Spanish  and scuba diving course at Cartagena
 
Many of our students wish to take advantage of the warm, transparent water of the Caribbean to learn scuba diving at the same time that they are improving their Spanish. This is why we designed Spanish and Scuba Diving courses, in a joint venture with the city’s best scuba diving centre.

The scuba diving centre has a GOLD PALM RESORT OF PADI, which is the top distinction that this association awards to scuba diving centres around the world, all of this thanks to the equipment used, the quality of the air, the security systems used and above all to the people participating in the teaching process.
