DIVEMASTER COURSE GRAN CANARIA

 

On our PADI divemaster course we will teach you how to work, survive and prosper in a physically and mentally demanding environment, giving you all the tools that you will need to overcome the day to day stresses and strains, that come from long hours of work looking after customers needs, both underwater and on the surface.

At Fun Dive Canaries, we believe our role in your path along the PADI road, is to help you learn the best way to do things at the very beginning. Teaching you from long experience, correcting and encouraging in a respectful manner, not with an, ‘I’m better than you’ attitude. We let your own personality and determination shine though, giving you hints and tips to aid you in the process of getting to where you want to go. We will also guide you

through the long hours of book work, learning PADI standards and the theory of diving, from Boyle's law to Henry’s law. But if you don’t give 100% it will be a long windy road that you travel to realise your dream.
