I did my Divemaster Internship in November 2024 and my IDC in March 2025 in this Divecenter, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for it! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Kate and Chris, who run everything, are lovely people and the divesites are super interesting. I would definitely recommend going there for the Internship or the IDC, but also only for a fundive with excellent guides and nice people around!! 🫶🏻

Excellent diving, tuition and support provided by the whole team at Bluewater Diving. The facilities, staff and entire experience was amazing. Such a great variety of dive sites including multiple wrecks, reefs and drift sites. Can’t wait to go again.
Such a welcoming dive shop! I felt right at home and got such great experience. Loved every minute, especially with the instructor Eileen :) I can’t wait until I come back again!
i have been 4 weeks doing my inter dive master. It was a amazing experience, every day diving with incredible peolple. I got much more confidence of myself in a water, met people all over the world! i suggest to everybody to do this adventure!
Divemaster experience not recommended, unless you want to learn the hard way. Expectation from planning says you will be doing 2 dives per day but in the end you will be expected to join 4 dives a day (from 9-14h). You will be expected (together with the other “interns”) to wash absolutely all gear from the customers of the day, i.e, if there are 15 customers that day is the amount you need to wash, moore/unmoore the boat, prepare the equipment of the customers and gear them up. That is… you will be expected to study as you were working full time there. The rescue and EFR courses may happen in any time of the course, not necessarily in the beginning. You will be fully working while you learn and pay 1300€ per month. The accomodation provided is a bed in a shared room of 8-10 people.
I had one of the best months of my life interning here at Blue Water Diving. The whole experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Being someone who has never dived before, Kate, Chris and the team took me all the way to Divemaster position. The course is the most fun you could ever possibly have and truly have made friends for life. I will be back soon enough to complete my IDC! A special shout out to Kate and the girls, the most wonderful family you could wish to meet and i can't wait to get back on the island!
Very efficient way to do the dive master training. Nice combination of working with customers, doing the work behind the scenes and doing a lot of diving!
Fell in love with the life style there. Great location in Puerto Rico. Dive sites are great. The team showed me everything I needed make my dreams come true!
I did my open water course with blue water diving in August and I have returned now to complete my advanced open water, rescue, and further courses. The team are lovely, the instructors are clear and really welcoming. I have followed them from Malaga, Spain to Gran Canaria and wouldn’t go to any other dive center
I've just had one of the best months of my life becoming a divemaster through a month long internship. The standard of training is top level, really excellent instructor team and great atmosphere. Couldn't have felt more supported and have come out the process a totally different diver. Cannot recommend this dive centre enough!
Did my rescue diving course here and was definitely not disappointed! The entire crew is so nice and easy to chat with about anything from diving to whatever! Had Chris as my instructor and he did an amazing job teaching me the stuff required in a professional and friendly manner! Not the last time I’m diving with Blue Water Diving 🙌🏻
I just finished a full Rescue diver + EFR + Divemaster internship in a month, and I could not have asked for a better training ! First, communicating and sorting out logistics with Kate was always easy and clear. She really cares about customers and interns, is always understanding, and will figure out a solution for almost everything. Then the quality of the training itself : Chris not only gave me an excellent and thorough Divemaster training, he went well beyond that, and taught me many professional aspects of diving that I'd probably never have had elsewhere. The rest of the team is equally amazing, I had a great time with the other instructors and Divemasters ! Finally, the center has impeccable equipment and very high standards of maintenance and safety. The diving spots are all different and adapted to all levels of skills, from absolute beginner to professional or tec diving.
We’ve been diving with Chris & Kate for a couple of years. Each time it has been a great experience and we keep coming back to them every time we are on vacation on Gran Canaria. What we appreciate particularly is the team’s attention to safety and personal/individual approach to every client. This time we did Rescue Diving and Peak Performance Buoyancy courses. Both very enjoyable. Particularly the latter, which was simply fantastic and improved our technique considerably. Highly recommended!
We got to know this diving school 2 years ago through a boat dive and now that we were in the neighborhood, made an appointment for our rescuediver training right here. Very good diving school with good instructors! Material fine and everything around it is well arranged. Kate and chris are very friendly and our instructor Gery very clear and good at teaching. We will definitely be back here! Gery, Kate, Chris,Jason, Roy and the rest, thank you for a wunderful time and hope to see you already in September 👌
