Our Open Water Diver course allows beginners to become certified divers through a 3-day program! Dive into a new adventure and receive the PADI certificate, which will open doors to future diving adventures.
Goal of the course
After a theory session and a minimum of 5 dives (training and open water dives), you will have learned the basic diving knowledge and the necessary skills. With the PADI Open Water Diver certificate, nothing stands in the way of a self-planned diving experience! In fact, with this certificate, you can dive anywhere in the world up to 18 meters deep, together with another certified diver.
Meeting & Preparation
The meeting point is at our base at the agreed starting time. We're also happy to pick you up at your hotel! With our air-conditioned van, we can drive to practically every hotel in the south of Tenerife and bring you to us, at the Las Vistas beach. Once we've all arrived at our destination, you'll first fill in the necessary documents in our shop, after which you'll get to our so-called "Wet Zone", our main base which is only a few metres from the shop. In the Wet Zone, you can get changed, jump into your wetsuit and get your equipment. After a short briefing on the safety rules and an overview of the program for the next days, you'll be good to go and your adventure can start!
