Spanish & Scuba Diving
Tenerife, Spain
Tenerife, a Spanish island, is the largest of the seven Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. Tenerife is the most populated in the archipelago. The capital city, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is as well as the second biggest city in the archipielago, the capital of the island and seat of the island government (cabildo insular).
Puerto de la Cruz is the second largest tourist city on the island with accommodtion for around 30,000 tourists. In contrast with the modern resorts of the south, El Puerto has had a great tradition as a place of relaxation since the end of the last century when the spa, which today is the Hotel Casino Tauro, was built. The accommodation offered in Puerto de la Cruz is also different from most of the other places in the islands since hotels predominate over apartments.
Combine your intensive Spanish course with scuba diving lessons! The diving course itself consists of 2 weeks of half-day lessons, at either Beginner or Advanced level.
The beginner scuba diving course is for students with no prior diving experience. This course will prepare you for the PADI open water diver certificate. Under the supervision of a professional PADI instructor you will learn all the basic skills and theory needed for diving, during the first immersions in the swimming pool and open water you will start to enjoy diving more and more.
The advanced diving program is for students who are already certified Open Water Divers (PADI). Having completed all the theory beforehand, this program includes more immersion time than the beginners’ course and prepares you for obtaining the Advanced Open Water Diver certificate.
Participants: Mostly Germans and Scandianvians. Average ages 25-35.
Other: You should not take this course if you suffer from: heart trouble, asthma, chronic lung obstruction or other pulmonary problems, diabetes or hearing difficulties.
