The boat hums against cobalt water as the crew fits your harness and clips the canopy lines. A quick safety briefing, the engine revs, and the parachute catches the trade wind — you lift cleanly above the surf, the island shrinking into a band of volcanic rock and sun-bleached sand. From the air the south coast of Tenerife reads like a study in contrasts: black lava cliffs, golden strips of beach and the snow-capped bulk of Teide inland, all edged by the Atlantic.
