Guided Dives in Tenerife: Fun & Relaxed Exploration

Q: What are your diving hours? Can I dive in the afternoon instead of the morning?

Our standard guided dive schedule begins with a morning arrival at 9:30 AM and finishes around 14:00, leaving your afternoons free. However, if you prefer a later start or a night profile, we also organize afternoon guided dives and night dives in Abades upon request, subject to weather conditions and group minimums.

Looking for relaxed, small-group or individual guided dives while on holiday in Tenerife? Our daily guided dives for certified divers are entirely about laid-back, stress-free exploration. Located directly on the beachfront of the protected Abades Bay, we offer stress-free fun diving focused on safety, local marine life, and excellent facilities.

Divers from all Training Agencies are welcome — We regularly welcome divers from all training organizations, including PADI, SSI, CMAS, BSAC, FFESSM, and FEDAS. Our guided trips are entirely about pleasure and exploration, and we tailor the pace completely to your comfort level and experience.

Tenerife offers excellent diving conditions all year round. Water temperatures range from a winter low of 20°C (68°F) in February to a summer high of 24°C (75°F) in September.

You can regularly expect to see green sea turtles, stingrays, butterfly rays, octopuses, cuttlefish, moray eels, barracuda and large schools of reef fish. If you are diving with us during the cooler winter and spring months, we also frequently encounter endangered Angel Sharks resting on the shallow sandy patches.

Can I join your guided dives if I am newly certified or haven't dived in a while?

Ambos instructores muy responsables, prudentes y me transmitieron mucha tranquilidad, además de los conocimientos del propio curso. Si vuelvo a Tenerife a bucear, sin duda, será con ellos!

We booked a guided dive and ended up doing two dives, with plenty of marine animals to admire. We really liked how respectful the diving school was towards the animal life.
It was an amazing experience, we felt very safe and taken care of.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Csaba et Levi, un duo de guide de plongée très professionnel et très à l’écoute des débutants. Csaba a su rassurer ma compagne qui n’était pas vraiment à l’aise au début, lors des exercices.
Une fois prête, nous avons eu droit à un parcours riche en poissons visibles au premier coup d’œil et débusqués à la torche par Csaba. 😎🙌🏼👏🏼

L’accueil était vraiment génial et un grand merci à Levi qui a su nous mettre en confiance tout au long de la plongée. Tout était très bien expliqué avant de partir, aussi bien le déroulement du parcours que ce que nous étions susceptibles de voir, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de l’expérience.

Nous avons eu la chance de voir plein de belles choses sous l’eau et nous avons vraiment passé un super moment. Merci encore à toute l’équipe pour votre professionnalisme, votre gentillesse et cette superbe expérience ! Nous recommandons les yeux fermés 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe den Try scuba Dive in dieser Schule gemacht & bin absolut begeistert. Ich habe mir vorher aufgrund von vorherigen Mittelohrentzündungen Sorgen gemacht, ob das tauchen & auch der Drucksusgleich für mich möglich ist. Aber es wurde sich viel Zeit genommen, alles sehr gut erklärt und ich habe Mich die ganze Zeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Absolute Empfehlung :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe ganz spontan am letzten Urlaubstag einen Schnupperkurs bis 5m Tiefe machen dürfen. Da es schon später Nachmittag war, war ich allein. Ich war echt skeptisch, ob Tauchen etwas für mich ist und hatte anfangs etwas Panik wg verschlucken oder Wasser in der Nase. Da ich alleine mit dem Tauchlehrer war, konnte er komplett auf mich eingehen und hat mir superschnell die Angst genommen und mir Zeit zum Eingewöhnen gegeben. Danach hat es Klasse funktioniert und wir waren 30 min am Stück unter Wasser. War eine tolle Erfahrung. Lieben Dank an das Team und klare Empfehlung.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons fait deux plongées avec Csaba et ce furent de loin les meilleures que nous ayons faites !

Nous avons vu énormément de poissons, des tortues, des raies pastenagues… C’était tout simplement incroyable ! Csaba nous a montré tout ce qu’il y avait à voir, et même bien plus encore. Il a vraiment tout fait pour que nous puissions profiter au maximum de ces deux plongées.

De mon côté, j’ai plus de 30 plongées à mon actif, et je peux sincèrement dire que ce furent de loin mes meilleures expériences sous l’eau.

Mon compagnon, qui n’a pas encore de diplôme de plongée, a également été parfaitement accompagné. Csaba a été très investi, pédagogue, patient et à l’écoute, tout en sachant nous mettre en confiance.

Un excellent instructeur, passionné et attentif, qui connaît parfaitement son environnement et sait vraiment partager sa passion.

Une expérience exceptionnelle que nous recommandons les yeux fermés ! Merci encore Csaba pour ces magnifiques plongées et à bientôt  ! 🐢🐠🤿
