Had an excellent time doing my open water course with dive and sea Tenerife, Pete and Melissa are possibly some of the nicest people i' ve meet. Contacted Melissa before i went to Tenerife and she helped out suggesting hotels near by and booked my dive course for the weekend. The diving was great Pete took me and one other for the course with the help of 'ant and dec' the dive master interns at the time. I felt safe and and well informed, which helped when i really didn't like taking the mask off, Pete took me through at my own pace and helped to calm me down. I probably would have not got through it if i hadn't had his help. The dive site we went to had amazingly clear water and very friendly fish, saw a cuttlefish the first time i went down, Amazing!

I arranged a dive for my 13year old son with Dive & Sea Tenerife, all very last minute but Melissa was so helpful, great communication & very friendly. We were picked up from the hotel and my son enjoyed 2 fabulous dives.
I highly recommend the team-professional, friendly and generally great people that I trusted to look after my son.
Thank you so much

We booked the diving via the internet/email direct with Melissa and it all worked out well. Picked up by car from the lobby of our hotel and delivered back after the diving. Great times for the diving as well, pick up at 8 , diving by 9, surface interval then 2nd dive by 1030ish so back by the pool side at hotel just after midday-no time wasting. All the dive sites were good, even the shore ones. Amazing to dive with the Stingrays.

Just been diving with Dive & Sea in Tenerife, after a disastrous start to our diving holiday. We booked to go diving in Puerto de la Cruz, but when we arrived the conditions were awful with 4 metre waves! After a bit of searching the only company we could find who would help was in the south of the Island. This was not a problem as they agreed to collect us and take us diving for the day, albeit with a 2 hour drive each way. We had 3 fantastic dives with really nice people, also staying in Puerto, and finally got to see some great dive sites in Tenerife. A great experience and we shall be coming back, but perhaps next time to the South of Tenerife where there seems to be more options for when bad weather hits. My advice is if you ever get stuck and cant dive in the North, just call the dive company´s down south and see what you can arrange, it is worth the hassle and trouble as the diving is great.

For my birthday, my family and I took a vacation to Tenerife, Canary Islands. Although I enjoyed lounging in the sun, shopping and the great restaurants this beautiful island has to offer, the most exciting part about our trip was scuba diving. We spent a couple hours in the pool getting familiar with the gear, and how to handle certain situations during a actual sea dive. Because I was a little nervous, the advisors took the time to slowly go through our practice session and made me comfortable being under water. The location of our ocean dive was a very cool area with friendly and beautiful fish. I had a great first scuba diving experience and hope to do it again.

As a couple we were interested in trying something new that we could enjoy together. Dive and Sea Tenerife were extremely friendly and made choosing the best way to experience scuba diving very easy. We booked one day, and began our scuba experience the next. We were made to feel very welcome and that our experience was the number one priority. We can't recomend enough that anyone looking to experience scuba diving make Melissa & Pete at Dive and Sea Tenerife your first point of contact. We are now working towards our PADI Open Water Diver certification and only hope that all our future dive experiences can live up to this first one. Thanks guys!!!

I have just been to Dive and Sea Tenerife and found the whole experience easy. From all of the emails that we sent to each other, booking accommodation through them in the complex which they are located, getting there and doing 18 dives in total with two spec's included was all no hassle to them and made my life easy. Pete and Melissa were fun to be around and very easy to get on with while offering a great service through out. Dive site were good with good vis and lots to see. Area was quite and relaxing after the dive with a late bar and lots of places to eat with in walking distance. Will be diving there again at some stage if i can.

Arrived in Tenerife in June with the intention to carry out some diving as part of our trip. After looking into various dives centres in tenerife decided that the Dive and Sea center in Tenerife had every we needed and more. I was a bit nervous has this was my 1st boat dive dont know why was soon put at ease by Pete and Mel best dive experience of my life. Could not believe the amount of sealife avaible during our 4 dive package Rays,moray eels, octopus to name a few. Will definatley recommend Dive and Sea and can't wait for my next visit to Tenerife. Thanks again Pete and Mel

Met Melissa at the dive shop and we were both impressed by her professional attitude and description of the diving available. As we are both in our sixties the prospect of diving from a rigid inflatable was approached with some trepidation but we need not have worried as Peter is a very good skipper. The "submarine site" was especially memorable as we have not been mobbed by rays before! Would have no hesitation in recommending "Dive and Sea Tenerife" to anyone who wishes to dive while in Tenerife.

Our second visit to Gulf de Sur was even better as we were able to book some dive trips with Dive and Sea. Probably a good idea to book before arriving in Tenerife. Melissa can not do enough to make bookings easy, giving friendly helpful advice. We went out diving off their rib (Melissa and Pete's pride and joy!). It felt more like having your own personal dive crew, four of us on the rib, including melissa and Pete. I hired all of the equipment needed for diving, which was of excellent standard. My wife came on board for the jolly, and a good old gossip with Melissa! Great vis. Typical med. fish. exciting swim- through. Quite a surreal experience seeing my wife on the Yellow Submarine looking out at us through a porthole! We hope to go back for another visit very soon and catch up with Pete and Melissa over a few more drinks! This time Pete I'll have a bigger one (dagger)!

