PADI SCUBA Diving and Snorkelling in
Playa del Inglés Gran Canaria
You already know that Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés are famous for their beaches and the amazing
sand-dunes behind the beach... but in diving terms this means .. there is so much sand and no interesting habitats, so you won't see much
marine life and only a few metres of depth. If you compare this to the main dive sites on Gran Canaria, the beaches
are a bit like the famous dunes of Maspalomas .. a bit of a desert.
But you are in luck, as from our PADI 5-star diving centre in Maspalomas you can join our try-dives, excursions for beginners, PADI Diver training courses, snorkelling events, and experience dives for qualified divers at the most famous dive site on the island - the El Cabrón Marine Reserve.
