Try Diving La Palma, Quick Facts
Try Scuba Diving In La Palma, Your First Dive, No Licence
Always wanted to try diving? This is the easy way in, on the island with the clearest water in the Canaries. A PADI Discover Scuba dive from the shore at Los Cancajos, with a certified instructor beside you every second and never more than four beginners per instructor. No licence, no course, no experience. You learn to breathe in shallow water first, then the instructor takes you along the reef. All gear and insurance are included, and the centre is ten minutes by taxi from the cruise port.
The people who teach you here also train dive instructors. That is the standard you get on your first dive.
Vaše prvé ponorenie, bez predchádzajúcich skúseností
You do not need a course, a licence or a week of theory. You show up at the dive centre in Los Cancajos, get a clear briefing, put on the gear, and walk into the sea with your instructor. The first minutes are in shallow water, learning to breathe and clear your mask. When you are calm, the instructor leads you along the reef. The whole dive is guided hand to hand, so your only job is to breathe, relax and look.
Why La Palma Is A Good Place To Start
The island is young and steep, with almost no sand to cloud the water, so the visibility is often twenty metres or more. The east coast at Los Cancajos is sheltered from the trade wind swell, the entry is from the shore, and the reef starts close in. No boat, no seasickness, no long ride. And the groups are tiny: four adults per instructor at most, two children per instructor. Many centres take eight.
🐙 What You May See
Schools of Atlantic fish on the rock, parrotfish, trumpetfish and damselfish, an octopus if you are lucky, rays on the sand sometimes, and the blue drop-off that makes La Palma diving famous. This is the Atlantic, not the Red Sea: no coral gardens, no guaranteed turtles, but clear, calm and quiet.
🏊 Musím vedieť dobre plávať?
No. You wear a buoyancy jacket that floats you, and the instructor stays beside you and handles the equipment. You should be príjemný pocit s ponáraním tváre do vody and reasonably at ease in the sea. If you feel very anxious in water, tell us first; the guided snorkel may suit you better.

The instructor leads you along the reef, shallow, hand to hand. Fish, rock, the drop-off, and the feeling of breathing underwater. That is the whole point.

Back At The Centre
Rinse, change, and if you want it, ask about a second dive the same day or the Open Water course. Most people are already asking.
Arriving By Cruise Ship?
A try dive fits a port day. Ships dock in Santa Cruz de La Palma, the dive centre is about ten minutes away by taxi, and a morning dive leaves the afternoon for the old town. Send us your ship's arrival and departure times when you book and we confirm a start time that works, or tell you honestly if it does not. One rule: no flying for 12 hours after, which is never a problem on a ship.

Úprimný Názor Club Canary
Skutočný rozhovor od vášho miestneho tímu z Kanárskych ostrovov
If you have always wanted to breathe underwater and never got round to it, La Palma is a very good place to start. The water is clear, the entry is from the shore so there is no boat to feel sick on, and the people teaching you train dive instructors for a living. That last part matters more than any photo on this page.
We keep it honest: this is a beginner dive, shallow, with an instructor holding you the whole way. You will see fish and rock and, with luck, an octopus. You will not be chasing turtles. What you will have is the memory of your first breath underwater, and most people say it is the one they talk about at dinner. For cruise guests, it fits a port day with time to spare.
Your first dive, in clear water, with a small group. If you are going to try it once, try it here.
