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

I did my Open Water Diver as well as five additional dives with Scuba Legends. I am just thrilled with the experience! Communication beforehand and during the time always went super well. A lot of time is taken to explain and practice everything. I can only recommend the school as well as the dives!

Unforgettable
I did my Open Water Diver at Scuba Legends Lanzarote and I am absolutely thrilled! 🙌 My instructor Raul was just great – calm, patient and with an incredible amount of experience. You immediately notice that he lives for diving and really wants to teach his students something. The diving school is small and personal, which I totally appreciated. Here you are not simply passed through, but given time to learn everything in peace and feel comfortable. I had 6 great dives, felt safe at all times and had a lot of fun. I can really recommend Scuba Legends to anyone who wants to learn diving or just experience great dives in Lanzarote! 🌊🐠

Genau das ist uns wichtig: Zeit für jeden einzelnen, um sicher und mit Spaß ins Wasser zu gehen. Wir hoffen, dich bald wieder für neue Abenteuer unter Wasser begrüßen zu dürfen! 🌊 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
Operator response
