Taking your PADI Advanced Open Water Course in the Canary Islands

Somebody asked me recently if it was worth coming out to the Canary Islands to complete his PADI Advanced Open Water Course or whether he could take this PADI Course in the UK. To me the answers were obvious ... The water in the Canaries is warmer and clearer, so we can offer the course all year round, and here in the Marine Reserve in Arinaga the marine life is prolific and the underwater scenery is very dramatic.


The PADI Advanced Open Water course builds on the skills of the Open Water Course and adds the extra theory required to undertake more challenging dives. After studying hard for the Open Water Course, most students find that the Advanced Open Water course is a lot easier as there is less to read, and during the dives there are in some cases fewer formal exercises to undertake.

All of our students have thoroughly enjoyed taking their PADI Advanced Open Water Course in the El Carón Marine Reserve in Arinaga because they have not only completed the course, but they have always had some good dives with lots to see as well.

So if you are looking for somewhere to take your course which in addition to great logistics and excellent instructors has dramatic underwater scenery and prolific marine life... then the El Cabrón Marine Reserve in Arinaga is the place to come to.
