Accommodation

Tenerife is one of seven volcanic islands called the Canaries off the coast of
Northwest |
|
Remember Tenerife is a mountain 12,000 feet high. Please take this into account if you are diving in the morning and touring in the afternoon. For the non-diver - The quad bikes are very highly recommended ! May is the season for maintenance of the tourist facilities such as the Octopus Water park and the cable car lift to the top of the mountain. The resort of Playa de Las Americas is very tourist orientated. |

| I would like to strongly recommend Atlantic Divers Tenerife, www.atlantic-divers.com for their outstanding customer service. Mick is a delightful person from Liverpool, and helped my partner, Bridget, in getting her to a stage where she would be comfortable in the water. She had met several instructors before, but had never been treated with so much respect for her own fear of the deep. She will always be grateful to Mick for helping her overcome this, as will I. john.j.murphy@tellabs.com and bmcmahon26@eircom.net | |

Hi, My name is Derrol
Hopewell my daughters and I have been diving with Golf Divers of
Santa Barbara, Golf Del Sur, Tenerife, every year since 1999. My
favourite site is the ray dive which has a resident sting ray
with a wing span of two meters (a big fish) it is a boat dive
from Las Galletas approx 10 kilometres south west of Riena Sofia
airport. For more about Golf Divers see my web page http://www.dphuk.com/scuba.html |
Africa.
There are few wrecks around due to the volcanic slopes - whatever hits the islands slip down to 1000m+.
The main diving attraction are the volcanic rock structures with countless fissures and nooks and
crannies to allow fish and invertebrates to hide. Some caves. All the dive sites are close to shore,
with some surge. May 1998 revealed thousands of black Urchins.
