Buceo La Vieja is a dive centre at number 2, Calle Olof Palme, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The business describes itself as a family centre and aims for anyone coming through the door to feel at home. It is run by Juan Carlos and Yemi, who began their training in Valencia years ago and decided to stay in the Canaries once they got to know the seabed around the archipelago.
Training is the backbone of the centre: PADI courses both for those starting out and for experienced divers, plus specialty courses for anyone wanting to go further. Alongside the teaching, the centre organises dives, snorkelling outings and the try-dive activity known as Discover Scuba Diving, designed as a first contact with the equipment and with being underwater.
