What To Expect
You don't need to be a certified scuba diver to admire the underwater nature. We organize diving for beginners in a beautiful place called the Bay of Stingrays. There are several kinds of rays here and none are aggressive. On the contrary, they are very peaceful and friendly.
The Stingray Bay is home to many species of underwater animals. A large part of the bottom is covered by a volcanic reef. It is a favourite place for all kinds of underwater animals and fish. During the dive, we can watch about 15 species of fish, rays, turtles, crabs, moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, shrimps and many more. We encounter stingrays here every day, although we do not guarantee that for every dive.
The minimum age is 8 years. We start with 30 minutes of training in a language understood by the participant. We do the briefing, prepare diving equipment and enter the water. Try divers are under the supervision of an instructor, in a maximum of two to one ratio. This gives great comfort and safety. This distinguishes our school from others. Our Diving Center is located just in front of the water entrance in the Stingray Bay that makes it very comfortable to dive here.

Filter by:
Participants in the First Dive Experience in Tenerife cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
Jun 2024If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
