About this tour
This introductory dive takes you beneath the surface of La Caleta bay, a sheltered cove off Tenerife's coast where Atlantic marine life congregates in clear waters. Over 90 minutes, you'll receive instruction from qualified divers, descend with full equipment, and explore rocky reefs and sandy patches teeming with local fish species and sea plants. The bay's shallow depth and protected waters make it ideal for your first underwater breath.

What to expect
You'll start on the boat with a safety briefing covering hand signals, breathing techniques, and what to do if anything feels wrong. Once geared up, you'll descend gradually into La Caleta's clear waters with an instructor at your side. The bay floor is a mix of rocks and sand where groupers, wrasse, and smaller fish dart between crevices. Visibility typically runs 15–25 metres. You'll practice breathing and moving at depth before exploring freely under supervision. Ascent is slow and controlled. The whole experience—entry to exit—takes around 90 minutes.
Good to know
Avoid flying within 12 hours of diving. Public transport reaches the dive site. Bring snacks beforehand—none are provided. Those with heart conditions should skip this. You'll receive underwater photos and videos. Reasonable fitness suffices; no prior diving experience needed.
