Special Course Night Diving
3 dives, min. 2-3 nights Diving at night is a completely different feeling and experience than during the day. The sea is usually calmer and where during the day there might be a lot of people swimming and being on the beach, you are now alone, just together with your diving partners. The underwater world […]
The first time – considerations for the TRY DIVER
As with other things in life, starting is the hardest and most exciting aspect of diving. You might ask yourself how dangerous a try dive really is, if you meet the physical requirements, how to find a good diving school, or whether you will dare to start at all.
I shall begin this post with the supposed “danger” of scuba diving by assuring you that diving is statistically one of the safest sports one can practice, and actually poses, as long as you follow the rules, little or no danger. And which rules would those be? Some pretty basic ones indeed: no diving alone, no diving too deep nor for too long, no diving without the required experience in unfamiliar sites….
Abades Bay
Although the dive site of Abades is one of the most popular dive sites of Tenerife, it is so extensive that, once submerged, we will hardly meet any other divers. The dive site lies sheltered by a large bay, so that there is hardly any current nor big waves. The site is very versatile, being […]
Abades Mountain
Abades Mountain dive site is close to the popular dive site of Abades Bay, and is an absolute ‘must’ because, being quite hidden, we will hardly meet other divers there. We reach the dive site driving an inconspicuous sandy track away from the busy bay of Abades. Once there, we can park the minibus or […]
Alcala
Alcala dive site is located about 15km east of our dive club and is suitable for both beginners and advanced divers. There is a small bay with a staircase that leads us to the water that offers us a varied volcanic underwater seascape featuring canyons and steep walls. With a little luck, here we may […]
Aquarium Stingray
This dive site is located directly in front of the harbour of Las Galletas and is reached by a short boat drive from the same. In general, we anchor at a depth between 12 and 15 meters and then dive down to about 22 meters to the nearby reef. Of late, Aquarium has become one […]
El Condesito
This dive site is located in a nature reserve between Los Cristianos and Las Galletas reachable by boat in about 20 minutes from the harbour of Las Galletas The wreck of El Condestito lies at a depth of about 8 to 16 meters. It was originally an old concrete freighter that crashed onto the cliffs […]
El Poris Bay
El Poris is a small holiday resort about 30 kilometres from the dive centre that we can reach in about 25 minutes drive. After parking directly at the dive site, we easily enter the water using a staircase that takes us to a semi-submerged platform. From here we dive first to approx. 5 meters to […]
El Puertito
Located about 10km northeast of the dive club, El Puertito is a protected bay with a small beach and a beach bar. The dive site is suitable for beginners, but is also very popular with advanced divers. We reach the dive site easily by car and can park close to the water. The entry is […]
Las Eras
Las Eras is a small, quiet village on the south coast of Tenerife located about 30km from our dive center. The somewhat longer journey of about 30 minutes is made worth by the sheer beauty of this dive site. After parking close to the waterline, we reach the dive site via a small beach within […]
