The boat slips away from the harbor and the south coast of Tenerife opens like a page of dark, underwater rock—lava flows cooled into fingers of reef where fish gather and rays glide. Participants meet their instructor in Los Cristianos, board a short transfer, and head for the sheltered coves that make this shore ideal for first-time snorkelers.
