Course Description
Timanfaya Sub's PADI Open Water Diver certification offers a comprehensive introduction to diving, focused on building confidence and competence. This course is performance-based, allowing instructors to tailor the learning pace to each student's needs, ensuring comfortable and effective progression. You'll gain the knowledge and skills necessary to explore the underwater world independently, with a certification valid for dives up to 18 meters. The theoretical portion can be completed via PADI's e-learning system or in-person classes at the center, covering essential diving principles and safety procedures.
Practical training includes five confined water sessions and four open water dives conducted at a local beach, with a hands-on approach to mastering core diving skills. These skills range from mask clearing and regulator recovery to buoyancy control and emergency ascents, all practiced in the vibrant aquatic environment. The emphasis is on developing comfort in a controlled setting before transitioning to open water. The complete program typically spans 3 to 4 days, contingent on individual student progress and learning pace.

The "Tourist Class" package is priced at €465, while the "Preferred Class" at €558 includes two post-course dives and a shop discount, enhancing your initial diving experience.
