Salt on the air, diesel hum from the launch, and a slate of tanks lined up like a small army—this is a typical morning at a Gran Canaria dive centre during a six‑week Divemaster internship. Participants move between inflatable skiffs and pebbled beaches, sliding into clear, cool Atlantic water that has been shaped by recent volcanic flows and centuries of trade winds.

History

Conservation
Several marine reserves regulate anchoring and fishing—respect briefings, avoid touching reef life, and use reef‑safe sunscreen to limit impact.

Bring a dive computer
Rental gear covers basics but not dive computers—bring your own for consistent decompression tracking and training continuity.
Practice buoyancy before arrival
Good buoyancy control speeds progression through divemaster tasks and reduces air consumption; practice in local pools if possible.
Protect against sun and wind
Mornings start early and boats offer little shade—reef‑safe sunscreen and a windbreaker help between dives.
Log every dive
Maintain a clear, current logbook and backup digital notes; instructors will review your dives for certification milestones.
Personal dive computer
Essential for tracking depth/time and consistent training records (rentals often exclude this).
Mask, snorkel and fins
A well‑fitting set improves comfort and reduces fogging across many dives.
5–7mm wetsuit (depending on season)
Thicker suits are necessary in winter; 5mm is common in shoulder seasons.
