Davy Jones DivingDive center

Davy Jones Diving specializes in the Del Cabrón Marine Reserve at Arinaga, on Gran Canaria. The instructors dive there every day, and the PADI 5 Star Dive Center says it knows routes few other schools use. It also says this is the one spot on the island where cavern and cave dives are easy to reach.

The reserve has more than ten routes, from shallow relaxed dives to deeper ones, with spiny pufferfish, barred hogfish, angel sharks and several kinds of stingray among the residents. Courses run in small groups, and a free minibus collects divers from the southern hotels, about 20 minutes away. The team works in English, Spanish, Dutch and German, and also runs conservation programs.
