Where Is Tenerife Scuba Located and What Should Divers Bring?

Tenerife Scuba is based in Las Galletas, a quiet fishing town on the very southern tip of Tenerife, roughly midway between Tenerife South Airport, Los Cristianos and Las Americas. If you are diving with them, bring dry clothes, a swimming costume, a towel and a few euros for lunch. You can reach the team by phone or WhatsApp on +34.639420037 or by email at [email protected] to ask questions or book.

Location and how it fits your trip

The centre has operated since 2002 and describes itself as a PADI-awarded establishment that welcomes divers from all training agencies and is family friendly. The Las Galletas base matters most when you are planning transfers:

• From the airport: the town sits between Tenerife South Airport and the Los Cristianos / Las Americas resort strip, so it is a practical stop on arrival or departure day rather than a detour to the north of the island.
• From the main resorts: Los Cristianos and Las Americas are the nearest large resort areas named on the site, making Las Galletas reachable for a day of diving without moving accommodation.
• Around the centre: the site describes a relaxed pace and a "you're on holiday" approach, which suits families and mixed-ability groups rather than a tightly scheduled dive marathon.

The site does not publish exact transfer times, pickup arrangements or parking details, so confirm those directly when you book.

What to bring

The packing list on the site is short and specific:

All equipment is included in the PADI course prices, and kit hire for certified divers is charged separately at €5 per dive or €10 per day. That means you do not need to pack your own gear for a course, but certified divers paying for dives should budget for hire unless they bring their own.

Booking and questions before you travel

The site directs enquiries to three channels: phone, WhatsApp on the same number, and email at [email protected]. Use these to confirm the things the website leaves open — meeting times, whether transport from your resort is possible, and what your specific course day will look like.

If you are still deciding what to book, the published prices give a starting point:

• Never dived before: Discover Diving at €125, which starts in a pool and then moves to the sea.
• Want certification: Open Water at €495; Advanced Open Water at €440.
• Already certified: single dive €90, with packs from a 2-dive pack at €120 up to a 10-dive pack at €410, plus a €12 per-dive boat supplement.
• Specialities: Wreck Diver and Deep Diver at €320 each (4 dives), Navigation at €260 (3 dives), Nitrox/Enriched Air at €100, Peak Performance Buoyancy at €200 (2 dives).

Common sticking points

• Don't assume lunch is covered. The site asks you to bring a few euros for lunch, so plan for a local meal rather than an included one.
• Don't assume kit hire is free for certified divers. It is included in courses but charged per dive or per day for recreational diving.
• Don't guess at boat costs. The €12 per-dive boat supplement applies on top of dive prices, so factor it into pack comparisons.
• Ask about your agency's paperwork. The centre welcomes divers from all training agencies, but bring proof of certification so your level can be verified on arrival.
