Las Vistas Beach Dive Site

Posted on by

Tenerife Diving Site

Las Vistas is a beach very close to Los Cristianos Beach, only about 150 meters separate them and you can walk from one to the other along the promenade.

Las Vistas Dive Site, protected from currents and with a sandy bottom,  is the ideal place for baptisms, refreshers and night dives. Max depth is 12m.

Convenient access, the dive is at the foot of the breakwater located on the left of the Las Vistas beach. A very easy dive with varied fauna which continues to surprise both for it’s colour and variety of fish.

Beginners will usually feel more comfortable using dive sites that can be accessed from the beach. If you are on holiday with friends and family with non-divers, beach dives works best.

Diving in Abades Bay

Abades, locally called Los Abriguitos, in the town of Porís de Abona, in Arico.

Abades is arguably the best dive site for all diving levels with a max depth of 16 meter. This dive site is very versatile, being suitable for beginners, snorkellers and advanced divers alike. The site is abundant with aquatic life such as breams, wrasse, razorfish, cuttlefish, starfish, and cleaner shrimp. If you are looking for peace this beach is the ideal place to spend a quiet day.

El Peñon, Tabaiba Dive Site

Tenerife Diving Site

The El Peñon Wreck at Tabaiba

Tabaiba is a dive site with a huge rock formation along the coast. The site is popular for diving and snorkelling, and it also has an underwater cave.

More advanced divers will enjoy this wreck dive as the wreck sits between 20m down to 32m. An artificial reef, it’s an incredible example of how the aquatic eco-system can be protected by human intervention. Since it sank, off El Penon, the diversity at this wreck has increased immensely.

Beginners will usually feel more comfortable using dive sites that can be accessed from the beach. If you are on holiday with friends and family with non-divers, beach dives work best.

Las Eras Dive Site

Posted on by

Tenerife Diving Site

Most of the dive sites in Tenerife are a mixture of unusual lava forms forming rock labyrinths and a wealth of Atlantic flora and fauna. Among these places stand out, among others, the Underwater Nature Reserve of Montana Amarilla, Las Eras and Abades and El Balito.

In Arico, one of our favourite dive sites, Las Eras. Las Eras is a small, quiet village on the south coast of Tenerife.

This dive site give us plenty of entertainment with swim-throughs, overhangs and the light entering from the cracks in the rock makes it even more beautiful .

If anyone is thinking about learning to dive, have some fun or even experienced divers looking to enjoy a another dive! I strongly recommend Zeke at Granadilla Diving and his team. I was over last year for a few days and just had to come back! This time i done my Rescue Course, EFR, Deep Course and the courses couldn’t have been any better. I had some the best experiences of my life in Tenerife and they simply wouldn’t be the same if had of gone diving with anyone else on the island and that was proven when i went with another dive centre. Want to say a big thank to yourself, Clare and Wata for an unforgettable week of diving and good banter! I can’t to my next trip over 🙌 Strongly Recommend! You won’t want to dive with anyone else apart from Zeke and trust me, you’ll be back again 👌

PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD)

Not everyone has the time to book a course without first getting a taste of scuba diving. We offer try diving programs for non-certified divers. You will be under our guidance and follow the highest of safety standards.

The difference between these experience programs and a PADI Diving Course is that, after completion, you do not receive a diving license, but you can repeat the programs as many times you want, and will always be accompanied by a PADI Professional. The advantage is that you need only one day for this program and, your experience may also give you a credit towards the PADI Open Water Diver.

Here at Granadilla Diving we guarantee to provide you with an exclusive introductory training session for your PADI Discover Scuba Dive. Whether it’s you taking the plunge on your own or you’re wanting to share the experience with your buddies, rest assured, you are going to be the only students in the water with our instructors receiving their undivided attention as we begin your scuba adventure.
