I really enjoyed every aspect of my time at the academy becoming a Divemaster. The course, the instructors, the location/dive site and the people I met whilst I was here were all amazing. Pete and Alice are really easy to get on with and they were happy to give advice and tips on anything. There is a lot to learn but a lot of time for socializing and having fun as well. You definitely get out what you put in. There are also a great choice of optional specialties you can take during the internship. Courses overlap so you learn from other people on the internship and knowledge and skills are passed on from group to group. It's a perfect opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. Abades reef is a beautiful location for diving. There's a large variety of sea life and there's something to see all year round. Some of the specialties take you to other stunning dive sites around Tenerife as well (swimming with turtle on the Boat Diver Specialty was my favourite). Overall, a great internship and a great experience and would recommend it to anyone. One of the best experiences of my life and I have already booked to come back next year to do the PADI Instructor Course.

An incredible experience that has changed my life. They helped me a lot to achieve my goals and to become more confident. They have been the best three months of my life. Now I am looking forward to come back to finish my IDC and turn diving into my profession and my life. Thank you so much for the support and the trust, for everything. I will never forget where I started and became a PADI Pro.

If you are serious about becoming a divemaster then this is the place to go. If what you had in mind is a handy little holiday with a little diving and then get handed your divemaster qualification at the end then bad news...you will work for it. As an intern certain things are expected of you but in return the guys will give you top level training and you will finish the course feeling very confident & competent and at a much reduced cost than you will get elsewhere. It's simple, if you want great training at a great price and you are prepared to work for it then go here.

To anyone considering scuba diving in Tenerife, I would highly recommend doing it here. Dive Master are friendly, professional and ensured all divers enjoyed their experience.

Came here to do my divemaster from advanced, had a great time. Pete and Alice new what they were talking about and gave me honest feedback on what I needed to improve on or change when I was in the water. I have come away with the qualifications I wanted and the experience and confidence that I needed. I am hoping to go back and do the instructor course with them ASAP.

What an awesome experience. These guys make you feel comfortable and part of a team from the moment you arrive. I had the chance to do my divemaster internship anywhere in the world. I chose the right place. I would fully recommend Divemaster academy if you're serious about a career in scuba diving.

It was an awesome experience, i learned a lot in my time here. A very professional training academy for pro divers, i would love to continue my education with these guys!

I am very happy to have spent my IDC at the Divemaster Internship Academy. The school is very well equipped and Pete and Alice are very goal focused, making the learning experience extremely efficient in the most practical way for the future. My wife Sara and me got a position together to go in February to Oman as we are very interested in the Arab culture. So we have exactly what we were looking for. All our colleagues on our both IDCs have actually a job around the world too. Success guaranteed with Pete and Alice!! 🙂 Indeed a 5 star dive academy

I had one of the best experiences of my life at TDA. I met people from all over the world that I have become good friends with. It’s a great place for networking if you want to find a job in the industry. Pete and Alice ( the 2 instructors) were brilliant in helping me train for the skills required for my divemaster certification. The patience from them both really helped me to gain experience and confidence that made me believe I could work full time in the dive industry. I can not thank everyone enough at TDA. The next step is doing the instructor course here aswell. Thank you!!!!

An amazing 6 weeks making new friends and learning new skills as a PADI Divemaster. The staff at TDA are so helpful always willing to help you refine your skills and show you how everything is done properly. With the amazing opportunity to dive in a marine protected area where we often spotted rays. I will hopefully be returning soon

Life changing experience! Super professional academy with great people. I learnt diving with them and it has been great to slowly develop my underwater skills every time I come back. You learn in a very interactive way without even noticing it. I would completely recommend this academy not only the get your basic certificate but also if you want to get into professional diving. Last, but not least, Kim, Pete, Oli and Jess are great advocates not only of the underwater environment but also on the surface.

