Davy Jones Diving

About this dive shop

🌐 Davy Jones Diving - Specialists at the Del Cabrón Marine Reserve - Arinaga - Gran Canaria. Their instructors dive there every day so can show you all the little secrets and special sites to make every dive safe & special. Del Cabron has some of the best dive sites on the Island, you can explore different environments and marine habitats in the Marine Reserve at Dell Cabrón. You can chill out between dives and there is a cute little sandy beach if you have people that want to swim and relax while you dive. It is regarded by many as the best place to dive in Gran Canaria as it has four of the top ten dives in Gran Canaria, and was described by PADI as one of 'Three Incredible World-wide Marine Reserves'. It is the only area in Gran Canaria where you can easily dive in caverns and caves. With their intimate local knowledge they will show you more of the secrets - this the only place where divers can regularly see endangered species such as Spiny Pufferfish, Barred Hogfish and Caribbean Soldierfish, as well as triggerfish, angel sharks and five types of stingray. They run PADI courses in small personalised groups, so you can learn to dive in a huge natural aquarium with all the colourful fish such as wrasse and parrotfish and damselfish around you. 🚐 The centre is about 20 minutes from the main tourist hotels in the South of the Island and they offer a free minibus service to bring you to the reserve. 🐙 There are over ten different dive routes in the marine reserve, including easy 'chill dives' at 8-14m with lots of marine life; good recreational dives at around 18-20m which suit all Open Water or 1-star divers; and more challenging explorations for more qualified divers including a dive down to 30m to see the local field of corals. Some of the routes are only known or dived on a regular basis by their instructors, so they can show you lots of little highlights that other schools are unaware of. With this diversity they vary the dive routes, and adjust the plans to suit the experience levels and weather conditions on a daily basis. 🤿 If you are looking for somewhere to take a diving course, then the El Cabrón Reserve is an excellent choice, as there are a lot of different areas which suit different stages or parts of training. You always get to see lots of different marine life, even on introductory dives. They keep class sizes and ratios small so that everyone gets individual attention from their highly qualified instructors. 🏆 They have won several awards and been recognised by a variety of different organisations for their commitment to safe and enjoyable excursions and courses. They won PADI's top award, the PADI Outstanding Achievement award in 2018, and their commitment to excellent customer service also ensured entry into the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame for gaining a Certificate of Excellence every year from 2014 to 2019.
