I had an amazing first time dive with Katy. I felt really safe with her, while also having the space to have fun. Her explanations of the kit and procedures were great and then she showed me rays, turtles etc out on the dives. Such a lovely experience, thanks Katy and team.

Fantastic diving school. Really friendly and knowledgeable instructors. I was quite nervous before my dives as it has been a while since I tried it. On the first day I was with Kate and she was fantastic at making sure I felt safe, calm and in control, whilst also making the whole morning fun and informative.On my second day I did my Deep Dive specialty with Mero. His knowledge of the local area and marine life was awesome and I again felt very safe and well looked after.Overall the experience with DPM has really built my confidence and I hope to be back again in the future. 100% would recommend!

I did a "try dive" with the team here. The instructor was Kate and she was brilliant. Clear explanations and expectations. The team is very knowledgeable about the local area and took us to two dive sites. Everything was taken care of by the team and all we had to do was dive and enjoy the wildlife. Would dive again

          • Montaña Amarilla: This dive site is located opposite Costa del Silencio. The depth varies between 15 and 25 metres, so it is ideal for Open Water and Advanced divers.

          • El Bufadero: This dive site located in Los Cristianos stands out for the possibility to dive with sea turtles.

          • El Meridian (Wreck): The wreck El Meridian was a German warship used during the Second World War as an auxiliary ship, dedicated to maritime surveillance and mine sweeping.
            During this dive we can also enjoy sightings of stingrays, moray eels, grouper, abbots, or even dolphins and sharks!
          • Wreck El Condesito: El Condesito was a ship carrying cement from Gran Canaria, sunk in an accident in 1973 in the area of Punta Rasca, after hitting the rocks during a storm.

          There are many other dive sites in the South of Tenerife, if you want to explore them please do not hesitate to contact us!

          Tenerife North Dive Sites

          The northern area of Tenerife has dive sites with a higher level of difficulty, so they tend to be suitable for experienced divers.

          These are some of the most outstanding dive sites in the Northern zone of Tenerife.

          • Garachico Tunnel: The Garachico Tunnel was formed by the ancient volcanic activity of the island. The tunnel starts at a depth of 12 metres and descends to a depth of 20 metres.
            From there the dive continues to 20 metres deep, where you can enjoy an abundance of marine life, such as shrimps, Canarian lobsters, nidubranchs and much more!
          • Wreck of Tabaiba: one of the most emblematic wreck dives in Tenerife. It is located on the northeast coast of the island, in front of Tabaiba. The ship was sunk in 2006 with the intention of creating an artificial reef.
            The maximum depth is 32 meters, and it is a very large ship so it is possible to penetrate it, as long as you are certified! As for the marine life, you will be able to spot octopus, moray eels, cuttlefish and groupers among many other species.
          • La Catedral: The location of this dive site is close to Puerto de la Cruz, so the boat trip takes place from there. This dive has incredible rock formations, starting at 6 metres and reaching a depth of 40 metres.
            The light enters through holes in the rocks, creating a spectacular atmosphere and scenes. Amongst the species that you can enjoy on this dive are red gorgonians, groupers, sardines, moray eels and bream. This dive is recommended for advanced divers.

          There are other very interesting dive sites in the northern area, most of them for experienced divers.
