★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,347 reviews · from $85

Meet the Travel Sub team at Puerto Colón for a 3-hour introduction to scuba in Costa Adeje. You’ll learn with a PADI instructor, reach up to 12 meters, snorkel near turtles and fish, and ride a speedboat along Tenerife’s coast. Instructors including Ruben, Romana, Max, and Dave are praised for calm, patient coaching.

“Such a surreal experience. Parking was available at the pier (paid parking). There were changing rooms/toilet facilities and I wear a headscarf so the team were accommodating in giving me a scarf alternative. We had a briefing in groups and then went off onto the speed boat. The views were AMAZING (and very salty from the water!). Because it was my first time, we were closer to the oceanbed , with those more confident further out. It says it’s 1 instructor with 2 staff but thankfully we had 1:1 which was needed! I became quite panicky as I got into the water but my instructor (Reuben) was SO patient and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 627 reviews · 2 hours · from $82

From Puerto Colón, you receive a 30-minute safety lesson, gear fitting, and close guidance from a certified instructor before a 15-minute speedboat ride to a sheltered bay. Expect a 45-minute underwater session at no more than 10 meters, with snorkeling possible and sea turtles only a chance, not a promise.

“We had an incredible experience! It was our first time diving, and the team made us feel completely at ease from the start. Everything was really well-organised and easy to follow. One of the big highlights was how close the dive site was – no long, tiring boat rides like I’ve had in the past. The dive itself was unforgettable, and we got to see some fascinating marine life up close. I’d highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tenerife!”

All the staff were very friendly, especially Alberto who explained all the safety details to us and our instructor Ruben who dived with us. He was very helpful and patient as we settled into the gear and the water and constantly made sure we were both okay. Saw some amazing sealife and got some incredible pictures and videos emailed to us. Highly recommend and I'd love to come back to get certified! Thank you all!”
