Scuba Diving Grades
Scuba Diving is covered to the confirmed depths per Grade, provided you are diving under the direction of an accredited Dive Marshal, Instructor or Guide.
If you are suitably qualified and are not diving alone, the cover is provided within the guidelines of the relevant diving or training agency or organisation, as confirmed below:
- PADI Open Water - 18 metres
- PADI Advanced Open Water - 30 metres
- BSAC Ocean Diver - 20 metres
- BSAC Sports Diver - 35 metres
- BSAC Dive Leader - 50 metres
Common Injuries
Most importantly, for divers going to this depth of water, symptoms of nitrogen narcosis can occur at 30 metres.
This condition temporarily alters the consciousness, affecting the senses and movements of a Diver and causing them to experience numbness. It can also lead to hallucinations.
- A change in air pressure can cause damaged sinuses and ruptured eardrums
- Disability or even death, in extreme cases, can be the result of decompression sickness.
- Oxygen toxicity can cause the diver to have a seizure and drown
- Hypothermia necessitates the use of a wetsuit even in mild waters
Scuba Diving Activities
Leagues Ahead Diving in Gran Canaria offers a Range of Scuba Activities. The water averages 19 - 22 degrees year-round, meaning you'll never be too cold!
Leagues Ahead also offer a full Scuba Diving Kit, including a thermal wetsuit for the colder months. If you visit in January, you'll be at the height of Angel Shark season. Be sure to try to spot one of these on your trips!
Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
If you have been Scuba Diving before and may have had an injury or accident whilst participating in Scuba Diving, you must declare this when purchasing a policy.
We have several providers who can offer travel insurance, including Scuba Diving and if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
