Acuarios Jandia - Canary Islands
The team at Acuarios Jandia are some of the most genuinely enthusiastic divers we’ve met in the Canaries. They really shine when it comes to getting new divers comfortable in the water, but they’ve also got a knack for showing experienced divers something new, even if you think you’ve seen it all around Fuerteventura. We love that they offer both PADI and SSI, giving you options, and their freediving and surf survival courses are a unique addition we rarely see bundled together. You’d pick Acuarios Jandia if you’re looking for a friendly, professional outfit that feels more like diving with mates than a big, impersonal operation. Their focus on the south of Fuerteventura means they know these sites intimately, from the playful garden eels swaying in the sand to the occasional angel shark lurking under a rocky overhang. Our favourite moments with them often involve drifting through volcanic tunnels, watching the light play on the walls, or spotting a plump cuttlefish camouflaged against the reef. Expect thorough briefings, decent rental gear, and a relaxed vibe back at the centre. They’re excellent at helping you build confidence, whether you’re just trying diving for the first time or finally getting around to that advanced cert.
