If you're looking to become a certified diver but don't have time for a full Open Water course, the PADI Scuba Diver programme is an excellent alternative. Over one to two days, you'll learn the essential skills needed to dive safely and gain a recognised certification that allows you to explore the underwater world with professional supervision.
Before arriving, you'll receive access to PADI eLearning materials, allowing you to complete the theory section at your own pace. This online training introduces the principles of scuba diving, safety procedures and the knowledge required for your practical sessions.
Once at the dive centre, you'll begin your in-water training with a confined water lesson where you'll learn and practise the fundamental scuba skills needed to dive safely. Working closely with your instructor, you'll become familiar with the equipment and gain confidence underwater before progressing to the open ocean.
The course includes two ocean dives in Tenerife's clear Atlantic waters. During these dives, you'll apply the skills learned during training while exploring volcanic underwater landscapes and observing local marine life. Your instructor will guide you throughout the experience, helping you build confidence while enjoying your first certified diving adventures.
Upon successful completion, you'll receive your PADI Scuba Diver certification. This qualification allows you to dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres when accompanied by a certified professional, opening the door to future diving experiences around the world.
