide with you on every session—a real safety and confidence boost, especially if you’re rusty
- Pick your days (except Friday) so your schedule drives the plan, not the other way around
- A mix of wrecks, reefs, and caves helps you avoid doing six repeats that all feel the same underwater
- Small snack and drink included plus guidance on bringing a lunch box for longer travel days
Puerto de Mogán Is the Right Base for a Short, Big Scuba Plan
Puerto de Mogán sits on the southwest side of Gran Canaria, and it’s known for being dry and warm much of the year. That matters because weather can mess with ocean plans—this activity requires good conditions, and if the water isn’t cooperating you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
The other reason this base works: it keeps logistics simple. You meet at Delphinus in/inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel area (Av. Los Marrero, 2, Puerto de Mogán). Start time is 8:30am, and the package includes transfers to and from your hotel.
You’re not just buying “air and a boat ride.” You’re buying a schedule that stacks six underwater sites into roughly two days, so you can actually fit a real ocean program into a vacation.

Picking Your Dates: The Friday Rule and Sunday Trips

This package lets you choose which days you go—just not Friday. That’s a big deal because popular boats around Gran Canaria fill up, and day-of availability can turn into a waiting game.
Also note the cadence: most boat outings visit two underwater sites per day. That usually means your six-site plan is split across the two days in a way that keeps mornings efficient and avoids long stretches of waiting.
If your travel dates land awkwardly (for example, you arrive mid-week and Friday is the only day you’re free), your best move is to adjust your plan early. The “except Friday” rule is the kind of constraint that can quietly ruin a well-intentioned schedule.
What’s Included Underwater: Tanks, Weights, and a PADI Guide Each Time

