Do you have questions about diving in Tenerife? Here you will find answers about introductory dives, PADI diving courses, diving equipment and safety. Our Ocean Trek dive school in Costa Adeje welcomes beginners and experienced divers in small groups – also in English.
For an introductory dive with Ocean Trek in Costa Adeje, you do not need to be a strong swimmer. However, you should feel comfortable in the water and have basic swimming skills. An experienced PADI diving instructor will accompany you throughout the dive.
Children can start the PADI Junior Open Water Diver course at age 10. From age 15, teenagers can complete the regular PADI Open Water Diver course and receive an internationally recognized diving certification upon successful completion.
No, not necessarily. Before diving, you complete a medical questionnaire . If you can answer “No” to all relevant health questions, a medical examination is usually not required.
Depending on your answers or any pre-existing medical conditions, a doctor’s clearance may be necessary. This applies to introductory dives, diving courses and guided dives.
If you are unsure, please contact us before booking. We will be happy to explain which documents you need.
There is no mandatory waiting period before diving after a normal flight. However, you should feel fit and well rested.
After diving, you need to allow sufficient surface time before your return flight. As a general recommendation, wait at least 12 hours after a single no-decompression dive and at least 18 hours after multiple dives or multiple days of diving. Depending on your dive profile, a longer waiting period may be necessary.
When booking, feel free to tell us when your return flight is. We will help you plan your dives accordingly.
Most people study the theory beforehand using PADI e-learning. Since we only teach diving courses in very small groups, the practical part usually takes just 2 days. To be on the safe side, we recommend allowing a third day as a backup.
