Scuba Sur Diving Gran Canaria

Scuba Sur Diving Gran Canaria runs from a small marina at Anfi del Mar, between Arguineguín and Puerto Rico. Belgian owners Anita and Joris took over an existing dive school in April 2015, after Joris trained as an instructor at centres across Europe and Anita completed dive-school management training. They run it as a family operation, not a franchise. Instruction is capped at two students per instructor across the full SSI and PADI range, from Open Water through Divemaster internships, with specialties in wreck diving, dry suit, deep diving, and an SSI decompression course extending beyond no-decompression limits to 40 metres. All equipment is Mares, Cressi, and Scubapro, and every diver on the boat is insured.

Daily trips typically pair two sites from a south-coast rotation: the volcanic reef at Pasito Blanco, a research reef placed in 1991 for marine-life study, the reef outside Arguineguín harbour, the paired Mogán wrecks, and the Meteor, a fragmented hydrofoil wreck off El Pajar. The boat sits right outside. Reviewers on this coast call that setup unusual, since most operators here need a separate trip just to reach their boat.

The same names keep coming up across TripAdvisor and the Google reviews embedded on the centre's own site: divemaster Robin, boat captain Frank, instructors Gabriel and Jack, and the two owners themselves. Reviewers describe a family-run outfit rather than a high-volume operation, with patience for mixed groups of beginners and certified divers on the same outing and no complaint about repeat trips to the same site. Briefings and safety come up specifically, not as generic praise. The one recurring caution is current strength at some sites, framed as a planning point rather than a criticism. Of 264 TripAdvisor reviews, 234 rate the centre Excellent, and Google ratings from 262 reviewers land at the same 4.9.
