- katrinas2520 contributionsMy teenagers "favourite thing of the whole holiday"Just back from holiday and when we asked our teenage daughter what was her favourite part, scua diving was her immediate answer. We met James and he immediately put her at ease. He explained the equipment and gave her all the instructions so patiently. We immediately trusted him to look after our daughter in the water. She got to see so many different fish and loved every minute of it. They also had a camera with them and sent us on some photos and videos which was amazing. I can't recommend these guys enough... We will definitely be back again!Written August 21, 2024

- NikkiJ790 contributionsFirst Dive and what an experience! ThanksWe had the pleasure of diving with James and Anthony and I can’t thank them enough for their patience with myself and my 17 year old son and 19 year old nephew we had a great afternoon and felt safe and relaxed the whole time. Getting to see some of the beautiful fish around the cove of Amodores beach and learning skills of scuba diving was a highlight of the holiday. We were collected from our hotel in Puerto Rico and driven to the beach where the equipment was waiting for us, we were offered the GoPro footage of the dive with no pressure to purchase but I’m glad we did as we got some great little videos and photos. Thanks again guys I would 100% recommend your dive school in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work Nicola, Ben and JoelWritten August 10, 2024

- Q3805NCjoshm0 contributionsThe most fun you can have getting wet!I took my 10 year old son for a snorkeling trip with Leagues Ahead and they absolutely lived up to the name - every part of the experience was fun, exciting, and safe. Thank you Sophie for a warm welcome (and much needed coffee!) and to James and Ben for an unforgettable experience - you made my son (not the strongest swimmer) feel totally secure, and he will remember finding the stingray forever! You also helped put my Nervous Dad-ishness at ease :D We have so many wonderful memories of our Gran Canaria trip, and snorkeling is right at the top of the pile - I cannot recommend this enough and we both are excited to come back soon. Thank you again Team LAD, see you next summer!Written August 5, 2024
- esmeeslootmans0 contributionsAmazing!This week we completed our Padi open water divers. All of the staff is really nice, open and helpfull. Sophie helped us to get everything sorted out. We then did the course guided by Emil. He was a really positive, patient and rewarding guide. We loved following the course and can proudly announce that we are now certified divers. Thanks to every one who helped us!Written July 25, 2024

- 679ChrisB6790 contributionsOopen Water scuba driver courseA brilliant dive school. From my initial email exchange, through first-impressions in person, to the training and subsequent certification, I could not have asked for a better experience. A bunch of genuinely lovely people, good equipment (from my admittedly limited experience), easy collection & return from my hotel and an all-around engaging, challenging but fun process. Paulo (my instructor for the two main learning days) was excellent. Patient, calm, knowledgeable and encouraging. If you’re looking to do your PADI Open Water course whilst in Gran Canaria then I’m very happy to recommend Leagues Ahead. Enjoy!Written May 17, 2024
- Camper6480780 contributionsA great experienceWe were picked up on time by Paulo who was friendly and very helpful. Our kit fitted perfectly once we’d squeezed into it. We were given clear instructions and advice plus a preview of what to look for. We were in the water for well over an hour and had a brilliant time at Amadores Beach. There were lots of fish of all shapes and sizes and some crabs in the rocky areas. The shoals of fish came really close and swam around and beneath us as we floated on the surface. Visibility was excellent. We felt very safe with Pablo who stayed nearby and pointed out things we would otherwise have missed. A really good trip we can recommend wholeheartedlyWritten April 23, 2024
- R5887MGdavidb0 contributionsGreat diving experienceJust had a dive after many years away from diving I got this as a birthday present for my partner 100% loved it no hassle or long intro Sophie was lovely and understanding and the team make you feel at ease and safe it has reignited my passion for diving and would definitely use them again,thank you all so much.Written April 16, 2024
- H9755CMhelenr0 contributionsLovely snorkelling experienceLovely experience, booked via WhatsApp Sophie was really helpful. Collected from hotel and taken to collect equipment then onto a picturesque cove for snorkelling. All information and safety briefing was clear. Hubby and I couldn’t get the hang of it, so we left it to the teens who thoroughly enjoyed the experience, they saw a good variety of fish, octopus etc, Paolo pointed lots of things out on the sea bed and between the rocks that they could have missed, a really enjoyable experience from a friendly teamWritten April 12, 2024

I have been spending one week in Gran Canaria with the family and I was lucky enough to find this dive school on my path. They have fantastic reviews and now I know why. The level of commitment, professionalism and quality these guys put into their operation is absolutely mind blowing. I dove two days with them, the first time it was a discover dive with my brother in law which I also joined and James has been fantastic with putting everyone at ease, explaining the various steps and leading a beautiful dive in a comfortable bay of the east coast of the island. The next day I did two more dives for certified divers together with Paulo in another stunning dive spot. During the two days we could see lots of marine life..from octopuses to cattle fish to schools of barracudas, crabs and even two gorgeous sea horses which I had on my wish list for a long time. Diving with these guys is super comfortable…you can WhatsApp them and Sophie will reply in no time and explain what to do, absolutely brilliant and definitely on point…I was really super impressed with the quality and speed of our communication; they will come and pick you up at your hotel, little stop at the dive center for paperwork and try on the gear (they don’t take any risk and that feels great!) and then off in the water. Hands down one of the best dive schools I found around the world so far. Can’t wait to be back in Gran Canaria and dive again with them. Sophie, James & Paulo thanks very much once again for everything, take care and until next time!
Best regards,
Manu

This was the first time that I have dived in the more than 20 years since I qualified Padi Open Water. James, Sophie, Ailsa, Emilio and team are absolute class. They take super good care of their clients to make sure they have a safe and fun experience. Communication from booking enquiry through to last drop off was proactive and effective. If you want to dive when in GC I highly recommend these guys.

