PADI Open Water

For many people, the PADI Open Water Diver course is the best way to learn to scuba dive. It is possible to start the week with no previous experience of scuba diving, and by the end the week you are ready to go diving in open water anywhere in the world, with your world-recognised PADI Open Water Diver certification. But this is not just any PADI Open Water course, as unlike other schools, at this PADI 5 Star Resort all the sea dives take place in the beautiful waters of Gran Canaria's only marine reserve. So you get not only a week of fun taking the course with our expert and highly rated instructors, but you also get four open water dives in one of Spain and Europe's best places to dive.

The problem you are probably struggling with is however a common one – how do you choose where to learn to take your PADI Open Water Course when you don't really know what makes a good dive centre. When you start any activity from scratch there is always a variety of offers and options, but your own lack of knowledge can makes it more difficult to select the best path. Your concern is that if you do not know the best criteria for choosing a PADI dive centre you can easily end up not getting the very best safety information on your Open Water training course.

That's why PADI created its 5 Star category, to recognise dive centres who, like us, have mature, experienced dive educators who can make your course a lot of fun while teaching you all the vital safety elements. As you can see from the comments below, our customers think our Instructors are expert trainers, our service is top class and the diving here in the waters of the marine reserve is fantastic. So have a look at the details of the course below, then select one of the links to contact us so that we can start to arrange your PADI Open Water Diver Course and take the first step into the wonderful world of Scuba Diving.

You start in the pool and learn essential basic skills including breathing underwater, clearing your regulator and mask, buoyancy control, fining techniques and techniques for safe diving. You then build on these basic skills and practice them both in the pool, and then in open water (in the Marine Reserve), all the time under the supervision of one of our qualified and experienced PADI Instructors. All the teaching and support materials are used to ensure that you understand the simple physics behind diving and to give you the confidence and enthusiasm to continue diving after your course, and open up for the many beautiful divings spots around the world. In addition to the prescribed skills we aim to develop your confidence in the water, so that you leave us as a safe, competent and qualified Open Water Diver.
