Open Water Course

I have worked in this divecenter for 6 Months (4 as internship, 2 worked as a divemaster) and what i saw during this time absolutly disqualifys the dive center to be called "professional" or anything close to that. The most dangerous point is the constant ignorance of safety standarts when it comes to maximum depths. Taking (fresh) openwater divers to deep dives and beyond their level is on the daily base. I have seen even a 11 year old junior openwater (12m max) in 26 meters. If you dive with this center you propably won't even know how deep you are, because often they dont give you a computer to your rental or even a briefing before the dive. The customers are mostly happy with the nice views they get, but it can be very dangerous to go beyond your limits without the right training and some experience. And it gets worse if you'r using equipment, where the inflator button gets stuck or the whole inflator just rips of the Jacket. To be fair some of those Inflators got changed after some time. If you take openwater courses here you also won't get to do all the required skills, because the instructor thinks that skills like a emergency ascent are not important. Another big problem is the time management. A lot of times i had to wait for hours, especialy with try dives, until another groupe comes back from their second dive with the instructor who doesn't care about others waiting. So there is a good chance you will get half a day of standing around for 30-45 min in the water. Besides the fun dives and courses you can do at this dive center, i also wouldn't recommend to do a divemaster or assistant instructor internship. You will get very few individual classes and often just sit in a course with normal paying customers. You will always have to wash the equipments, which is totaly normal and fine, but the main instructor pees into his suite during every dive he is doing, knowingly that you are the one who has to wash it. This describes how much you are being valued by him. In the end you just learn some basics and work until the instructor says that you are a divemaster now. In my divemaster internship i didn't do a skill circuite, no swimming or stress test, there was not even a final observation while i was guiding or anything like a final exam, eventhough the instructor told us there would be something like that. After the two months that i worked in the dive center the instructor kicked me out without any real legitimate reason, eventhough he told me he wanted me to work in the center for the whole year and even offered me financial support for my instructor course, two weeks befor he kicked me out. Until today they still owe me a big amount of money for the time i worked for them and i know, i am not the only one they did this to. So summing all of this up. Don't dive with this center if safety and professionalism are important to you.

Big thank you to Tenerife Dive Experience, I got to make my dream come true! Gabi, you made my scuba learning fun and at the same time informative, 3 days flew by with laughter and internalizing new valuable skills!

在我潜水完，本应该立刻下发潜水证和我潜水的照片，但是他们延期了一个星期，我每天都给他们打电话，每天都说今天发，但是一直都没有发送出来。并且他们的社交软件也不会回复，Instagram, WhatsApp, message都不会回复。每次我都需要在西班牙语的朋友打电话才可以，因为我已经回到了自己的国家