Here’s the core value: the package includes everything you need to focus on the water, not on running around for basics.
Included items:
- Multilingual PADI professional guide
- 12-liter tanks with air (and 15-liter available on demand)
- Weights and belt
- Transfers from and to your hotel
- A small snack and drink
A couple of practical implications:
- If you’ve ever done a trip where you’re still hunting gear minutes before departure, you’ll appreciate how this setup aims to remove that friction.
- Having the PADI guide with you on every underwater session helps keep things consistent across the two days. It also makes it easier to ask questions without waiting for “the next time the group leader shows up.”
Not included:
- Equipment rental (10 euro per day for a complete set)
- Dive insurance (mandatory; you can purchase at the club for 5 euro/day)
- Optional evening session gear (torch needed)
The Six Underwater Sites: Wrecks, Reefs, and Caves
Your six-site package is built for variety. The available sites include the Mogán Wreck, Pasito Blanco, Arguineguín reef, Bahía Lila, Mogán caves, Balito, and others listed in the package.
Even without knowing the exact order each day, you can plan for different types of underwater scenery:
- Wreck time (Mogán Wreck): Often what people want when they want structure, history-feeling textures, and a clear point of interest to explore.
- Reef habitat (Arguineguín reef): This is typically where you’ll see more natural underwater life compared with purely man-made features.
- Caves (Mogán caves): Caves tend to be about shape, light, and navigation cues. You’ll likely want to be calm, trim, and comfortable with buoyancy.
- Scenic beach-area visits (Pasito Blanco, Balito, Bahia Lila): These can give you that “different coastline, different mood” effect across the week.
If you’re doing a six-site plan in only two days, variety is more than a luxury. It’s what keeps the whole trip from turning into one long, repetitive routine.
Optional Add-Ons (That Can Change the Flavor of Your Two Days)
You can also upgrade or shift certain outings with supplements:
- El Cabron or Sardina: 30 euro
- Las Palmas trip: 55 euro
- Evening underwater session: optional, 15 euro (torch extra: 5 euro)
If you’re the type who wants a little extra range beyond the main circuit, these add-ons can help. Just budget for them early so you’re not scrambling once you’ve already committed your schedule.
Price and Value: Why $376 Can Be a Good Deal (or Not)
At $376 for the package, you’re paying for a lot of “real-world convenience”:
- Six scheduled underwater sites over about two days
- Hotel pickup and drop-off
- A PADI guide across sessions
- 12 included tanks plus weights and belt
- Snack and drink support
That’s the key value story: the cost isn’t just the boat. It’s the built-in services that usually cost extra when you DIY. If you were renting gear, arranging insurance, and coordinating multiple outings on your own, your total often climbs fast.
When it might not be the best value:
- If you need lots of extra add-ons (insurance, equipment every day, refresher), the final number can be meaningfully higher.
- If you’re not fully certified or you’re out of your last training window, you’ll have to handle extra steps before you can join.
My advice: treat $376 as the baseline, then budget a realistic “day-one total” for gear rental and insurance so you don’t get surprised halfway through the trip.
Getting There: The 8:30 Start, Transfers, and What to Bring
The activity starts at 8:30am. You’ll meet at Delphinus in/inside the Cordial Mogan Hotel area in Puerto de Mogán, and the tour ends back at the same meeting point.
A few helpful details that keep the day running smoothly:
- You’re advised to bring a lunch box. The package includes a small snack and drink, but this is still a multi-hour ocean day, and food can matter.
- Bring evidence of your dive certification. Participation for certified divers requires proof.
- You’ll be asked to complete a health questionnaire. Certain pre-existing conditions (examples given include asthma and heart conditions) may prevent you from diving—check with your doctor if you’re unsure.
- If you’re coming from flying, note that diving within 24 hours of flying is not recommended.
Also, the group size is capped at maximum 1 traveler per activity. That’s unusual and worth noticing if you prefer a more focused experience, quicker questions, and less waiting around.
Certification Rules and Refresher Costs (Don’t Skip This Part)
This package is for divers with certification, and evidence is required.
Two common situations that affect your total:
- Break in diving longer than 6 months: a refresher underwater session is mandatory (65 euro) before your package outings.
- Equipment needs: equipment rental is 10 euro per day for a complete set.
If you’re even slightly unsure where you land, verify before your trip. Sorting it out at the last minute can turn a smooth schedule into a scramble.
Weather, Cancellations, and How to Think About Risk
This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled because of poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund—so you’re not stuck eating the entire cost if the sea doesn’t cooperate.
You can also cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. If you cancel inside that window, the amount paid won’t be refunded.
In plain terms: plan with flexibility where you can. If your travel schedule is tight and you’re going to feel stressed by weather delays, pick dates with a buffer day.
Who Should Book This Package (and Who Should Pause)
This fits best if you:
- Want six underwater sites without trying to coordinate multiple independent bookings
- Prefer having tanks, weights, belt, and a PADI guide included
- Like structure: morning start, clear meeting point, pickup and drop-off handled
- Value variety—wrecks, reefs, and caves—over repeating one type of site
You might pause if:
- You’re not currently certified or you might need a refresher
- You’re sensitive about insurance paperwork, health questionnaires, or medical eligibility requirements
- You expect a “pick-your-own-route” experience. This is run like a program: it moves on a schedule and in set blocks
Also, if you’re traveling with kids, note that children must be accompanied by an adult, and the package requires the needed medical and certification steps for participation.
Should You Book This Six-Site Scuba Package?
If your goal is simple—get the most underwater time you can in a short Gran Canaria trip—this package is a strong choice. The big reasons: 12 tanks included, PADI guide for every session, and pickup from the Cordial Mogan Hotel area. It’s also priced like a package, not like a bunch of separate add-ons.
My recommendation: book it when you can lock in the days you want, especially because boats can book up fast. Then plan your budget for anything that isn’t included: equipment rental, mandatory insurance, and any refresher if you haven’t been in the water recently.
If you want a smooth, guided, high-output ocean plan based out of Puerto de Mogán, this one is worth your attention.
