What to expect
Your first day unfolds in the pool, where you'll master fundamental underwater skills—breathing, equalisation, buoyancy control—with your instructor watching closely. Expect hands-on repetition and plenty of questions answered. Day two shifts to the ocean. You'll apply what you've learned at one of Gran Canaria's scenic beaches, experiencing real reef or sandy bottom diving under close supervision. The course is designed to build confidence gradually; you're not rushed.
Good to know
Avoid flying within 18 hours of diving due to decompression risk. Complete the health questionnaire beforehand; certain conditions (asthma, heart issues) may disqualify you—check with your doctor. Food and drinks are not provided. Public transport is nearby if hotel pickup doesn't apply to your accommodation.
