Medication – If you are taking any medication please advise your Instructor on commencement of the course.
Health care – Health care in the Canary Islands is good, but it is a good idea to collect the EHIC form from your local post office or online at www.ehic.org.uk.

Recommended clothes

It is recommended that you bring with you your own lifejacket if you have one as you will gain the experience of servicing it and seeing how it performs in an emergency.  It should be fitted with a crotch strap.
