I am due to go on a late holiday to Tenerife in October. I am going to the Southwest of the Island. Can anyone give me any info on good dive operations in the area ? Or general dive info. thanks.

He was OD at the time.
We only did scenic dives - ranged from 15m through 35m
All the dives were from a RHIB
Good viz, fair amount of sea life, some currents

Dive centre (VERY) laid back, no fuss, just got on with the diving. They were also (VERY) cheap by comparison with other dive operations abroad.

We dived with them becuase my son is 14 and the other operator in the port refused to take divers under the age of 16.

While we were there, the dive centre were taking other groups on wreck & scnic dives in the 40-50m range, so theres something for everyone...

Hi

We dived at Los Gigantees last year (March), dive centre have an advert in Dive or Diver, picture of a ray - Los Gigantees Dive Centre i think they are called (They were changing names soon after our trip)

Very good for us, but we were a club trip dealing with our own buddying, instructing and qualifying while we were there. Neville runs it, they are on the Marina, just before you get to Nick's one i think. It was a BSAC School as well i think, although a few of the staff were PADI.

All reef stuff down to about 30m. Good stuff, Rays were outstanding.

Have a good trip
