If you already hold a dive certification, south Tenerife is one of Europe’s best places to dive in winter. We head out by boat from the Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje or Las Galletas area to sites chosen according to the day’s sea and the group’s level.
What you will see
- Volcanic lava walls and arches with caves and light beams.
- Green turtles, stingrays, angel sharks and moray eels on the sandy areas.
- Schools of grunts, parrotfish and barracuda, and wrecks in areas such as Las Galletas.
How it works
Briefing at the centre, kit set-up and two dives of about 45 minutes with a surface interval on the boat. Small groups per guide and depth matched to your certification (Open Water to 18 m, Advanced to 30 m).
