The boat slips away from the jetty and the coastline of Tenerife recedes into a serrated horizon. Salt and diesel, the soft slap of swells and a briefing clipboard create the rhythm of the morning; soon you’ll be sinking through blue that narrows into a tunnel of light as you descend toward 40 metres.

2 days (approx. 48 hours)
Fitness Level
Reasonable cardiovascular fitness and comfort swimming in open water; must be free of disqualifying medical conditions and able to perform moderate physical tasks.
Wildlife
History
Tenerife’s coastline is volcanic; underwater topography and reefs are shaped by ancient lava flows and centuries of maritime traffic, which created diveable wrecks and artificial habitats.
Conservation
Many Tenerife dive sites benefit from local marine management—respect no-take zones, avoid touching wildlife, and practice neutral buoyancy to minimize reef damage.
Reserve your spot on the SSI Deep Diving Specialty Session in Tenerife today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Check prerequisite certification
Bring proof of Open Water Diver (or equivalent) and a recent dive log—most operators require basic certification and some logged dives.
Monitor no-fly rules
Plan travel so you do not fly within 24 hours of your last dive and follow instructor guidance on surface intervals.
Bring a dive computer
A reliable dive computer with depth alarms and a bottom timer is essential for deeper profiles and gas planning.
Practice buoyancy before deep dives
Good buoyancy control reduces reef contact and improves safety during ascent and safety stops at depth.
Dive computer
Tracks depth, no-decompression limits and ascent rates—critical for multiple and deep dives.
3–5mm wetsuit (or 5mm in winter)
Thermal protection for 18–24°C water keeps you comfortable on longer bottom times.
winter
Surface marker buoy (SMB)
Increases visibility during ascents and safety stops in open-ocean conditions.
Fins and mask (fit-tested)
Well-fitting gear improves air consumption, propulsion, and overall comfort at depth.
