    Sorry to say, but me and two friends had a very poor (fun) diving experience with Margullar Diving. We did two shore dives, which took us in total 7 hours instead of 4, because even though they were with 4 instructors, there was no structure or organization. All the dive masters were stressing around in the morning but getting nowhere with their haste. We as advanced fun divers were thrown in together with the open water course participants, which is something I have never seen before and ended up in complete chaos underwater: (1) we were a group of 12 people in total underwater, they could have easily split us up with 4 instructors, but didn't do so (2) the open water participants didn't understand the swimming order, which to be fair was only shouted around after we already went into the water (3) the instructors clumped us together like a herd, because they wanted to be able to see everybody at all times (no 1 on 1 buddy system), which (4) ultimately led to a dive where you were constantly busy with watching out for other divers and not being hit or accidentally hitting them with your fins and other body parts (5) so we didn't see a lot, didn't enjoy the dive, and consumed up way too much air for the very short dive (because open water divers usually use more air anyway) we did. So after the dive we asked them if we could split up. That was not possible, but they came up with a more clear structure then and luckily two of the fun divers already decided to leave again (I guess they didn't enjoy the experience either). So the second dive was a bit more structured, but then a lot more rushed as well. Any time I wanted to take a picture of a moray eel or octopus or other cool underwater life, the last instructor was banging his flashlight for me to swim after the group, because they were rushing through the ocean as if we had a school of hammerheads chasing us. There was hardly time to relax and enjoy the beautiful feeling of being submerged underwater. But the worst and most DANGEROUS part was that my friend had a malfunctioning BCD, which suddenly started inflating nonstop. This lead to unplanned surfacing from 15 meters depth, but none of the instructors did anything to help out or guide him. He was lost on the surface and they just stopped at the bottom staring up. He came back down, which is something he definitely shouldn't have done according to everything we googled afterwards, but they didn't even ask him how he was doing or care for him after the dive. No oxygen treatment, no rescue diver consultancy, nothing. They pretended like it didn't happen even after he approached them with the malfunctioning BCD. So please be warned and very careful if you decide to dive with Margullar Diving.

    World-class diving and lovely people! Joao and Eva took great care of us right from the beginning, and they went absolutely above and beyond through the very end. They were very supportive, kind, and patient, making each dive so comfortable. The places they took us to were mind blowing and full of life! It was almost magical the way they managed the whole group, led the fantastic dives, AND filmed the whole thing on top of it. Lastly, the debriefing at Risco Verde after the Saturday dive was top-notch 😌🍻. Thank you Joao and Eva for the gorgeous memories, and we will be sure to find you again when we return to Gran Canaria! 🤿🐠

    Best diving center in Gran Canaria ! They are really friendly, speak perfectly English, the dives were well organised and awesome, at playa del Cabron. During the dives they took videos with a GoPro and afterwards they sent us a video about the 2 dives all together! Great work! Keep it up!

    Great guide and instruction for me and my two sons, ages 12 and 14. We did a two-tank beach dive just down the street from the shop. Good quality equipment with the right sizes for kids. I appreciated the clear instructions, focus on safety, having fun, and reasonable prices. Thanks Margullar Diving!

    Very good experience for a beginner. The tutor gives a clear instruction in English before diving and very nice guide underwater. The diving spot is beautiful. We dived 43 min in the sea and reached 10m below the surface (normally 5-6m is for beginners, but we performed good enough for exploring deeper area ٩(๑^o^๑)۶). The teachers showed us some sea anemone and crabs hiding in the hole with a torch. Recommend to everyone one want to try diving for the first time.

    Introduced my boys to the underwater world with Margullar diving. Easy to book, friendly but safety conscious instruction and the staff really know the local shore dive site, well enough to show us an array of species and habitats in our short taster dive. We saw an octopus which made their day and we all felt very well provided for and looked after. Thank you to the team.
