This is not just another instructor job

At Scuba Legends Dive Center, we do things differently.

We are a small PADI 5 Star IDC Center (2–4 staff) based in Puerto del Carmen, focused on:

• small groups
• high-quality teaching
• real attention to detail
• and doing things properly, even if it takes more effort

If you enjoy large groups, parties and “volume diving”, this is probably not the right place.

If you care about teaching well, working with intention, striving for quality and being proud of what you do, keep reading.

You might be a good fit if you…

• speak Spanish & English fluently (French/German is a big plus)
• are confident working independently, but also enjoy teamwork
• have a positive, proactive mindset
• care about quality over quantity
• are organized, reliable, and professional in how you present yourself
• work well within structured systems and schedules, and value consistency in established procedures
• enjoy working with people and creating a good atmosphere
• are physically fit and comfortable with 2–3 dives per day + equipment handling
• want to improve as an instructor, not just repeat the same routine
• are environmentally aware
• are a non-smoker (or able to not smoke whilst diving)
• don’t mind having a dog around the dive center

Requirements

• Active PADI OWSI + EFR Instructor (or higher)
• EU passport (Spanish NIE/DNI is a plus)
• Valid fit-to-dive medical (or completed upon arrival)
• Good understanding of PADI systems (eLearning, App, Pro Site)
• Full set of professional, well-maintained diving equipment
• Valid European driving license (manual) – min. 2 years
• Previous experience is helpful, but not essential

Your responsibilities

• Up to three activity sessions/dives a day (8:15/10:15/12:15)
• Conduct dives and courses according to your qualification level
• Guide snorkelers & certified divers, run DSDs, refreshers, and courses
• Support Divemaster training when applicable
• Handle equipment (packing, carrying, loading, cleaning)
• Maintain a clean and organized work environment
• Assist with basic office duties when needed
• Help keep equipment, vehicles, and facilities in top condition

What we offer

• Full-time position with legal contract in Spain
• Social security & health insurance
• 23 paid holidays/year worked
• 2 days off per week (rotation)
• Salary: 1,424.50€ / month (review after 1 year)
• approximate working schedule 7:30 ~ 15:30
• DAN liability insurance
• No tank filling (external service)

What makes the difference

• Small groups → better teaching, less stress
• Clean, modern dive center with sea view terrace
• Well-maintained vehicles & quality equipment
• Introductory days to get familiar with sites & operations
• Staff discounts on dive gear
• Support in finding accommodation
• Real opportunity to grow long-term

If you bring additional skills (social media, SEO, photography, videography, editing, operations, leadership), we are open to building a long-term path together.

• Year-round diving (18–24°C)
• Plenty of dive sites for recreational and technical diving