I have always wanted to try scuba Diving and I finally got to this summer and Dive and Sea Tenerife. The experience was amazing and was only enhanced by the owners who made me feel very safe and welcome. They walked me through the activity and made me feel completely in control. As a result of my time at Dive and Sea Tenerife, I have decided to return next Summer to get further qualifications. I Would recommend Dive and Sea Tenerife as they make the Scuba Diving experience Enjoyable and addictive!

My boyfriend and I tried diving here while in Tenerife at the end of May. Melissa very kindly picked us up from our hotel and we went with Pete for a couple of hours training in a swimming pool to ease us into it and you can go at your own pace. Then the next morning they took us out on the boat to do an ocean dive. I absolutely loved it (although my boyfriend decided to stay on the boat, at least he gave it a try in the pool!) It was a really amazing experience and I am saving up so I can go onto the next level and do the open water course. In the water we saw a baby angel shark and saw the fish being fed some urchins and Pete took some photos underwater which was a really nice touch. All in all a great first diving experience and I couldn't have picked a better dive centre to go to. Recommend 100%

We found the, family run, dive centre has really friendly staff and happy to accommodate all levels of diver.

The kit was of good quality and the depth of knowledge by the staff was first rate.

Ask them anything about, not only diving, but Tenerife and they can answer you.

Other than the diving, which we enjoyed immensely, they helped sort us out a car, excursion tickets and even the best, and cheapest, places for food and drink.

A really good operation that is customer focused, such a change from the usual big operations.

We hope you have a fantastic summer and keep up the good work.

Tim & Mike.

We had a really great time in Tenerife diving.

I upgraded from Scuba Diver to Open water diver and my girlfriend had some fun dives, then joined me for so more after I finished my course.

The prices were cheaper than certain other local centres (once you added in all the extras like for boat diving).

Very easy people to get along with, had a laugh every day!

Kit was first class, boat was awesome, instruction was clear, concise yet still relaxed. They even washed and looked after my own kit as well, delivering it back to me before we left.

The dive sites are out of the world, with Turtles, Sting rays and so much more, but they were my favourite.

We will be back next year for a diving holiday as Tenerife has so much to offer, that we didn't know before!

We would like to thank you all very much, Pete, Melissa, Andy and even little George and we will see you next year.

Just returned from Tenerife where I enjoyed another three days diving with Pete and Melissa.
I have dived in Canaries Islands, Egypt, Mexico and the Caribbean many times since completeing my Advanced Open water course in Tenerife over 12 years ago and can honestly say Dive and Sea are the friendliest and most professional Dive Centre I have had the pleasure of diving with.
Great people, great equipment and great dive sites. I would not even consider diving with another dive centre in Tenerife.

Just a quick message to say thank you very much for giving me and my friends a great time diving with you.
Jenny and Steve are far to lazy to put a message on but agree with my comments that you are really the best in Tenerife.
For anyone wanting a safe, fun and varied diving holiday these guys are for you. Nothing was too much trouble for Melissa, Pete and Skippy, from picking us up to washing / storing all of our kit for us.
Visited many different sites with so much to see, my favourite was the rays and the submarine.
Will definately be back soon, thanks again and we wish you all the best.
Mike, Jenny and Steve

Pete and Melissa are both professional and efficient. They looked after me well both on land and in the water. Had two good dives when I was there in Feburary I saw stingrays, octupus, cuttlefish, moray eels, and a good variety of fish.

This is a very helpfull and accomplished dive centre with a very a friendly and family atmosphere, great equiptment, good dive sites,I took my nephew out to Tenerife for a short winter break and he decided he would like to try the diving experience we contacted Melissa before we flew and with me being a qualified rescue diver asked what the best options were for us both to dive together Melissa was extremely friendly and helpfull and booked a DSD for my nephew to experience followed by a deep dive for myself and then a dive for both of us all this was extremely reasonably priced and I decided to fit in an extra dive. The sites were great and Pete was a great instructor who was giving a Divemaster training course whilst we were doing this (hope skippy qualified) I am now considering having a few weeks in Tenerife and going for my Scuba Master course in the future with Melissa and Pete. I would recommend this dive centre to all divers experienced or not for a friendly, safe, and overall thoroughly great dive experience my nephew has not stopped talking about it and he is already talking about his next visit thanks to all.

Enjoyable, relaxed, quality kit, SAFE and loads of fun. That is how I would sum up my time with the boy's and girls at Dive & Sea in Tenerife. Had a 6 dive pack, reasonably priced at around 170 Euros, including all the kit and every dive a boat dive, is there any other type of diving? :-) Good start time's, which stopped the wife telling me off, as I was back early enough to do "family things" Many varied site's to visit within a short trip of the boat mooring. So many good things about this company and just can't think of anything bad to say, well they could do it all for free, then it would be better. If you get the chance to go diving in Tenerife, yu really must look up these guys. Thank you again very much.

I did a refresher course and did two dives with Dive and Sea Tenerife. The course was professional and the teaching clear and concise. The dives were great fun, a fascinating volcanic underwater world, with plenty of fish (yellow montain). The staff of Dive and Sea were very friendly and helpful throughout, the equimpment is of high quality and Pete definitely knows the diving spots of Tenerife. I have already plans to come back and do the Advanced course.

I've been scuba diving for several years but finally decided to take the course. Great news...I passed and got my scuba certification on 24th November with Pete and Melissa. Must not forget Renny my "buddy" from Denmark who joined us and also passed. So we're both official Open Water divers.
