What Is Tenerife Scuba (tenerifescuba.com) and What Does It Offer?

Tenerife Scuba is a PADI dive centre in Las Galletas, on the southern tip of Tenerife, established in 2002. It offers try-dives for beginners, PADI certification and speciality courses, and guided dives for already-certified divers. It positions itself as family-friendly, with a relaxed pace and a welcome for divers trained by any agency. It suits holidaymakers staying between Tenerife South Airport, Los Cristianos and Las Américas who want to dive without a rushed schedule.

Where it is and who it suits

The centre is based in what the site describes as a quiet fishing town, roughly midway between the airport and the main southern resorts. That makes it practical if you are staying in the south of the island.

According to the site, the operation is:

• PADI-awarded and run by PADI-certified instructors
• Family-friendly, with divers from all training agencies welcome
• Relaxed in pace — the site's own framing is "You're on holiday!"
• Fully legal with a 100% safety record, as stated on the page

If you are travelling with children, mixed-ability family members, or certified divers who trained elsewhere, those points are the ones worth checking against your group before booking.

Diving prices for certified divers

Prices below are for certified scuba divers. Kit hire is an additional €5 per dive or €10 per day, and boat diving adds €12 per dive.

The packs lower the per-dive cost noticeably — the 10-dive pack works out at €41 per dive before kit hire and any boat supplement, against €90 for a single dive. If you plan several days of diving, a pack is the cheaper route; if you only want one or two dives, pay per dive.

PADI courses

All equipment is included in the course prices listed.

Discover Diving is the low-commitment option if you have never breathed underwater and are unsure whether you will enjoy it. Open Water is the route to becoming a certified diver in your own right; Advanced Open Water is for certified divers who want to go further.

PADI speciality courses

Nitrox is the cheapest add-on and requires no dives, which makes it a sensible pairing with a dive pack if you are already certified. Wreck and Deep are the two most expensive specialities at the same price, so choose between them on interest rather than cost.

Booking and contact

The site lists three ways to reach the centre:

• Phone: +34 639 420 037
• WhatsApp: same number
• Email: [email protected]

The page also invites you to contact them to book a dive, and points to TripAdvisor customer comments as a reference. The site does not state online payment options or deposit terms, so confirm booking and payment arrangements directly when you get in touch.

What to bring

The site's own list for a diving day: dry clothes, a swimming costume, a towel, and a few euros for lunch. Everything else for courses is included in the price; certified divers should factor in the kit hire charge if they are not bringing their own.

How to decide if it fits your trip

• Never dived before: start with Discover Diving at €125 rather than committing to Open Water.
• Want certification: Open Water at €495 includes equipment; plan for the time a full course takes, not a single session.
• Already certified and diving several days: a 4-, 6- or 10-dive pack plus kit hire is the economical combination.
• Certified through another agency: the site explicitly welcomes divers from all training agencies, so you do not need PADI certification to join guided dives.
• Diving with family of mixed experience: the family-friendly positioning and relaxed pace are the relevant claims to verify with the centre for your group's ages and abilities.
