About this tour
Descend into Tenerife's nocturnal marine world on a three-hour guided night dive. As darkness falls, the ocean transforms—creatures emerge, colours shift, and the reef comes alive in unexpected ways. You'll need PADI certification and moderate fitness to join an instructor underwater, where bioluminescence and night-active species reveal a side of the dive site most visitors miss. All gear and insurance provided.

What to expect
You'll meet the dive team near sunset and review the night dive plan before entering the water. Visibility and marine activity shift dramatically once daylight goes—expect to encounter creatures rarely seen on daytime dives, plus the disorientation of diving in darkness (manageable with proper torches and your instructor's guidance). The rhythm is slower and more deliberate than day dives; you'll spend time observing rather than covering distance. The dive lasts around 40–50 minutes underwater, with briefing and preparation taking the rest of the three-hour session.
Good to know
You must hold valid PADI certification. Medical conditions including spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health make this unsuitable. The start time shifts based on sunset—you'll confirm this beforehand. Photos aren't included in the package. Public transport links the departure point.
