Classified ads Company Acquisition

Since 1997 we have been part of the diving community in Gran Canaria. For us, Scuba Sur has never been just a company. It was our work, our passion, our home – and a place where we met people from all over Europe and made friendships, some of which have existed for many years.

Now we are looking for someone to continue writing this story.

For health reasons, we increasingly have to withdraw from the daily demands of dive center operations. That's why we've reached a point where we're looking for a successor to continue what we've built up over the years.

It is important to us to find the right person.

We hope that Scuba Sur will continue to be what it has always been: a personal, safe and warm dive center, run by people with a genuine passion for diving.

For the right person, this is more than an opportunity to take over an established company.

What you would take on

• A well-established diving center that has been successfully operating since 1997
• A superb location in the south of Gran Canaria with direct access to a private marina
• Year-round tourism and diving
• A loyal international customer base, including a strong community of repeat guests
• An excellent online reputation
• An established SSI Diamond Center with training offers from SSI and PADI
• Daily guided dives, introductory dives, dive training and snorkeling trips
• A fully equipped business that can continue from day one
• Established systems for operation, administration and customer management
• A company with a solid foundation and many opportunities for the next owner to develop it further

More than a company

Every year, people come to Gran Canaria for their holidays and take home memories of their first dive, a new certification or simply an unforgettable day underwater.

Some will come back next year.

Some have been coming back again and again for more than a decade.

This relationship with our customers is something we are particularly proud of – and something we hope the next owner will also place the same value on.

This dive center is an absolute beauty! When you enter it, it really has that wow factor! The place is huge and has endless possibilities.

The dive center, located in the lively town of Los Llanos de Aridane, is a thriving dive center where divers of varying levels enjoy nature above and below water all year round. Many visitors also come for snorkeling, take a taster dive or complete a diving course.

The dive sites are easily accessible and since the volcanic eruption in 2021 , new dive sites have emerged that can still be discovered. Almost all dive sites are accessible from the shore, with an easy entry and thus suitable for young and old, experienced and inexperienced divers. There are also a number of dive sites with slightly more difficult entry, which is a challenge for experienced divers.

And boat dives are offered, for diving at the new lava delta and on the - inaccessible from land - steep northwest coast with many small caves and tunnels.

We are also close to the port of Tazacorte, from where boat trips are organized. This is also a unique experience with views of the new volcano, the new lava deltas and special cave dive sites: La Cueva del Diablo, Cueva de Aqua Dulce and Cueva Colorada.

In the last 15 years we have built up a very large customer base with different nationalities, mainly Dutch, Germans, Belgians, Spaniards, but also from Switzerland, Austria, England and France. La Palma is very special, many divers like to come back every year. The mild climate and the special underwater world make La Palma a unique diving destination.

After 15 years, it's time for us to go back to family and start a new career.

LOS LLANOS DE ARIDANE

The diving company based in Rawai, Phuket was founded in 2014. Steady growth and a targeted, strategic realignment prompted the two owners to expand in 2019 and purchase a dive ship.

This enabled the company to position itself successfully in a niche in a new and extremely successful way. The business model includes individual diving in small groups and private settings, away from the mass diving industry that is common in Phuket. The dive ship is approved for 20 people plus 3 crew but is designed for only a maximum of 12 divers to maintain exclusivity.

Assets

• Established PADI 5-Star diving school, which was previously run by 2 people
• Operational dive ship with well-rehearsed and reliable crew
• Excellent reputation (with over 240 5-star Google reviews)
• Bilingual website ENG/DE with extensive content and top ranking in German
• Social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube
• Large, long-standing and recurring customer base
• Contracts with renowned tour operators
• 20" shipping container, converted into a swimming pool with viewing window
• Miscellaneous furniture for office and shop
• Car (Honda CR-V) and Scooter
• 4M Baht Thai Company with 2 Work Permits, TAT License, Phi Phi Islands National Park License, Renewed Ship License, Insurance etc.
• More...

The heart and the key to success is the charming dive ship, which was completely overhauled by the owner in 2019. In the last two years, all necessary maintenance work has been carried out regularly and various adjustments and improvements have been made. The reliable and safe dive ship is operational on a daily basis and is in immaculate condition. No costly repairs are to be expected. On board there is a breathing air compressor, 15 diving tanks, 10 buoyancy vests in different sizes, 8 regulators, various diving suits, masks and fins. In addition to the usual boat equipment, the inventory also includes a dinghy with outboard engine, a kayak and a SUP.

3 main reasons to choose Phuket

1. Excellent diving with an enormous abundance of fish and an impressive biodiversity. The diving operation takes place all year round, with the high season lasting between October and April. The tropical climate ensures pleasant air and water temperatures all year round.
2. Phuket Island combines Western amenities with Thai serenity. Visitors can move freely and safely to explore the country and its people up close. In addition to diving and relaxing on dream beaches, there are countless other leisure activities that guarantee an eventful and unforgettable holiday.

2. A popular holiday destination with easy travel thanks to direct flights from many countries of the world. The heavily frequented international airport in Phuket has excellent air traffic connections.

Recipe for success

The company and the dive operation is managed by the two owners with great personal commitment and tireless commitment. This reflects the philosophy where the experience is in the foreground and not the profit. Diving fanatics and ocean lovers, or those who want to become one, appreciate this.

During the pandemic, the owners have succeeded in maintaining the business with new, creative fields of activity, among other things. This is also to be credited to an independent and cost-effective entrepreneurial structure.

Current enlargement potential

Since the entry requirements and Covid restrictions for Phuket were relaxed, the demand for diving activities and diving courses has risen sharply right away. The offer, on the other hand, is no longer available indefinitely and a redistribution is currently taking place in Phuket. This offers unique opportunities to increase the volume including sales and profit with appropriate resources (personnel, financial resources, shop location, etc.). Another expandable...
