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.

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.
Tenerife’s south coast is shaped by volcanic fire—black rock shelves, pinnacles and sand pockets formed from eruptions that predate recorded history. Ship traffic over centuries has added artificial structure: wrecks and anchors that now host encrusted corals and resident fish. The islands’ maritime culture blends Canary Island fishing traditions with modern dive tourism centered around southern ports such as Golf del Sur and Los Cristianos.
On an SSI Deep Diving Specialty you’ll practice planning dives to greater depths, gas management, and emergency procedures across three supervised dives, with instructors focusing on buoyancy, ascending protocols and nitrogen awareness. Expect bottom times to be conservative and safety stops mandatory; the work is technical and deliberate rather than recreational free-diving.
Practical guidance: arrive well rested, hydrated and with a recent log of dives or Open Water certification. A dive computer with depth alarms, a wetsuit suitable for 18–24°C water, and solid weighting for deeper profiles make your life easier. Flying within 24 hours of diving is not recommended—allow surface intervals and follow instructor guidance on repetitive dives. Leave contact with the reef and wildlife alone; controlled buoyancy protects both you and the marine environment. This course is an efficient, safety-first path to seeing Tenerife’s underwater cliffs and deeper wrecks with confidence.

This SSI Deep Diving Specialty includes training dives that can reach depths up to 40 metres under instructor supervision, with conservative bottom times and required safety stops.
A health questionnaire is required; certain conditions (e.g., heart or severe respiratory issues) may disqualify you—consult your doctor before booking.
Most packages include hotel pickup in the Golf del Sur area and transport by air-conditioned minivan, but verify exact pickup points when booking.
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.
Many Tenerife dive sites benefit from local marine management—respect no-take zones, avoid touching wildlife, and practice neutral buoyancy to minimize reef damage.
GooDiving operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
