Yes! At Scuba Gran Canaria, we highly recommend refreshment dives for certified divers who haven’t been in the water for a while. Our refresher program includes:

Duration: ~2-3 hours | Price: 85€ (includes equipment)

Perfect for divers returning after a long break or those wanting extra practice before deeper dives! 90% of divers say they felt more confident after!

Our tours adapt to daily sea conditions, visiting sheltered shallow sites perfect for beginners. Most are easy-access from shore, where you’ll spot local marine life like parrotfish, trumpetfish, and Canary Islands specialties. Occasionally, stingrays or barracudas may appear.

Included: Top-quality gear, professional guide, safety equipment, and flexible private group options (advance notice required).

To keep things flexible while securing your spot, we offer:

• Recreational Dives → Settle payment at our shop before heading out. No upfront fees!

• Diving Courses → Reserve with a small deposit (amount varies by course), then pay the rest on Day 1.

Good news! Your dive price already includes full equipment rental - no hidden costs! Just a few important notes:

✔️ We outfit all our guided divers with quality gear

✔️ Any lost/damaged equipment requires compensation

❌ Unfortunately, local laws prevent us from renting to non-clients

We provide all the dive gear—just bring:

✅ Swimsuit (to wear under the wetsuit)

✅ Towel & dry clothes (for after the dive)

✅ Comfortable shoes (sandals or flip-flops)

🌊 If using sunscreen, please choose reef-safe options to protect marine life!
