We operate a fully commercial diving RIB. If you are unsure about a Tenerife dive centres boat just check on it’s bow (front) and as long as it shows a number starting with “6A” it is a commercially register boat. If it has no number or starts with “7A” it is NOT a commercial boat and should not be used.

Back to TopAre there Sharks in the water!!??
None that you need to be concerned about. We are very fortunate to have Angel Shark’s in the water’s of Tenerife and they are simply not interested in human’s, as they are bottom feeder’s. Sharks generally get bad press and there are no reports of attacks on divers in Tenerife.
Can I go diving if I’m disabled?
We would be happy to discuss with you any concern’s you may have. Just because you have a disability does not mean that you can not come diving.
