This is a wonderful dive shop, we found them when looking to hire some scuba gear for training. So helpful. Highly recommend them.

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!

I arranged the discover scuba package for my son and I and have to say from 1st contact the team were amazing and experience more than we could have expected, James even took go pro photos and videos. Such a great reminder of our scuba experience, safe and professional would recommend 100%

We 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 Joel

To give this review some context, I’ve never been bothered to leave a review before, however I felt the need to do so after my excellent experience with ‘Leagues Ahead Diving’, Gran Canaria. My partner arranged a days diving (2 shore dives) for us both with Sophie by email, which was prompt and helpful, explaining where we were likely to dive, we also received confirmation of our dives on arrival to the island. We were collected from our hotel by James and friendly discussion about the diving ensued as we were transported to the dive centre. On arrival all introductions were made of all the staff there. I have visited a number of dive centres in the 30 years I’ve been diving and at the centre it was clear that not only was it a slick, well organised operation, dealing with our necessary admin etc and equipment fitting very promptly and comfortably (my partner is new to diving and was a little nervous) but also was very friendly and welcoming to all levels of diver from try divers, students undertaking courses and experienced divers. This is important to me as I believe all levels of divers should be welcomed, but particularly those new to diving and from our brief experience with them I believe this to be the case there. After sorting out our equipment, decent Cressi suits, Cressi BCDs and regs, it was quickly loaded into the minibus, each bag labelled with our name, for us to start our 20 mins or so journey to the east side of the island to our dive location, Tufia. After being pre warned by our guide, Ben, that the east side of the island is constantly windy, this was definitely confirmed on our arrival at the car park above the village, however Ben’s comprehensive dive brief and view of the conditions sheltered in the cove below us gave us confidence all was fine to dive there. His brief included practical considerations of kitting up at the minibus, walking down the hill through the village to the beach, entry and exit to the water, what we may expect to see on the dive, a plan of our route, our plan with air consumption considerations and a review of the signals we would use with Ben and our fellow divers, another couple. My focus was making the experience as enjoyable as possible for my partner. This was the warmest water she has dived in so far (23C) and good clear visibility of 10-15m. A slightly tricky entry over large pebbles on the beach at low tide but nothing out of the ordinary for shore diving in the UK. We enjoyed 2 superb dives there, spotting much marine life, taking things steady with many local fish, barracuda, trumpet fish, nudibranch, octopus, cuttlefish, squid and even an Angel shark, semi buried in the sand and usefully pointed out by Ben. A sensible surface interval helped by a bit of cake being provided gave us ample opportunity to chat and change cylinders. Our second dive was well planned by Ben as our group had a newly qualified diver join us (the other couples son). Great to see the family be encouraged to dive together by Ben and the other guide, Emil and also to see how them both adapted our dive for this. A differing air consumption in the group meant that Ben with my partner and I planned to extend the dive further to ensure a full experience for us. As a group we had a great dive and enjoyed the marine life again and even experienced a small ‘swim through’ some of the volcanic rock before we split the group with Ben , my partner and I extending our dive. As previously discussed with Ben we did experience slight surge and movement as we neared the corner of the sheltered cove, this proved no problem and was a new experience for my partner, with Ben winning points with her at the end of the dive by complimenting her on her buoyancy control. The pre warned walk with equipment back up the hill didn’t seem so bad at all and we were both buzzing from the dives. No rush for us to dismantle the kit and get changed. Back in the minibus we discussed with Ben and Emil possible snorkelling location recommendations for us around the island. We then travelled back to our resort and were dropped directly off at our hotel, feeling a little guilty of not helping to rinse the kit we’d used. Our only regret is that we didn’t plan another days diving into our stay, however, by following Sophie’s well written website page on snorkelling advice around the island we had a great time exploring those locations. Overall we were very impressed by our brief but excellent 1 days diving with Leagues Ahead diving and we wish Sophie, James and their team all the best in the future. Jamie & Becky

What an amazing crew! The way they handles us and the diving trip was out of this world! Felt safe all the time and never wondered what was going to happen next. Also, all of the crew was really nice and professional. Would definitively go back for another trip if the opportunity arises.

One word: EMIL. 🤙 What a great instructor; his directions were very clear, he was friendly, kind and customer focused. 👌 We saw an angel shark and had 2 great dives in Tufia. He was very thorough with safety procedures, and I felt very comfortable every step of the way. Thank you Emil for such a great day 👏👏👏

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! 👌

Great setup and brilliant guided dives. The whole team are so friendly and professional.Sophie is on the ball with all the information and its a complete pleasure to dive with this centre.

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!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Sophie was great at communicating everything we needee to know and our instructors were efficient and friendly. We felt very safe and well looked after. There were 4 of us aged 17 to 47 and everything was explained in a clear and patient way. We had 2 instructors for our group of 4 and had a brilliant diving experience. Id say dont book with anyone else! Highly recommended 😁

We had a great time on our dive this week. Wonderful experience from start to finish. Three instructors came with us so it was basically a one to one lesson. Special thanks to Ben, Emil and Paulo for their excellent teaching skills and patience.

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.

Just returned from Gran Canaria including 3 days of diving with Leagues Ahead . Sophie,James and the whole team were amazing, very warm and welcoming , offering fantastic customer service from start to finish . We were collected from our hotel on time, all of our kit was prepared and ready for us and even rinsed post dive . Thanks again to Ben,Emil and Paulo who accompanied us on 6 fantastic dives, offering just the appropriate level of support whenever needed. They were thoughtful, calm and patient . We loved diving in Gran Canaria and would highly recommend Leagues Ahead Diving for both beginners and qualified divers .

A 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!
