- There are dives for all levels from beginners to experienced; for children, for women and for experienced divers?
- you can extend your diving skills with PADI courses taught by PADI Elite Instructors?

Then look no further. Davy Jones Diving in Arinaga is one of the leading PADI Five Star Centres in the Canary Islands, where great diving, a warm welcome and professional training standards are all applied.
In 2018 they were awarded the PADI Outstanding Achievement award for their excellent feedback from students and commitment to excellence in teaching.
There is plenty of colourful marine life to see in the Canary Islands, but not much coral. The Canary Islands are volcanic in nature, which as lead to a more varied sea-floor where you can find caves, arches and tunnels in the volcanic rocks. These are often the daytime hiding places for rays, glasseyes, spiny pufferfish and other nocturnal animals.
Mr boyfriend and I are both Advanced Open Water divers, and as soon as our credentials and insurance were checked (as it should be!) we were off on 10 awesome and varied dives on the marine reserve and also in the north of the island in Sardina. As we are experienced in diving around the world, it was fantastic to know how safe and knowledgeable the team were - especially Ed and Brett! We really could not have asked for more. I highly recommend Davy Jones for their professionalism, experience and friendliness. I would most certainly return!