Top quality equipment and well run shop, highly organised and offer a pickup/ drop off service to your accommodation. Great dive sites, plenty of octopus to see as well as a Ray, seahorse and eels (along with the usual characters).
Special mention to Elsa who was exceptional, her energy, enthusiasm, positivity and professionalism really made the experience, it felt more like diving with an old friend than a stranger. I would make a special point of booking with this company again.

I have dived with Leagues now over 20 times over the course of two trips and they are easily one of the best dive centres, I have dived with in my 4 years as a qualified diver. The League’s experience begins from the minute you contact them on their website to the moment they hand you back your rinsed and packed kit after your last dive. I have had the fortune this trip to dive with all of their Instructors and DM’s except James who I have previously dived with and can honestly say that they are extremely professional, open and friendly and dedicated to giving you a safe and enjoyable dive experience. I have never undergone training with them but my parter is currently halfway through his DiveMaster Course with them and I am happy to vouch for the quality of their training. They have a little competition based on the reviews they get online, last time I think I was pretty partisan but my vote this time has to be with Ben (the 3rd best DiveMaster, his words not. Mine) in a casual conversation we were having he gave me a little snippet of advice around buoyancy control that I doubt he even remembers but it really helped my diving that trip. But a massive thank you to James & Sophie, Paulo, Emil and Ben.

I can't recommend this experience highly enough. I booked my 15 year old son and newly qualified PADI diver for the 2 dive experience and he absolutely loved it.
From the outset, Sophie was super efficient with the administration, my son was picked up and dropped off right on time.
The dive team, Ben and Anthony were mega professional throughout, making sure the right level of diving was tailored to my sons diving experience. I would book him on it again, no hesitation.
Thank you Leagues Ahead Diving! 👌

Went to El cabron this October (2023) as a newly qualified open water diver with leagues ahead and it was amazing. Sophie had previously gather all equipment needed for this dive prior to arriving so every thing was ready to go which was good . El Cabron wasn’t far from the dive shop so didn’t take long in the van. It was very pretty as it is a marine reserve holding lots of fish and marine life. We had Paulo and Emil as our instructors both are very helpful , friendly and happy to be working with you. Before our dive in the briefing paulo and Emil went over all our signal and emergency procedures in case any thing was to happen. They were also on hand to help with kit if needed. Both instructors help with fins, mask and entering the water. They were over all very helpful. On this dive we saw an angle shark (which I was told is quite lucky at this time of year) , lost or octopus , cuttle fish , eels , arrow crabs , sea enemies, and a star fish and hundreds of schools of fish. All were great sites . The site was overall amazing and with cool rock structures and arches to swim through. The staff were also amazing. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning to leagues ahead diving.

I have dived on three separate holidays with Leagues Ahead, the last time was September 2023.
I found them to be very professional, especially Sophie in the dive centre. When I arrived recently for my dive all the kit was ready for me as they had my details from previous visits. It made life easy for me.
At the dive site; Rinco Verde, the group of five divers, I was in, were all given very clear briefing. For the first dive there was a dive leader and an additional following diver overseeing the group. The second dive had an extra overseeing diver.
At all times I felt confident being underwater, leading to a safe and enjoyable two dives.
I would particularly mention the dive leader; Emil and my Leagues Ahead dive buddies Viva and Ben.
My dives in previous years was Paulo, who is very knowledgeable on marine life. On this occasion he led a different group.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - the most friendly, welcoming and professional dive centre I have used. From the initial messages to book dives before I arrived in Gran Canaria right through to the dives themselves, nothing was a problem, Sophie was always at the end of the phone to organize everything . Pick up from hotel was on time and always with hugs and smiles. You also get a bit of history on the journey to the dive site by Emil. Felt relaxed right away ( I was by myself). James is fantastic and will go out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. ( Extra muffins on day 2 of diving😂) He is also very knowledgeable about the singer Sting (don't ask 😂😂) The dives themselves are NEVER rushed and you have lots of time to explore, in my case for octopus to make friends with. We had a bubble making class with Emil, we all failed but it's something to keep working on. Can't wait to come back and dive with Leagues Ahead, which they are. See you all soon guys

What a splendid experience! I can't recommend Leagues Ahead Diving enough. From the jump, Sophie expertly coordinated a unique dive experience for my wife and I on our honeymoon. My wife has never been scuba diving before, while I have my Open Water cert.
Sophie catered to our needs an experience and booked us for two dives. The first was a beginner shore dive from the lovely beach of Tufia, a short drive away from the dive center. Our dive master, Paulo, expertly communicated dive theory and safety to my wife, who was a little nervous going into the experience. Paulo put my wife at ease, and she and I enjoyed a safe, fun dive together.
Afterward, my wife hung out on the lovely black sand beach while Paulo and I did Dive 2 together. We were able to go deeper, and we saw even more beautiful wildlife. I was able to interact with a playful octopus, which is an experience I'll remember and cherish for a long time!
The entire operation is well -run, friendly, safe, and a great value. Thank you very much for making this experience on our honeymoon so memorable!
