Water Sports in Puerto RicoChoose From Parasailing to Scuba Diving in Gran Canaria
Puerto Rico,alive with action,is the best resort in Gran Canaria to enjoy a diversity of water sports such as the adrenalin rush jet skis or even a wild banana boat ride.
Puerto Rico is a must for Leisure SportsFor many years holiday makers have enjoyed a day out on the numerous boat cruises that sail daily from Puerto Rico’s sun kissed harbours, and now with the added attraction of more diverse water activities to chose from it’s a safe bet if you are looking to enjoy a thrill seeking holiday. ParasailingThe silk unfolds and the up current of air whisks the shute and passengers off the boat, rising rapidly to great heights over the sea as the excitement of parasailing begins to grab hold. Soaring gently through the clear blue skies, cradled only by the secure harness, is an absolutely fantastic way of seeing Gran Canaria’s coast from up high. With a nerve dangling dip of the feet in the sea before the winch winds you slowly back in to safety. Parasailing is available in both of Puerto Rico's harbours. Jet SkisThe best adrenalin rush to be found in Puerto Rico is from riding a jet ski as it bounces across the waves at thirty kilometres per hour. The powerful motors are a popular past time with the younger visitors and are frequently hired from the main harbour for a half an hour spin around the bay or from an out laying cove called Taurito that also has it’s own phenomenal lido. Banana Boat RideFor those wanting just a brief fun splash around on the sea then a banana boat ride is something to think about. Being towed along at break neck speed by the driver of a jet ski is guaranteed to produce a good few screams and giggles and also some intense moments of nerve breaking aquatic entertainment. SurfingSurfing is a relatively new addition to the water sport offerings in Puerto Rico. The very professional instructors at the PR Surfing School offer an extensive list of different courses both for beginners and experienced surfers. As the surf is not up in the south of the island very often, most of the surfing takes place on beaches in the north of the island such as Las Canteras in Las Palmas or in Pozo Izquierdo which is now well known for hosting the yearly world class championship competitions. DivingThe transparent seas in the Canary Islands make scuba diving conditions ideal and a constant all year round sport. The clear waters are abundant with an amazing variety of marine life, and most of the best diving spots are just a brief boat ride away from the harbour. Top Diving based in Puerto Escala is a long established diving organization in Puerto Rico; they offer Padi courses for those who would like to gain their license and also introductory lessons at very reasonable prices. There is equipment for hire for the already initiated and a decompression chamber on Playa de Amadores that is owned and maintained by Top Diving.
