Spanish & Dive during the Travelling Classroom

SPANISH & DIVE!

Learn Spanish in the Morning, dive in the Afternoon; the Ultimate Travelling Spanish Classroom Experience.

Imagine leaving the Travelling Spanish Classroom with more than improved Spanish,  going home with a new skill that can open the door to underwater adventures all over the world.

With a PADI Open Water Diver certification, you become a certified recreational diver, allowing you to join scuba dives within the limits of your training and experience in destinations around the world. From exploring coral reefs and discovering colorful marine life to joining dive trips on future holidays, your Open Water certification can become the beginning of a lifelong passion for diving.

And you can start that journey while learning Spanish!

During the third week of the Travelling Spanish Classroom, the journey takes you to Bocas del Toro, a beautiful Caribbean archipelago on the northwest coast of Panama. With its tropical islands, crystal-clear Caribbean waters, colorful coral reefs, lush surroundings and relaxed island atmosphere, Bocas del Toro is the perfect place to combine Spanish learning with an unforgettable underwater adventure.

At the Travelling Spanish Classroom, students can combine their Spanish course with an unforgettable diving experience. Your mornings are dedicated to Spanish lessons, while your afternoons can be spent discovering the underwater world.

Spanish in the morning. Diving in the afternoon. A whole new way to learn, travel and experience the world.

Learn Spanish. Then explore another world.

Once the Spanish lesson of the morning is finished, the afternoon is yours to discover something completely different: the underwater world.

Diving is a wonderful complement to learning a language. You spend the morning communicating, listening and learning new words in Spanish, and the afternoon putting yourself into a completely different environment where you can experience new challenges, meet people and create memories.

Never dived before? Start with Discover Scuba

If you have always wondered what it feels like to breathe underwater but aren't sure if scuba diving is for you, you can start with a Discover Scuba Diving experience.

This is a great way to try scuba diving without committing immediately to a full certification course. You'll learn the basics, get comfortable with the equipment and experience your first underwater adventure under the guidance of a professional instructor.

If you discover that you love diving, you can continue your diving journey on another occasion by completing your PADI Open Water certification.

Ready to become a diver? Take your PADI Open Water course

For students who want to take their diving experience a step further, the PADI Open Water Diver course is an exciting option.

The Open Water course is the first level of recreational scuba certification and gives you the knowledge and skills you need to become a certified diver.

Imagine spending your mornings improving your Spanish and your afternoons learning how to dive.

By the end of your stay, you won't just have improved your Spanish — you could also have gained a completely new skill that you can take with you wherever your travels take you.

Already a certified diver? Go Advanced!

The experience isn't only for beginners.

If you already have your Open Water certification, you can use your time with the Travelling Spanish Classroom to continue developing your diving skills with a PADI Advanced Open Water course.

The Advanced course allows certified divers to expand their experience, try different types of diving and become more confident underwater.

So whether you are taking your very first breaths underwater or looking for your next diving challenge, there is an option to match your experience level.

Or simply enjoy a Fun Dive

Certified divers can also choose to join Fun Dives during their stay. It's a chance to simply enjoy being underwater, explore the local dive sites and share the experience with other divers — without the structure of a certification course.

Two passions, one unforgettable experience

Learning a language and learning to dive might seem like two completely different activities, but they have something important in common: they take you out of your comfort zone.

In Spanish class, you challenge yourself to communicate in a new language and underwater, you learn to trust your equipment, stay calm, observe your surroundings and communicate in a completely different way.

Both experiences encourage curiosity, confidence and a willingness to try something new and that's what the Travelling Spanish Classroom is all about!
