The PADI Scuba Diver course is a shorter, introductory certification that allows you to dive under the supervision of a PADI professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
The PADI Open Water Diver is the full certification, offering more training, experience, and the ability to dive independently with a buddy to 18 meters.
You can upgrade from Scuba Diver to Open Water Diver at any time by completing the remaining confined water and open water training sessions.
The theory is completed online through PADI eLearning before the course starts. Once we register you, you can study at your own pace.
The eLearning usually takes 6–8 hours (around half that time for the Scuba Diver course).
It covers basic diving principles, safety rules, skill practice, and equipment use.
Courses start at 8:15 at Playa Chica and usually finish between 12:30 and 14:30, depending on course progress and group size.
We normally complete 2–3 dives or training sessions per day.
Training takes place from the shore at Playa Chica, Puerto del Carmen.
In addition to abundant marine life, Playa Chica offers ideal training conditions: a protected bay with shallow water and up to 10 different dive sites, reaching depths of up to 40 meters (beginner courses are limited to 12–18 meters).
The average bottom time for a recreational dive is around 45 minutes, or until reaching the safety reserve of 50 bar.
However, course dives vary depending on the required skill practice, both underwater and on the surface.
Your instructor also conducts briefings before and between dives, explaining all skills, which adds additional time.
Yes. The Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver courses are ideal for complete beginners and require no previous experience.
If you don’t feel comfortable in the sea or are unsure about committing to a certification, we recommend trying a Try Dive first.
If you feel nervous or have had a negative experience before, a private course can be a great option, allowing the instructor to focus entirely on you.
PADI standards allow up to 10 students per instructor.
At Scuba Legends, we limit groups to a maximum of 4 students per instructor in the water to ensure safety and quality.
For even more personalized training, we offer semi-private and private courses.
We understand that personal circumstances can arise. Our instructors adapt the training and repeat skills whenever possible to support each student.
Courses follow strict PADI standards and skills are progressive, so completing each step is required to move forward.
If a student cannot continue or does not meet the requirements despite sufficient practice, the instructor will continue with the rest of the group to keep the course on schedule.
According to our cancellation policy, no refunds or rescheduling are offered in these cases.
However, additional training sessions can be arranged at an extra cost, subject to availability.
You will receive a PADI referral form, valid for 12 months, allowing you to continue your training at any PADI Dive Center worldwide.
Certification is only issued once all course standards and requirements are successfully met.
Payment alone does not guarantee certification — the instructor must confirm that all skills and knowledge have been demonstrated satisfactorily.
We recommend joining guided fun dives to gain confidence and practice your skills.
You can also continue with the Advanced Open Water Diver course to dive up to 30 meters, or enroll in specialty courses such as wreck diving, night diving, deep diving, and mor
Some medical conditions may prevent diving, such as serious heart or lung conditions, uncontrolled epilepsy, recent surgeries, or significant ear problems.
A medical questionnaire is required, and if necessary, medical clearance must be provided before starting the course.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, and comfortable clothing.
All diving equipment is included, so you don’t need to purchase anything in advance.
At Scuba Legends, every dive goes beyond the ordinary. Dive with us and turn your underwater adventure into an unforgettable memory.
