Overall Rating

Scubasur was a good operation.  They were on time, safety concious, and
very helpful.  The boats are Zodiacs, so don't expect luxury.  We (me, wife
and friend) dived a couple of sites on the Gran Canary.  After our first
dive, wife and friend bagged it, since there was lousy visibility and
little to see even when visibility improved.  I went on a second dive to a
supposedly "good" dive site.  Same story.  Lanzarote may be OK,
but forget Gran Canary for diving.  We did drive around the island, which
is pretty spectacular on the West side, and had some great food in Las
Palmas.  However, at the end of the trip, our rental car (a small Opel) was
broken into and we lost passports, air tickets (Regional Air Lines from
Morocco - don't ever bother), clothes, cameras, and computers.  We were
told later that this is really common (and in fact another car with the
same problem pulled up behind us just as the police arrived).  Police and
people at the airport (airline and everything else) were especially
unhelpful.  Required a trip to Madrid for replacements.  All in all, the
trip from hell - with a couple of bright spots.
