The best dive sites in Tenerife
We dive individually or in small groups of the same skill level.
Write to us to discuss the details of the dive, as well as the meeting time and dive sites.
Our hours are flexible and together we will adjust them to best suit your vacation 🙂
Of course we will.
If you know where you would like to dive, and specifically which place suits you best, we will certainly visit it 🙂 Above all, we want diving to suit your interests and skills.
We will certainly suggest which we think will be the best if you have any hesitation.
Definitely YES.
First of all: the ocean does not cool down as much as the sea.
Therefore, this allows for pleasant diving all year round.
Second: the water has a similar temperature at any depth.
What is especially important, it only varies between 19 and 25 degrees throughout the year.
Of course, we provide 5mm thick foams, so you will be adequately warm.
Of course.
Each dive site in Tenerife is fascinating, but also different.
To give you a brief overview of them, we invite you to visit the Dive Sites in Tenerife tab and contact us.
Importantly, the dive sites differ mainly in depth.
Certainly, novice divers will have less choice, which does not at all mean that they will see much less.
Of course.
We will organize by far the best dives at different points.
If you want to dive more than 1 day, you will undoubtedly visit a different site each day.
More importantly, we never combine advanced groups with new divers, so we use the dive time to the maximum.
Therefore, beginner divers will not feel the pressure of divers with higher grades.
