Details
The PADI Scuba Diver is the perfect introductory course for those who don't have much time but want to learn the basics of diving and go dive into the ocean just after! With this program, you will take your first steps towards autonomy and be later able to dive with a PADI instructor. With Blue Water Diving, come discover the colourful subaquatic life of the Canary Islands: diving has never been so much fun!
Goal of the course
The PADI Scuba Diver is a shorter version of the PADI Open Water Diver course. It will allow you to learn the fundamentals of diving, including diving techniques and the use of your equipment. You will have the possibility to dive up to 12m with a PADI Instructor and if you want to continue your diving journey, you can just complete the Open Water certification with the rest of the courses, no need to do it all over again!
