Divemaster Internship Tenerife - Abades, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Piero Faletto

Primera vez que realizo alguna actividad de este tipo, por lo que no sabía que esperar y estaba dispuesto realmente a todo, y es aún así que cualquier expectativa que pude haber tenido en algun momento fue superada con demasía. Me impresionó el nivel de organización con el que cuenta la academia, todo pensado para y dirigido hacia los estudiantes que se encuentran en ella, de manera que se pueda aprovechar cada dia al máximo, y que se puedan cumplir las metas que a cada uno hicieron elegir esta academia de manera rápida y completamente efectiva. Sinceramente puedo decir que me llevo una experiencia tremenda, tanto a nivel personal como a nivel de buceador, ya que el ambiente, a la par con ser muy profesional y muy completo en cuanto al buceo, es muy agradable y amistoso.

Kann man da den Divemaster machen? Ja
Sollte man ihn da machen? Eher nicht.
Die ganze Schule ist super ineffizient sodass man ständig in Hektik ist.
Die Trainingstachgänge sind zwischen 20-40 Minuten. Maximal 40 wegen der Sicherheit, das man da meistens mit 120bar oder mehr aus dem Wasser geht ist egal.
Ständig wird wegen der Sicherheit gejammert, dass man den ganzen Tag auf einem nassen Fliesenboden läuft der super rutschig ist, ist auch egal.
Der Boss geht nach dem halben Tag seine Mitarbeiterin die alleine ist darf aber nichts entscheiden.
Nein ist das am häufigsten benutzte Wort in der Basis. Insgesamt sind die Leute dort super arrogant.
Zusätzlich ist die Schule was den Plan angeht völlig unflexibel, völlig egal wie das Wetter ist der Plan für den Tag wird umgesetzt.
Außerdem gibt es auch keinen Pool in dem man Übungen machen könnte wenn das Wetter mal schlecht ist.
Padi wird ständig schlecht gemacht obwohl die Schule lange Zeit mit padi zusammen gearbeitet hat. Und der Betreiber schuld ist das es diese nicht mehr gibt. Details dazu hat jemand auf auf Trip advisor veröffentlicht.
Der Spaß und die Lockerheit fehlt hier komplett. Diese Leute nehmen den kompletten Spaß aus dem Tauchen.
Ich bin froh das es vorbei ist. Empfehlen kann ich es nicht. Sucht euch lieber eine gute Tauchschule

I recently completed the Divemaster Internship in Tenerife and it was truly exceptional! The instructor Pete provided the top training, professionalism, and a genuine passion for diving. They created a supportive and fun environment that allowed me to develop my skills. I am grateful for the impact this experience has had on my personal and professional growth. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to be a good Pro !!

I have dived with the Ténérife Diving Academy center and it was a fantastic experience. Pete (the owner of the center) and his team are very professional and kind. They have done their most to answer my requests and enable me to experiment wonderful dives in this little Paradise of Arico on the South East. I recommend the center for recreational dives and also for training and certifications based on their human and professional SSI approach. Special thanks to Patricia, my passionate instructor. I look forward to passing my next certifications with you and ressourcing moments. The Center offers also very good quality vs price ratio.

It’s been long overdue, but I hope that this review reaches other people. I didn’t want this to get in the way of the lawsuit that was going on. The owner is extremely unfriendly and untrustworthy. He yells at his interns for no reason. What was the lawsuit about? We found a hidden camera in the housing that was provided. Reported this to the owner that it was unacceptable, but he didn’t listen. We all felt uncomfortable and left the dive school. Even our instructor quit on the spot when we told him.

Please, if you ever have had a bad experience with him, that is legally not ok, report it to the ECC (european consumer centre) of your EU country. They can help with free legal advise and may help you in putting pressure on the company for money back etc.

Super Taucherfahrung gemacht. Hatte 2 Tauchgänge gebucht und die waren auch echt klasse. Jedem der in Teneriffa mal tauchen gehen möchte, kann ich diese Tauchschule empfehlen. Preis war auch mehr als gut. 99€ für 2 Tauchgänge inkl. Versicherung, Ausrüstung und Luft.

Wasted so much money and time in there. From outside the dive center looks pretty good. It doesn't look so good when you're there for a longer period of time. I've tried to become an instructor. As the owner saw me struggling he offered me a deal, which I was very greatful for as it was an amazing oportunity. I was supposed to come back in few months and work for them as an assistant for 3 weeks, get some pocket money and then do my ITC again. The whole month (as it turned out) I was working for them, the owner, Pete did not have a single conversation with me. Told me nothing about functioning of the dive center, rules or my duties. He expected me to guess what I was supposed to do. Every single thing he didn't like, he would tell the only open water instructor that is working there to tell me. Never face to face. When I asked for a feedback from him, he started yelling and lying to me about the things I've done. Few days after this disturbing conversation he said that the ITC is not gonna happen as there is not enough people. He told me to leave in 2 days. I left the next evening as it was the only available flight that I could take. I wanted to get my money for deposit and job. He said he cannot check me out the day I left so he's going to send me money later when he's checked the house on Friday. I agreed. Next week got an email from him that the house is in unacceptable condition (I left the house as clean as it was the day I arrived). I was not living there by myself so the next day bin was full and kitchen was not that clean. I couldnt do anything about that. He sent me photos of the house and outside then asked for an invoice (I dont have a company). I sent him a private person invoice and he said it's a receipt. He said that the cleaning company charges 575e... For cleaning the dust under the sofa? I shall also add that he is taking from every customer staying at their house, 1e per week to get all house supplies we need (toilet paper, soap etc.). I was asking them for toilet paper for 2 weeks. After this time he finally decided to tell me that as Im working for them and staying at the house I will be buying all neccesary stuff for the house, bring him the receipt and he will give me back the money. After I left it was the guys job to provide those stuff. We all basically lost 6/8e. Not much but he will find every opportunity to get just 1 cent more. He owns me 630e which I will not receive :). Atmosphere was trash, he told me not to be friends with the guys I was staying in the house with as those are not vacations and I should be their role model... What? In his eyes I was supposed to tell them what to do; even in the house. I was working hard and corrected myself after each conversation with the open water instructor that Pete could not manage to have with me. Still wasn't enough. Last days he started ignoring me and acting like he cannot see or hear me. They will also teach you how to carry one tank and when you carry it as they taught you; yell at you as it is not how you're supposed to be doing it. I still gained some experience and now I'm confident with finishing my ITC somewhere else. However, the experience with this dive center and people running it, is something I do not want to experience again. To everyone who's considering going there, please think twice.
