Dive beneath the waves of Tenerife’s southern coast with Get Holiday’s guided scuba baptism. Ideal for first-timers eager to master basic diving skills in crystal-clear Atlantic waters.
Off the southern coast of Tenerife, in the vibrant municipality of Adeje, Get Holiday offers a beginner’s scuba diving baptism—an introduction to the island’s underwater world designed for first-time divers eager to connect with the ocean’s quiet pulse. This isn’t just a dive; it’s an initiation into the rich marine environment of the Canary Islands, where volcanic formations meet crystalline waters teeming with life. Situated in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Adeje provides access to dive sites that balance accessibility with stunning biodiversity.
Your adventure starts with an expert briefing covering safety essentials and basic scuba skills. Afterward, you board a comfortable boat that leads you to a dive site carved from ancient lava flows and dotted with caves and coral outcrops. Here, up to 40 minutes underwater allow you to practice breathing techniques and equipment handling under the steady guidance of Get Holiday’s professional instructors.
The waters around Tenerife stand out thanks to their clarity and the remarkable volcanic seabed, home to species like parrotfish, angel sharks, and vibrant octopuses. Unlike crowded Mediterranean dive spots, these Atlantic waters present unique underwater landscapes shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity, inviting divers to witness coral gardens and rocky formations teeming with life.
Get Holiday’s dive experiences are a gateway to understanding Tenerife’s marine ecosystem, offering a perfect balance of safety, skill-building, and awe. With Adeje’s mild climate and southern exposure, diving conditions remain favorable year-round, reinforcing Tenerife’s reputation as one of Europe’s premier diving destinations.
