The highlight of my trip to Tenerife! The dive school made sure everyone was educated before going out on the boat (how to resolve any issues whilst diving like water in mask etc). Then the instructors took us out one by one to dive whilst the others snorkelled, I didn’t see any turtles but plenty of colourful fish and even a school of small fish. The instructor was so patient and took lots of photos (these were available to purchase after the trip for €30, which I did to remember this experience). Then upon getting back on the boat we were giving water and cakes to refuel ourselves. On the boat journey we saw dolphins of which the driver stopped and let us observe. Such a good experience and excellent value for money!

Great experience! I was open water certified and all the gear was provided and there was a cheap insurance fee. The sites were beautiful and our instructor was great! Definitely recommend if you like a good fun dive.

Experienced and careful divers! We didn't see turtles but beautiful fishes, shepia or even a stingray! Definitely a lifetime experience if you haven't done this before! Thank you guys ☀️
