| Tenerife really comes to life underwater, spectacular volcanic
scenery greets you, visibility of 25-30m is normal, and marine life is plentiful, varied
and friendly. The Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream here offer beautiful sea-scapes together with Parrot
fish, Barracuda, Grouper, Trigger fish, Moray Eels, Angel Shark Eagle and Sting rays, and
much more in warm clear seas ( sea temperatures: 23c-25c in summer and 18c - 21c in winter
) |

Over the last 19 years we have run our
centre, people ask us
" So what's diving in Tenerife really like?" our
answer remains the same, "Come and see for yourselves, you wont be
disappointed!". There isn't a vast amount of coral here, although there are black and
soft corals to be found on certain dive sites that we visit, but its not like the Red Sea,
although we do have a great variety of fish life it often surprises us with its diversity. |

| Our dive
at Paraisio with the Sting and Eagle Rays is a must, the rays here
are not at all shy.
We also visit
a new site where turtles and butterfly rays gather, a small Marine
Reserve buzzing with life has been set up by David Novillo to
promote the fauna along our coastline, to dive it is a lovely
experience. The project has the backing of the University of La
Laguna and is closely monitored to protect the eco system here, we
feel privileged to be able to dive there and hope that this area
continues to grow.
We do have a great
variety of marine life often changing with the seasons, and much, much more for the diver
and underwater photographer to record. |

importantly a Qualified Boat Handler that remains on the boat at all times providing safety cover whilst the

The marina is
a great place to relax between dives there is a super beach and many
restaurants, bars etc for you to choose from. Or you can join us for
lunch in the Yachting Cafe just opposite our boat and enjoy some good conversation and
