    PADI open water course

    Had an amazing time doing the PADI open water course with Giovanni and Chantal. I had never dived before and Giovanni was so reassuring on my first day and explained everything really in-depth. Everyone on the team was really lovely and made the whole experience amazing. I booked a group session but got one-on-one instead for free which was also great. Communication before the course was also very good and they responded to all my queries super quick. Would recommend

    Response from the operator: Hi Jessica, congrats again for becoming a PADI Open Water Diver :) Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're delighted to hear that your very first dives were such a positive experience. Learning to dive is a big step, and it's great to know that Giovanni's calm approach and detailed explanations helped you feel comfortable and confident from the start. We'll also make sure to share your lovely feedback with the rest of the team. Sometimes our small groups even turn into private training sessions, and we're glad you could enjoy that extra benefit. It's also great to hear that our communication before the course made everything easy for you. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back soon for your next underwater adventure! Scuba Legends Dive Center Lanzarote

    5-star experience with Scuba Legends!

    I took the Advanced Open Water and Nitrox courses with them, and the experience was more than positive. First of all, the instructor Raúl is a genius; I learned a lot from him; he's very friendly and a great professional. And secondly, Lanzarote seabed is amazing, tons of underwater life (angel sharks, groupers, spiny butterfly rays, eagle rays, trumpet fish, seahorses, cuttlefish, etc.) and also wrecks—impressive! A 10/10 experience! Thank you. Paco

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words, Paco! It was a real pleasure having you with us for your Advanced Open Water and Nitrox courses. We're really glad to hear you had such a great experience and enjoyed the dives around Lanzarote – the underwater life here truly is something special. Raúl will be happy to hear your feedback! He puts a lot of passion into what he does, and it's great to know it made a difference in your training. We hope to see you back in the water with us again sometime soon – there’s always more to discover. Until then, happy diving! Regards from the team Scuba Legends Dive Center Lanzarote

    Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lanzarote.

    How much does Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote cost?

    +

    Prices start at $535 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lanzarote usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lanzarote is not rushed.

    Is Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lanzarote, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lanzarote can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lanzarote and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lanzarote within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lanzarote?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lanzarote experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guapatinis Show Bar Experience, Tour to Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and viewpoint from the cliff, MHT Lanzarote - Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience - No1. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lanzarote?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lanzarote?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote?

    +

    Included: Guaranteed Small groups; Certified & experienced PADI Dive Instructor; Dive Equipment; Refreshments & a small snack; and DAN Dive Insurance. Not included: Towels & swimming wear; Gratuities; and PADI eLearning Access at a discounted price of 100€ through us (original price through PAD. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote?

    +

    The activity itself will be hold at Playa Chica in Puerto del Carmen. If u do not require a transfer, we meet you directly at the dive/snorkel site in Playa Chica, Puerto del Carmen. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Open Water Diver Course in Lanzarote wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
