Buceo Sur Gran Canaria
Buceo Sur is a small family-run dive centre in Playa de Arinaga, in the municipality of Agüimes on the east coast of Gran Canaria, close to the El Cabrón marine protected area. It dives all around the island according to the day's conditions and each group's level, always in small groups, and offers try dives for beginners, courses and guided dives for certified divers.
Buceo Sur is a family business with an official licence from the Canary Islands Government that sells directly, without intermediaries. It is run by Yann, a French instructor trained in France, the French Antilles, New Caledonia and Corsica, who settled in the Canaries in 2014 and took over the club in 2015; the team also includes a Canarian instructor with 30 years of diving on the island. The 200-square-metre centre in Playa de Arinaga, about 15 kilometres from the airport, has hot showers, toilets, a compressor, a training room and a repair workshop.
The dive site cannot be chosen when booking: the technical director decides according to wind, tides, weather and the group's level, and the centre's favourite area is the El Cabrón marine reserve. For people who have never dived there are two options: a try dive at Risco Verde with one instructor per person, or the SSI Basic Diver course, with a first session in the natural pool of Zoco Negro followed by a dive at Risco Verde. Certified divers need their certification card, a medical certificate or declaration and dive insurance, which can also be taken out at the centre. Booking ahead is advisable in high season.
