Leagues Ahead Diving - Canary Islands

The team at Leagues Ahead Diving are the kind of people you immediately feel comfortable with, whether you’re strapping on a tank for the first time or shaking off the rust after a long break. They’re based in Playa del Ingles, an easy jaunt to a surprising number of spots – seriously, over 200 sites in the area means you're not seeing the same seabed twice in a week. We love their knack for making every dive feel personal; it’s not just a cattle car operation. For us, Leagues Ahead really shines with their instructional side. If you're looking to start your PADI Open Water or even eye a Divemaster internship, they’ve got a patient, thorough approach. We always appreciate a centre that doesn't rush the skills, making sure you actually *get* it before moving on. The equipment is always in good nick too, which is a small but crucial detail for peace of mind. Our favourite thing might be their ability to find a quiet corner, even at popular sites. One morning we had a spectacular drift dive past a wall draped in orange gorgonian, just us and a few parrotfish crunching on coral, while other boats were clearly elsewhere. That kind of local knowledge makes all the difference. If you want a dive operation that feels like diving with friends, these are your people.
