The PADI Scuba Diver course at Mojo Dive runs over two mornings (08:20–13:30) and is designed to fit around a holiday in Lanzarote without eating the whole week. It produces a certification valid worldwide that lets you dive autonomously with a qualified guide down to 12 metres — a practical licence for someone who wants to keep diving in other places without committing to the full Open Water syllabus right now. Four open water dives take place in the sea, not a pool. The first two focus on confined-water exercises in shallow water (maximum 6 metres), covering the fundamentals any self-sufficient diver needs: buoyancy, equipment management, buddy system, underwater communication and problem management. Dives three and four move into open water, mixing skills practice with actual guided diving around Lanzarote dive sites. Duration per dive is 45–55 minutes. Theory covers three lessons from the Open Water Diver manual — marine environment, autonomous diving equipment and buddy procedures, dive table and computer use, communication, and problem management. There's no final written exam, just knowledge reviews at the end of each lesson. The course supports PADI eLearning, so the theory can be completed at home before arrival; Mojo Dive estimates 4–6 hours of self-study. That frees up more time in Lanzarote for diving rather than classroom work. The medical certificate required for the course must be signed by a hyperbaric medicine specialist confirming fitness for recreational diving. Mojo Dive has an associated clinic in Lanzarote where this can be arranged on-site if needed. If time allows after completing the course, the Scuba Diver certification converts directly into a full PADI Open Water Diver in one and a half additional days for €169 extra — useful to know if the schedule opens up unexpectedly during the trip.
Bautismo de Buceo
The baptism dive at Mojo Dive is done almost exclusively at Playa Chica, a sheltered bay in Puerto del Carmen that blocks both swell and current — the kind of conditions that make a first dive feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Groups never exceed three people per instructor, and the descent is gradual, stopping at whatever depth feels comfortable. Maximum depth is 12 metres for adults; children aged 8–10 are kept at 2 metres and get a dedicated instructor to themselves. Three options structure the experience. The single-dive option runs about three hours in total with roughly 45 minutes underwater. Two dives extend to a five-hour day with a 45-minute surface interval between them. The third option adds a dive at the Museo Atlántico — the underwater sculpture museum — which requires a short boat crossing and includes the entry fee and transport in the €189 price. Every baptism includes a full equipment kit, dive insurance, a snack and drink between dives, and a digital photo album. The instructor carries a camera throughout, so you leave with photos regardless of whether you bring your own gear. If you do bring a camera, the instructor signals when it's appropriate to use it. The fauna at Playa Chica on a typical morning session: black and white damsels, salemas, sea bass, parrotfish, lizardfish, and among the more reliably spotted residents — cuttlefish, starfish, spider crabs, sea horses, nudibranchs, octopus, flabellinas and anemones. No guarantee on any specific sighting, but the bay holds enough life that a blank session would be unusual. Before entering the water, there's a brief theory session on shore and a standard PADI medical questionnaire. No previous experience is needed. The one logistical note worth knowing: flying after diving requires a 12–24 hour gap depending on depth, so plan the dive accordingly if you're catching a flight the same day.
Deep Diver
The EFR (Emergency First Response) course at Mojo Dive runs in 6–8 hours and is open to anyone — no prior diving certification required. It's often done back-to-back with the PADI Rescue Diver course, which is the natural sequence for certified divers working towards a more complete safety skill set. The content focuses on real emergency response: CPR including defibrillator use, spinal injury management, critical bleeding, oxygen administration, and child-specific resuscitation techniques. Everything is taught through step-by-step progressions rather than memorisation-heavy theory, and the PADI instructors at Mojo Dive supervise practice throughout. Certification is valid for 24 months and covers the full range of primary and secondary care responses. The practical value for divers is direct — it's the prerequisite for the PADI Rescue Diver course, and the skills themselves are useful far beyond the water. The course includes the EFR theory workbook, the certification fee and the physical certification card. No specific fitness requirements and no minimum age — it's one of the few courses Mojo Dive offers where the only barrier is the willingness to learn.
Wreck Diver
Lanzarote has wrecks, and this two-day specialty puts you inside them — or at least as far inside as safety and conditions allow. The PADI Wreck Diver course runs four open water dives over two days (approximately 08:20–13:30 each morning) plus a single theory session with no written exam at the end. The practical sessions at Mojo Dive cover wreck assessment from the outside, maintaining buoyancy against the irregular surfaces that wrecks create, line placement and recovery, establishing penetration limits, and actual overhead environment diving where conditions permit. These are skills you won't develop on a standard guided dive — the course specifically builds the judgement needed to approach wrecks without defaulting to the instructor for every decision. Theory covers how to evaluate a wreck, navigation techniques inside and around it, penetration hazards (entanglement, silt-out, disorientation), appropriate diving techniques for confined spaces, dive planning, and emergency procedures. All delivered in one session without the pressure of a formal exam. The course includes full equipment rental, all didactic materials, the PADI Wreck Diver certification fee and card, plus snacks and drinks during breaks. Minimum age is 15, and you need a PADI Advanced Open Water (or equivalent) before starting. A hyperbaric medical certificate is also required — Mojo Dive's associated clinic in Lanzarote can provide this locally if needed. Completion opens the door to further specialties, the Rescue Diver course, or Divemaster training if that's the direction you're heading.

What people ask before booking
The baptism dive is open from age 8, though 8–10 year olds are limited to 2 metres depth and require their own dedicated instructor. Courses start at age 10 (PADI Scuba Diver) or 15 (Wreck specialty). The EFR first aid course has no minimum age restriction.
Groups are small — maximum 3 people per instructor — so for a specific date, booking at least two weeks ahead is recommended, especially in high season.
Yes. Mojo Dive offers both, and the choice is yours. The underwater exercises are 95% identical; the main differences are that SSI digital materials are slightly more advanced and PADI tends to cost a little more. Both certifications are valid worldwide and are fully cross-creditable.
Yes — Mojo Dive has a BAUER compressor certified for both air and nitrox, and holds the official BAUER Pure Air certificate (the only centre in the Canaries to do so). Nitrox fills cost €6 for a 12L cylinder or €7 for a 15L.
Rental includes integrated-weight BCD, mask, fins, wetsuit, booties, regulator and accessories for colder water — all at no extra cost beyond the base rental fee. Aqualung and Apeks gear throughout. Computer rental is €5/day and torch rental €5/day as optional extras.
Between 12 and 24 hours, depending on the depth of your dives. The exact no-fly window is confirmed at the time of booking based on your dive profile.
Yes. Every baptism dive includes a digital photo album at no extra charge — the instructor always carries a camera. You can also bring your own camera; your instructor will tell you when it's safe to use it.
Mojo Dive runs regular trips to Playa Blanca (boat transfer €25, or €33 for a double boat day) and to the La Graciosa marine reserve (€65 extra, including ferry tickets and reserve fees). La Graciosa departures start at 7:15 with an open return in the afternoon.
