What people are saying about Tenerife

The highlight of my trip to Tenerife! The dive school made sure everyone was educated before going out on the boat (how to resolve any issues whilst diving like water in mask etc). Then the instructors took us out one by one to dive whilst the others snorkelled, I didn’t see any turtles but plenty of colourful fish and even a school of small fish. The instructor was so patient and took lots of photos (these were available to purchase after the trip for €30, which I did to remember this experience). Then upon getting back on the boat we were giving water and cakes to refuel ourselves. On the boat journey we saw dolphins of which the driver stopped and let us observe. Such a good experience and excellent value for money!

The instructor we had was so patient and kind, even giving me his jet ski cause it was easier to ride. Videos and photos were taken for us and were only €15 for all of them. It was an amazing experience thank you so much!

Perfectly organised trip, amazing and knowledgeable captain. We saw a lot of dolphins, turtle. To summarise: highly recommended.

Amazing trip, lovely staff! We managed to see the dolphins and the pilot whales, two happy kids ❤️

Fantastic must do experience, friendly and knowledgeable staff!
