Free Diving guide of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

“Shipwrecks in Las Palmas, cataclysmic basaltic tunnels and underwater cliffs at La Catedral, a volcanic maze at La Baja Fernando, shoals at El CabrAón, spiny butterfly rays, common sting rays and angel sharks on the sandy bottom in Sardina del Norte,..., extreme diving in Gando.

20 years travelling round the world: from Chuuk to Sudan, from the Bahamas to Layang Layang, from Palau to Jardines de la Reina, always to return to Gran Canaria, to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

Because this island is the closest and yet the least known of underwater landscapes, and Las Canteras beach is its crown jewel”

The world's first power heated wetsuit

The idea was straightforward. Design and build the world's first power-heated wetsuit. The concept was unique. Rip Curl has made the best surfing wetsuits since 1969, but never before have innovation, technology and science so meticulouslly challenged.


The plan was precise. Research, development, testing and production unrivalled. Succes would open up a new frontier for surfing exploration. Failure was not an option.

The Rip Curl H-Bomb is now a reality. It has conquered the extremes of the Artic Circle. It is backed by oru elite surf team and performance tested by World Champion Mick Fanning.

The H-Bomb use 2 lithium-ion 7,4 volt batteries. Each battery weighs 120g. Batteries are rechargeable. Recharge time is aprox 3 hours to restore full power. The batteries power up heating elements on your back.


The batteries are carried in internal pockets on the lower back, positioned so there's minimal impact on your flexibility.


The temperature of the elements is controlled using 3 settings on the switch.

How to properly clean and your regulator after diving

This instructional video by Scuba.com will show you how to properly clean your regulator after a day of diving. You can keep it clean and in good condition if you rinse it with fresh warm water to remove all the salt. It will also help if you have the ability to attach it back to a tank and blow all the remaining water out. As always, a yearly inspection at your dive shop is needed.
