We went diving today and had an amazing experience! Our diving instructor was absolutely fantastic — calm, patient, and incredibly supportive. She took a lot of time to explain everything clearly and helped us feel safe and comfortable the entire time, especially when we were nervous or unsure. Thanks to her, we were able to truly enjoy the dive and gain confidence in the water. We can highly recommend this diving school and would definitely come back.

I have never dived before, can I still try? Absolutely. Our Try Scuba Diving experience needs zero experience and no certification. Our patient, caring instructors specialize in stress-free training, and most first-timers say their nerves disappear within minutes. Do I need to be certified for fun dives? Yes, fun dives require an Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent). If you are not certified yet, start with our Try Scuba Diving experience or an SSI course and we will get you there. What languages do you teach and guide in? English, German and Spanish. You can learn and ask questions in whichever language you are most comfortable with. How big are the groups? We cap groups at a maximum of 4 divers per guide, and often fewer. Private one-to-one training is available on request for the most personal experience. Is equipment included in the price? Yes. All dive equipment, wetsuits, BCDs, regulators, dive computers and more, is included and regularly serviced. You are welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer. Do I need diving insurance or a medical certificate? All divers must have valid diving insurance, which we can help you arrange. If you have any medical conditions, a certificate confirming you are fit to dive may be required. When is the best time to dive in Tenerife? Any time! Tenerife offers year-round diving with warm water (18 to 24°C) and great visibility, so there is no off-season. Where are you located? We are in Los Cristianos, south Tenerife, Av. Juan Carlos I, 24, Edificio Achacay. An easy base with calm seas and quick access to volcanic reefs. ## Ready to get in the water? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort dates, level and gear.
