Our opinion on Buceo Sur dive center in Gran Canaria: 

When diving with Buceo Sur in Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, you will soon see that the impossible IS possible when you dive with them! As a diver you want to be able to dive in whichever season you wish, dive amongst Mediterranean AND tropicalmarine life, dive with a French team but not in France, dive to French standards but with international certifications and dive in a popular location without feeling lost within the masses – Here, ALL of this is possible and much more!

Just four hours flying time from Paris, French dive center Buceo Sur is to be found within the Arinaga resort in Gran Canaria. They happily open their doors and their ocean floor all year round!

In response to to international demand, the Buceo Sur dive center offers PADI, CMAS and SSI courses and training. The latter is preferred by owner Yann who adds his famous ‘French Touch’ and along with ‘dive code’ ensures one instructor for every four divers.

Diving in the Canaries will take you on a discovery of the Atlantic Ocean with its sharks, stingrays, angel sharks and barracudas. Enjoy beautiful tropical marine life such as trumpet fish, parrotfish, triggerfish and porcupine pufferfish and also Mediterranean fish like schools of barracudas, jacks and octopi, its truly a magical cocktail!

Buceo Sur, a spacious dive center of more than 200m2 is the heart soul of its team and its divers.  A friendly, enjoyable place with a great atmosphere, comfortable changing rooms, additional equipment and facilities areas to ensure all your needs are met ( want a 300bar tank? Just ask and you’ll be served!) and a classroom adapted for knowledge and safety training.

If you want your expectations exceeded then do not hesitate and head to Gran Canaria and ask for Yann from Buceo Sur!

Since, he has done—or almost done-- all the seas on the globe: Mexico, Greece, the Red Sea, Australia, and Indonesia! His favourite activity is sharing his diving enthusiasm, know-how, and insatiable curiosity with you! Did we mention that Marc would try his hand at anything? He’s organised many world records, tested the gear for some of the biggest name brands, written articles, provided advice for travel agencies, trained divers… As you can see, it’s never boring with Marc!

On site accommodation

Surrounding the  Buceo sur dive center are a wide selection of accommodation options varying in comfort and facilities. It is for this reason that Buceo Sur do not recommend any one particular and instead give guests the option to either rent a full equipped unit on Arinaga beach or a rural cottage in the old center of Aguimes with its historical cobblestones and streets full of charm. The dive center will take care of transfers if necessary.
