“A wonderful experience. These are real professionals who made us feel calm and safe with the activity. They gave us kindness and confidence from minute one. Our instructor Dani very good boy, friendly and fun at all times to relieve our nerves, explained with a smile and a lot of patience all the material we would use, all the rules and guidelines to follow until we walk with the team in the water. Once there he took care of us, helped us, without rushing to feel first impressions and be comfortable, then we just had to relax and enjoy the marine life. We take an unforgettable memory. AND THANK YOU👌💚Auto-translated”

“Just had my first scuba dive which was on my bucket list for a verrrry long time. It was a very special 10th anniversary gift. I chose to do the shore dive as I was a bit nervous as I only knew the basics of swimming. But my diving instructor Gaya was amazing. She explained everything clearly and was patient. She made sure I was at ease and did not rush at all. Would highly recommend her. I did see a sting ray, school of fish and a few colourful fish too. Definitely going to do it again hopefully not too far in the future”

Try scuba in Tenerife with pool training, a sea session, small groups, hotel pickup, and clear advice for first-time participants.

“Great staff and dive, but experience let down by lots of waiting around and the fact that the boat ran out of fuel, leaving us out on the water cold and nauseous. We also booked the afternoon slot but were asked to swap to the morning slot due to lack of availability. This wasn't an issue luckily, but made the waiting around seem even longer in the morning. It would have been better if we were told to do the PADI app questions/theory beforehand also, and we didn't get told how to equalise our ears until we were actually on the dive. Lastly, there was no option for photos despite…”
