Really nice diving shop. I had 4 dives in 2 days, and they took really good care of me. Both Kate and the employees were delightful and helpful. It’s not everywhere you get so much assistance with your gear.

Thanks for these. wonderful days. Such a professional and efficient team. Sasha is a very good guide!
Dropped my son for his month diving and ended up doing 5 excellent dives including caves / arches and wrecks. The dive team were great and everyone was really friendly and helpful
It's been 18months since I last dived with Blue Water Diving and they welcomed me back as if I had never been away. The staff are excellent, attentive and a real pleasure to dive and make bubbles with - I would thoroughly recommend to anyone coming out to Grand Canaria to dive with them - thank you. Doc
We had a brilliant week diving with the Blue Water Diving team. Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. A great experience at some interesting locations - from seeing our first angelshark to looking out for the tourist submarine, it was certainly memorable!
We booked 4 days diving for our 15 year old who had recently passed his PADI in Egypt, Kate and Chris were great along with all the staff very friendly and helpful My son had an amazing time on his four days of diving and even did his first night dive, if we come back to Gran Canaria we would definitely book dives again with Blue water diving
Did 3 days diving & had a lovely time. Felt safe & well looked after by Chris & the dive team. They also did as much as possible to do different locations so I could experience the different dive sites locally. Saw lots of different fish (loads of trumpet & damsels!) & an angel shark plus arrowhead crabs etc etc. Water wasn’t too cold at 21° but glad of the long wetsuit. Kate was also great in responding to emails before I arrived so the whole thing went very smoothly. Would totally recommend & will dive with them again when back in Puerto Rico.
What a great bunch of people to dive with. Chris and Kate are a fabulous team. They have vast knowledge of diving and put even the most nervous of people at ease there is no rush to get you in. Everything is catered to your pace. I would definitely recommend every time.
I can’t thank the Blue Water Diving Team enough - what started out as just a couple of dives to make some bubbles ended up as 6 wonderful dives, all at different locations. Each dive has created lasting memories. Chris, Kate and the team are consummate professionals and it was a real joy diving with them, thank you for a great 3 days of diving. I would completely recommend the BWD if you are wanting start the diving journey or to just make bubbles. I have been lucky and dived around the world and have sparse with writing reviews, but I sincerely recommend BWD as my choice of divers to make bubbles with in Grand Canaria! If I come back I for sure will will back under the surface with Chris, Kate and the Team
Having started out scuba diving with Blue Water Diving, we came back to go out on some leisure dives this time. Kate was extremely helpful and arranging everything was simple and straightforward. Every member of the team is friendly, welcoming and clearly passionate about diving. We went to a variety of dive sites for shore entry and (shiny new) boat entry dives. While every minute was enjoyable, there were no corners cut in terms of safety (e.g. briefings, where safety equipment is etc), which makes you feel reassured and safe going to unfamiliar dive locations. I would highly recommend Blue Water Diving, whether you are a beginner or a more experienced diver! Thanks again to Kate, Chris, Carolyn, Jess, Ed and Richard for a really fun week! See you all soon!
Visited Gran Canaria and thanks to Blue Water Diving I had awesome time there. Both Chris and Kate, operating there dive shop are very professional. Always on time and full of interesting stories are the two things I will take away from their personalities. When it comes to scuba diving, spot on! The group (crew) was young and well suited for my experience level (I'm a rescue diver with about 130 logged dives). I can tell much about their equipment since I have my own ones, but what I could observe it is of a good quality. The team is taking good care of the equipment, diving preparations and they follow all the procedures. On drive sites we saw a lot of marine life. Big and small stingrays, barracudas, groupers and other fish. The last dive we did was a night dive (upon my request). The underwater marine life during the night is different - highly recommend. We spotted octopuses, squids, crabs, sea snake and the star of the night - a baby angel shark. My diving couldn't have ended better!
I spent three great days diving with Chris and Kate. They were really fun to be around above and below the surface. The dive sites they took my too were all full of marine life. The highlight fish for me were Rays, Trumpetfish, Cuttlefish, Seahorse and Barracudas.
What a great week with Blue Water Diving in Gran Canaria! Shore dives, boat dives, night dives; wrecks, reefs; a night dive and a drift dive! Chris, Kate and Carolyn are a great team; friendly, professional and nothing is too much trouble. When I was there a group of 4 interns was in training for Dive Master, so all levels of expertise catered for! Thoroughly recommended! Thanks everyone!
We spent 5 days diving with Blue Water including 2 night dives and we had a brilliant time - the shop is organised and well run, Chris and Kate were always accommodating, all practices are very safe, the instructors are friendly and very knowledgable and we had a particularly good experience with instructors Kevin and Carolyn who helped make our trip so enjoyable. It is also worth noting they are one of the few centres on the island who have their own boat so they have a lot of flexibility for dive sites. We’d happily dive with them again and would recommend to anyone either going through certification or just enjoying recreational dives as we were.
Returned again for more diving with Chris and Kate. What an amazing few days diving with great company. Would recommend and I will be returning very soon.
Had a brilliant week diving with Chris and co at Blue Water diving. We did 5 days diving in total and loved every one of them. Everyone was really friendly and had a right laugh. Really good diving too - water exceptionally clear and not as cold as I expected for December!! Saw fantastic sea life; sharks, rays, eels....thoroughly recommend. Particularly enjoyed the night dive — spooky but fun.
These guys are great. They made my stay in Gran Canaria, as the owners and all the team are very friendly and relaxed - which is exactly what you want on a dive trip. Everything was organised to perfection! And the fun (but serious) guide Gery, made every dive an adventure, while the young interns helped make the days feel effortless. Definitely going back soon to say hello again to all the fish we got to see.
A fabulous company to deal with. They looked after me from start to finish, Chris, Kate and the team were fun to be with and was made to feel safe and one of the team. They have dive sites for all from beginners to the more advanced at the Cathedral. Thank very much and definitely will see you soon.
Had dived in Gran Canaria a few times now, but Blue Water Diving was by far my favourite. Kate was so friendly and accommodating from the start and Gery is as good as diving guides come. These guys know what they're doing and will make sure you're having a great time. 100% recommend!
Weather and water conditions are what they are, but the value of a good dive center is making the most of what they have and in this case BWD excelled.
Looking for a diving center on Gan Canaria, I quickly landed at Blue Water Diving. The quick and uncomplicated contact with Kate made my booking easy. All commitments were 100% fulfilled! The diving (6 dives plus one night dive) was super relaxed and eventful. I (AOWD, 35 TG) felt safe and well looked after at all times. Thanks to Chris, Gery and Caroline for the wonderful dives! I can recommend the base without restriction!
