PADI Open Water Course La Palma, Quick Facts
Get Your PADI In La Palma, Four Students, One Instructor
The PADI Open Water Diver course on the island with the clearest water in the Canaries, taught by an instructor development centre in Los Cancajos. That means the people teaching you also train the people who teach diving, and they never take more than four students per instructor. Do the theory online at home, then spend [DAYS] days in the water: skills sessions, four open water dives to 18 metres, and a certificate that is valid worldwide for life. No experience needed, you just need to swim.
Reserve with a small deposit, fast confirmation, and a local team on WhatsApp in English, Spanish, German and Dutch. Best Price Guarantee. Club Canary is the booking agent, a licensed PADI dive centre in Los Cancajos runs the course. Rated 4.8/5 from 1.400+ recensioni verificate.
[PRICE]€ per person for the full course with all equipment, eLearning and certification. You book with a small deposit and pay the rest at the dive centre.
Warm water, twenty metre visibility, and an island quiet enough to actually learn in.
Learn To Dive In La Palma, Properly
Most people get their licence on a holiday because the water at home is cold and green. La Palma is the opposite: a young volcanic island with no sand to cloud the sea, so visibility is often twenty metres or more, and the east coast at Los Cancajos is sheltered and calm. The dive centre is a PADI instructor development centre, the level above a normal dive school, and it keeps the groups at four students per instructor. Many schools take eight. The difference shows on your first skills session.
- Theory online at home, your days here are all in the water.
- Maximum 4 students per instructor, 2 for children.
- Confined water skills, then 4 real open water dives to 18 metres.
- All equipment included for the whole course.
- Official PADI Open Water Diver certification, valid worldwide for life.
How The Course Works
The theory, online, in your language, about 8 to 12 hours at your own pace. Finish it at home and arrive with the knowledge review done.
Breathing, mask clearing, buoyancy, what to do if something goes wrong. Shallow, patient, until it feels normal. Then your first open water dive.
Three more open water dives on the reef, gradually down to 18 metres, with the skills repeated in real conditions. Final check, and you are a certified diver.
Who This Course Is For
First-time divers from 10 years who can swim and are medically fit. Couples who want to dive together on future holidays. Families, with the children in their own group of two per instructor. And people staying on La Palma for a week or more, because the course needs [DAYS] days plus the no-fly window, so it is not for a cruise stop. On a port day, the Prova a fare un tuffo is the right one.

Dove si svolge il corso
Your course runs from the dive centre in Los Cancajos, the small resort on the east coast of La Palma, ten minutes from Santa Cruz and the airport. The entry points are from the shore, the reef starts close in, and the water is warm enough for a wetsuit all year. Between dives, the beach is right there. Stay a few extra days: the private stargazing night at Roque de los Muchachos is the perfect last evening once the no-fly window is done, and the rest of the island is on our La Palma experiences page e La Palma map.

- No hotel pickup. Walkable from the Los Cancajos hotels, ten minutes by taxi from Santa Cruz, free parking for rental cars.

Politica di prenotazione e cancellazione dei corsi
Deposit e pagamento
- You pay a small deposit with Club Canary to reserve your place and your instructor.
- The balance is paid at the dive centre before the course starts, cash or card.
Cancellazione
- Cancellazione gratuita fino a 48 ore before your start time, or 72 ore for groups of 5 or more, by emailing office@clubcanary.com. Il vostro deposito verrà restituito integralmente.
- Da 24 a 48 ore before: you lose your full deposit. No exceptions.
- Da 12 a 24 ore before: you lose your deposit and pay 60% of the remaining balance. Vi invieremo un link di pagamento.
- Meno di 12 ore before, a no-show, or arriving too late: you lose your deposit and pay the full remaining balance (100%). Vi invieremo un link di pagamento.
- PADI eLearning already activated is not refundable. Once the course has started, no refunds are possible; if you stop early, the instructor can issue a referral so you finish the open water dives elsewhere.
L'unica eccezione
- A real doctor or hospital paper that says you cannot take part, dated before the activity or the same morning. It covers the person named on it, not the whole group. Feeling unwell without it is not enough for a refund. We know this is strict, and it is the only way we can protect against last-minute cancellations.
Weather & Sea
- Sea conditions may move a dive to another day or another site. The instructor decides, and the dive centre and Club Canary coordinate the new plan with you. If the course cannot be completed because of the sea, you get a referral for the remaining dives.
Medical & Conduct
- You must be medically fit to dive per the PADI Medical Statement. If a doctor's signature is needed and not provided, the course cannot start and the deposit is not refunded. Check with us before you book if you are unsure.
- Students who ignore safety instructions may be refused continuation without a refund.
Reclami, solo nel giorno stesso
- Qualsiasi problema deve essere segnalato a personale subacqueo del giorno. Club Canary is not on site and cannot process complaints or refunds after the course.

Il commento finale di Club Canary
Parola schietta dal vostro team locale delle Isole Canarie
If you are going to get your diving licence, get it somewhere with clear water, warm days and an instructor who is not splitting attention between eight students. La Palma ticks all three. The water is the clearest in the Canaries, the groups are four at most, and the centre teaching you also trains the instructors. That is as good as a beginner course gets.
Do the theory at home, arrive with it done, and your days here are all in the water. Four open water dives on a reef that drops into the blue, a certificate that works anywhere in the world, and an island that is quiet enough to actually rest in between. Book it for the start of your stay, because of the no-fly rule, and leave the last evening for the stars.
Learn to dive in La Palma, with four people and one instructor. Then come back for the Advanced.