When I finished my PADI IDC I knew I wanted to continue to train and gain experience. I didn't want to train just anywhere...I wanted solid training from a professional dive organization. I found Tenerife Diving Academy on the internet and sent them an inquiry. The responses I received were informative, polite and timely. I made my decision...I was going to Tenerife! Upon arrival I knew I had made the right decision. The facilities were clean and organized. Staff was friendly and welcoming. By the end of my stay (six weeks) I had gained experience through instructing students, honed my skills and made some great friends. I left Tenerife Diving Academy as a confident MSDT ready for any future challenge in the diving industry. To those in search of professional training in a great environment...look no further! Big "thanks" to Pete and staff!

I recently spent 6 weeks completing my Divemaster Internship. I loved every second! Pete and Alice are so dedicated to what they do and offer as much support as they can to help you achieve your goals. If you're looking for a professional dive shop to further your diving career, definitely visit Tenerife Diving Academy!

I completed the Divemaster internship here, and honestly, it was an excellent choice. Fast and informative communication before arriving on what I needed, excellent tuition and I feel like I was transformed into the PADI professional the ocean needs. The location of the centre is perfect (and dive shops around the island travel to Abades to dive, and they have it at its door step). Yes, the shop and internship is run a little OCD in terms of doing everything a specific way, but this is what is needed! they ensure that the pre and post dive procedure is drilled into you to make you a better diver! My BCD is always hung up properly with the bladder drained, dust caps on, clips fastened, equipment stored properly. And I enforce this procedure in my workplace, prolonging the life of the gear and making my job of maintaining it minimised. But in diving, it's giving you the mentality to dot every 'i' and cross every 'T', to pay attention to every small detail, so when you go on that more risky dive, you know that you can trust your gear and have a safe trip to the magical world of the ocean! So yeah, all I can say is these guys know what they are doing, they are making good Divers, listen to them, you will learn a lot! I would recommend this place for the professional training for sure!

I'm just back from doing my Divemaster and the AI, unfortunately I couldn't make the IE for a matter of few days, so I'm coming back in September! It's been amazing, amazing people with high standards.. Thank you!

Divemaster academy, is a great place to learn to dive whether that be as an beginner or a experienced diver. The center is situated in a marine protected area so there is so much life under the sea. When I was there I entered as a Rescue diver, I went there to achieve the qualification as a Divemaster, through all the hard work from Pete, Alice, Dave, Adam and the rest of the interns I achieved the qualification. After the Divemaster qualification I wanted to go for the Instructor, again with all the help with the dive center and the friends that I have made when I was there to achieve that level in the scuba diving world. So i say thank you so much for what you have done. In the dive center everyone is involved, looking after the customers, preparing for dives, working on there qualifications, helping around the center. The atmosphere of the center is great, meaning you enter with a smile on your face and when you leave you gain a bigger smile, friends for life, qualification that you can use or improve and a passion in the sport.

An amazing training centre with excellent standards. Not only do I feel confident as a dive professional but had an amazing time along the way! Fun and professionalism made my stay amazing and something I'll remember forever. New career path and tons of adventure lie ahead. Thanks guys!

Most important: amazing team. I started as a non certified diver, and in six weeks I became a Divemaster. It is rough at the beginning for those who plan the six weeks as a relaxing holiday and an additional training. But if you think of the six weeks as the beginning of your professional career, with an added opportunity to see the island on your days off then you are going to love it. At the end I can say having the deadlines and a slight pressure helped me to do more in such a short period. I personally could do six weeks in the same bay again without getting bored. I have not been trained anywhere else, but I think every single thing PADI came up with, to keep divers safe is followed here. Leaving with these standards in my pocket I feel safe and confident to go on dives with less experienced divers knowing that I have the knowledge and training to deal with emergencies from the most common ones to the unlikely happening ones. After all diving is only dangerous if you go beyond your training and/or you don't follow the standards. I'm pretty sure I'll do my IDC here. Thank you all for the six weeks I had! I'm pretty proud of my results [ ;D ] but you all did something that helped me to get here!

I really loved my divemaster course i started out non certified and spent 8 weeks gaining the knowledge and training i needed to become a divemaster. The course was awesome throughout the whole thing and the staff are great.Spent hours and hours in the water enjoying every minute of it and would love it do it all again everyone and everything was great would reccomend this to everyone. 🙂
