Diving in Tenerife from Abades

Abades is one of the most popular shore dive sites on Tenerife due to its abundant marine life, sea turtles, stunning volcanic reefs and easy diving conditions. Abades dive site is ideal for first-time and beginner divers as well as more experienced scuba divers. In the bay we often encounter rays, angel sharks and sea turtles. We are ideally located at the beach front, you just walk into the water from the dive center - no choppy boat rides, no exhausting long trips in a van.

Marine Life in Tenerife

The waters around Tenerife are home to a wide variety of marine life thanks to volcanic reefs, sandy bottoms, and nutrient-rich Atlantic currents. Every dive offers something different, from small reef fish and octopus to other species moving through the area. One of the highlights of diving in Tenerife is the chance to see sea turtles, especially in calm bays and shallow coastal zones. Divers often encounter rays gliding over the sand and, during their mating season, angel sharks resting on the seabed. This mix of species and habitats makes each dive unpredictable and unique, with no two underwater experiences ever being the same.

What Do Our Dives Look Like?

Tenerife offers stunning underwater landscapes filled with volcanic formations and rich marine life. Every dive is different, with the chance to encounter turtles, rays, and other unexpected marine life along the way. Take a look at a selection of our photos and videos from Instagram to get a feel for what you can expect underwater.

These guys are awesome. They did a diving search and rescue operation in Granadilla and recovered a hydro foil that I lost 500m from the shore.

Nous avons passé une superbe matinée avec Csaba et Levi pour 3 plongées dont 2 baptêmes. Nous avons eu beaucoup d'explications très claires et les exercices étaient très intéressants pour les baptêmes. Le site est très sympa et accessible pour les débutants (départ de la plage et descente progressive). Un vrai + pour la sympathie de Csaba et Levi vraiment merci ! 🙂

Nous avons fait une sortie snorkeling avec un guide français (rien que pour nous 4) qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer la faune et flore marine. Nous avons eu la chance de voir une tortue à quelques mètres de nous. C était trop. Merci. Je recommande.

Great Experience on the guided snorkeling trip. My daughter and wife had never dived or snorkelled before and were very nervous. Csaba guided them how to snorkel and relaxed them that by the end they had let go of the buoy and had the best experience. We saw loads of sealife including 3 turtles and a ray on the outer reef. Can't recommend enough.

Wir haben zu zweit den SSI Open Water Kurs mit Levi gemacht und können ihn und das Tenerife Diving Academy wirklich nur weiterempfehlen! Levi ist ein super Tauchlehrer – sehr engagiert, erfahren und gleichzeitig angenehm locker. Er hat eine richtig gute Balance zwischen Theorie, praktischen Übungen und vor allem Spaß beim Tauchen gefunden. Dadurch haben wir uns von Anfang an gut aufgehoben und sicher gefühlt. Was uns besonders gefallen hat: Man merkt, dass es Levi nicht darum geht, einem einfach das Zertifikat zu geben. Er will einem das Tauchen wirklich näherbringen und dafür sorgen, dass man die Grundlagen versteht, sicher anwenden kann und dabei Freude am Tauchen entwickelt. Vielen Dank an Levi für die tolle Zeit und die geduldige Betreuung! Klare Empfehlung!

Hice el curso de Divemaster con ellos y ha sido increíble. Son muy profesionales a la vez que cercanos, y te ayudan en todo lo que necesites. Es un curso intenso, pero se adaptan perfectamente a tu ritmo y a tus necesidades, y hacen todo lo posible para que te diviertas mientras avanzas. Abades es un sitio perfecto para aprender y disfrutar de la vida marina, aunque hagas 40 inmersiones en el mismo lugar, nunca te aburres y siempre descubres algo nuevo. 🐢

Encantados con la experiencia. Los instructores super majos y las inmersiones increíbles. Hicimos el curso de buceo avanzado y explicaron muy bien las cositas a tener en cuenta.
