Fabulous open water diving course - We completed the open water diving course with Adri, Elva & Tanya. We were a family of 5. 3 kids aged 21, 20 & 17. All the instructors were very patient, friendly & extremely knowledgeable. They made our 3 day course worth every penny. We booked 2 additional dives at the end of the week and again fantastic. We were blessed to see so many amazing fish, a huge stingray and an endangered angel shark. Can not recommend Chantel & her team highly enough.

Top address for OWD 🤿 - The preliminary information presented on the homepage already put us in a positive mood. Contacting them by email was super easy and even in German. We were given an individual offer within a very short time, and Scuba Legends was very accommodating.
We decided on a private OWD course. We would do the same again at any time. While many diving schools in Switzerland start in the pool of a swimming pool, here you go into the water directly at Playa Chica. That takes a bit of getting used to and seems a bit rougher than starting in a protected, covered pool that is independent of currents. But it's not that bad, the motivated and professional diving instructors support you and are always there when you need them. Our instructors all spoke English, which was no problem for us.
We felt safe at all times and were infected by our instructors' enthusiasm for diving. The equipment provided was technically flawless and of high quality. We felt so safe all round.
After getting our certification, we did a double dive with a divemaster so we could put what we had learned into practice. That was also very worthwhile. We were picked up from the hotel at no extra charge and drove to Playa Chica with our divemaster.
We were very lucky that our excellent instructor G.D., who had already accompanied us on the OWD, was our divemaster for the double dive. We felt very comfortable with him, which was very important to us, especially on the first dives. It was an incredible experience and we recommend that everyone do the accompanied double dive in the underwater museum with them after a diving course with Scuba Legends. We are still thrilled! An unforgettable experience and truly indescribably impressive.
The entire Scuba Legends team was always highly motivated, friendly, helpful and professional. The administration also responded very quickly to inquiries and problems. We can fully recommend Scuba Legends for our booked services OWD (private lessons) and double dive underwater museum.

Great diving, great instructors. - I booked my two teenage daughters in to do their PADI Open Water course with Scuba Legends, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Communication before the course was excellent, and the patience and professionalism of Adrian, Chantal and Grace on the course was fantastic, my girls really had great fun learning to dive. I'm a qualified Diver, and was most welcome to join along with the open water dives on the course. The sites used in Playa Chica were great, with plenty of marine life to see, and we enjoyed it so much we all booked another trip.

Advanced Open Water Diver Certification - Some friends recommended me to dive with Scuba Legends and I couldn't have found a better choice. All the booking process and everything was very easy and Chantal was vety helpful with it. During the Advance Open Water Diver Course I couldn't have a better instructor either, Maria was super nice and super friendly, she explained everything very well in the breifings, she helped me a lot to get all the skills, taught me perfectly to master the buoyancy control and made the whole experience that amazing that we also booked one more day of diving.
I'd definitely repeat and recommend them without any doubt.
Thanks for the amazing experience.

Incredibly professional and fun dive centre for all levels. - Fantastic dive centre, incredibly well organised from initial contact to the end of our trip. Adrián completed my 12 year old son's open water course which he thoroughly enjoyed. I also did a couple of great fun dives.
Adrián was very professional, with safety coming first but also super enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate. Chantal organised every part of our experience and was super efficient. If you are thinking of diving In Lanzarote I would highly recommend Scuba Legends.

Knowledgable, patient & friendly, THE best dive instructors in Lanzarote. - Recently completed my Open water & PADI aware courses with scuba legends and the whole process from booking to certification was seamless. Communication beforehand was brilliant giving me all the information I needed. Adri, Maria & Mo we’re nothing short of fantastic, their calm and knowledgeable way of instruction and their patience and skill in the water really made me feel comfortable and in safe hands. I’m already looking at when I can book in my next dive trip with these guys I enjoyed it that much!

Great experience in Lanzarote - We did a discover dive with five family members, one certified diver (who hadn't dived in years), one with little diving experience and three with no diving experience.
Adrian & Mo took us underwater. Afterwards everyone was very enthusiastic about the very professional way in which all participants were treated. A great experience where we also saw seahorses, where do you see that on a first "dive"!
Two of the five were so captivated by the underwater life, enthusiasm of the instructors and very good communication and explanation from the office crew that they then did - PADI open water - and successfully completed it.
Scuba legends Lanzarote (5*) is highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience diving without any experience, but also for certified divers who are doing further training or just want to join a dive.
Scuba legends works with professional and very well maintained equipment.
Chantal, Adrian, Mo and Maria thanks for a great week and if we get the chance we will definitely come back.
(hope you have an orange T-shirt then 😉 😀)

Scuba Legends the measure of all things - Man, man, man, where should I start 😁
When I think back to the time of my OWD, so many things and only positive things go through my head that I don't even know where to start. But more on that in a moment, here is my
rating:
Service 5/5
Passion of the team 5/5
Feel-good factor 5/5
Price-performance ratio 5/5
Quality 5/5
Tip for everyone who books a course:
Finish the e-learning at home so that you can concentrate completely on the practice and the great time with Mo, Maria, Adrian and Chantal on vacation.
We had a lot of fun.
First, let's talk about Mo ;)
He is just such an incredibly great dive instructor. From the very first second, all my fears and thoughts about whether I would be able to do everything were gone. It was such a great experience to have my first diving lessons with Mo. You can just see how passionate he is about this sport and how he wants to infect everyone around him with his passion! Mo, thank you so much for these amazing experiences and your encouraging words when I was a little unsure.
As I wanted to break out of my comfort zone, I was able to spend the last day with Adrian, Maria and my new diving buddy Dan and do the rest of the course in English instead of German.
I can best describe Maria in one word: big sister. I felt so safe at her side, she was so courteous, listened to everything I said with a lot of patience and celebrated every learning success underwater, which just made me absolutely happy.
I also have a few words about Chantal: no matter what concerns I had, she was always incredibly quick to respond, be it via WhatsApp or email. No matter what! This woman is simply a power woman who runs her business with heart and that is reflected in the quality of Scuba Legends!
Now we have someone very special 🤣 my personal hero! Adrian! This man is just amazing! He doesn't just want his students to love the sport, he wants his students to develop their personalities by immersing themselves in another world. This man has given me so much self-confidence and you can just tell that this man should actually have gills and live underwater, that's where he belongs! Adrian, thank you for the great time and the subsequent trip to Playa Blanca. The last photo of us will have a very special place in my home!
But now to the most important employee without whom secretly nothing works ;)
Pepito 🐶 the employee of the month 😂 an absolutely great dog that you just have to love! I could have cuddled with him for hours 😂
I hope I see you again soon and get to experience many more great dives with you! I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart!

Wonderful experience with the whole team! - (Refresh dive + advanced open water course + 10 pack dives)
I did my refresh dive with Mo, who took the time to remind me of everything before going underwater, he was very kind and patient. I dove with him several times during my stay, he will answer any questions you could have.
The next day I did my first nitrox dives with Adri, who took the time to show me how to use an air analyzer, and give me all the important information.
I then did my advanced open water with Adri again, who loves talking and giving long briefings! Everything said was interesting and useful for the training, and we all had a lot of fun (especially during the rescue dive).
The last day I dove alone with Maria, we were very lucky because it was early and there weren't many people in the water, we were surrounded by fishes. She showed me many tiny fishes that I didn't see at first.
You'll be able to spot cuttlefish, octopus, nudibranchs, seahorses, groupers, trumpet fishes, etc... and a lot of schools of fishes.
Just sad it's not the season for angel sharks... :')
I 100% recommand them, it was unforgettable! Thank you very much for the experience guys!!
