An amazing diving experience, especially for beginners! It was such a great adventure and we felt safe and excited the whole time. Everything was explained clearly, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the dive. Mike was incredibly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the entire experience. Highly recommended for anyone starting their diving journey!
What is this tour like?
Puerto Rico Diving is a PADI centre in the Europa shopping centre of Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria, in the south-west of the island, and its try dive is the standard way to breathe underwater for the first time without a licence. The programme is three hours: theory and a shallow-water skills session, then a guided dive of up to 45 minutes. The operator caps groups at four participants per instructor and takes children from 10 years old.
The centre holds 4.9 on Google from 398 reviews as of 3 September 2026, and reviewers keep naming the same two instructors — Mike and Marion — for calming first-timers down. The price of €89 covers equipment rental, insurance and sales tax; the operator states prices include the 7% IGIC. Underwater photos or a GoPro are an option for €10 extra (the Discover Scuba + Photos package is €99). Transfers are not stated for try dives, so plan on getting to the centre yourself. Staff work in English, Spanish, French and Italian.

“We had an amazing experience. It was our first time diving so naturally, we were nervous. Marion did such a great job putting us at ease, explaining everything and we felt very safe, informed and empowered. Loved every minute of the dive!! Also just generally a super customer centric team, we needed some flexibility and they were really accommodating. We highly recommend and would book again!!”
“An exceptional experience for our 11-year-old son! Our son, Charlie, recently completed his PADI Open Water course with Puerto Rico Diving, and we honestly couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. We first got in touch via WhatsApp several months before our holiday, and the communication was excellent from the very beginning. They arranged Charlie's e-learning well in advance.”
