Program
The SSI Open Water course consists of three areas:
- Theory or knowledge development. This is the least exciting part, but equally necessary. To make it more bearable and adjust it to your needs for time, travel, etc. We can facilitate the theory before you arrive to read it on your own (book or digital format on your mobile, tablet or computer) before reviewing and explaining with your instructor.
- We offer SSI eLearning (online courses) at the same price as those that include on-site theory class.
- Practice in the swimming pool, to practice all the exercises in a controlled environment to aboid any unforeseen. You will learn to feel safe underwater and comfortable with the equipment.
- We have 4 swimming pools with sea views, perfect for training. They are saltwater to mimic the buoyancy conditions of the ocean.
- Sea practice and dives. Once you feel comfortable in the water (that’s why previous practice in the pool and not going to the sea directly is so necessary) we will review the exercises in the ocean, in addition to starting with the fun dives (a normal dive as a certified diver). Be careful you can fall in love with the underwater world!

Jose Mª Munilla Prades2024-03-26Como siempre una experiencia maravillosa bucear con vosotros. Experiencia y profesionalidad a raudales!! Gracias a Hervé, Claudia, Bruna y David por hacer que esas 9 inmersiones hayan sido geniales! Espero veros pronto!
Alba M.V2024-02-14Todo de 10 con ellos. Increíble, gracias
Kuka Ver2024-02-13Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Celso ha sido un instructor estupendo y Claudia ha estado muy pendiente todo el rato de nosotros, principalmente de mi que era mi primera vez. Es un bautismo muy completo y a diferencia de otros es un acierto que la formación la hagan en piscina ya que te ayuda más a la hora de aprender a manejar la respiración bajo el agua. La experiencia dentro del mar fue fantástica y tanto Celso como Claudia hicieron que fuera inolvidable. 100% recomendable tanto la experiencia como el centro de elegido.
Asier Hernando2024-02-06He realizado con ellos el curso de Advanced y ha sido un placer!! La monitora Claudia super profesional en todo momento. Muy divertido el ambiente, volveré la próxima vez :)
Anthony Folmer2024-01-30Nous avons plongé avec mon fils en novembre 2023... Impecable, club très humain, Claudia s est occupé de mon fils ( plongeur or) pendant que je plonge plus profondément avec Hervé. Des spots de plongée magnifique..
Martin Kersten2023-12-27We’ve had an amazing experience at Dawn Dives together with Pepe. We did the 2-day-Scuba Diver course and it was great fun. Pepe took care of us a lot and made sure at all times that we’re save and happy. We highly recommend this place!
Michel Vento2023-11-29Encore un grand merci pour l'équipe j'ai fait de très belles plongée et j'ai rencontré de très belles personnes je recommande ce club car il est super encore merci Hervé à la prochaine
Károly Timár2023-11-26Top family oriented DC on the island. Both PADI/SSI courses available from dive veterans. Probably the best place for internship as well. Worked with them for decades, highly recommended!
Delphine Martiny2023-11-25Je plonge avec Dawn Dives Academy depuis plusieurs années. L’équipe est pro en plus d’être accueillante et sympathique. Les plongées sont diversifiées et les fonds magnifiques. L’île est superbe et le climat toujours clément. Je recommande vivement.
Dávid Haluska2023-11-23Me and my partner were doing the open water diver course with our instructor, Pepe. Lucky for us, we were the only two for the course. Pepe was very kind, helpful and made our experience exceptional.
fred a2024-04-09School project A huge & special thanks to Hervé ?? He's always having a big big smile and took the time to listen to us & give good advices to all of us for enjoying as much as possible our dive in Lanzarote, whatever it was for security or being able to see life underwater, even if it was during the day, by night or with the scooter. All the experiences were just incredible and fantastic. What a pleasure to prepare the different dives with him... and to share the smile and the experiences after we've done it. Herve is a really sweet guy, responsible and still really carefull with a lot of understanding. We came with a group of 12 students leaded by Bruno Montiel, from a french highschool. And we are all very pleased by the magical experience that we shared with Hervé. We did appreciate his diving ability & also his human quality... and that is not the less important for us and the education that we wanted to give to our kids. I will definitely recommand him if you come to Lanzarote for diving. We already did the experience several times in the last 4 or 5 years now.... and we're ready to do it again next year? Thank u so much and can't wait to dive again with Dawn dive academy. Enjoy? Tonton ?
