Could not be possible without them, well pre dive briefed , no one hurries at diving spot, if you are panicked, no worries Guille will help you out to accommodate and give sufficient time to adjust there with oxygen mask. Toby is amazing with his calmness , helped to take out all fear and make the dive experience surreal. Really well trained/experienced people with abundance of passions .”

5.Tenerife First Time Scuba Dive – Turtle Habitat, Small Groups

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 456 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90

A beginner-friendly Tenerife water session with small groups, full gear, a short scuba experience, plus 30 minutes snorkeling for possible turtles.

“Absolutely phenomenal! Our booking had 6 people, which equalled out to 2 people to an instructor. Each instructor was so accommodating to the different languages, needs and skill sets of each individual, in a friendly and approachable manner. They take photos under the water using their cameras but available to buy then after you’ve viewed them (after you’re back at the meeting point). Overall can’t fault this experience at all. Thank you so much for having us and showing us a good experience! Lucy and Kate”

6.Try Scuba Diving for Beginners

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 403 reviews · 3 hours · from $94

Beginner scuba try-out in Gran Canaria with hotel pickup, small groups of 8, PADI-certified guidance, and clear-water marine life.

“It was with some reservation that we booked this trial dive. But our guide made sure that everyone was fully prepared for it. It was quite fun, but also a bit hard to get used to breathing only through the mouth. There's a lot to keep track of: your orientation in the water, not getting too far from the guide, equalizing the pressure in your ears, and emptying your mask for water. The hour we spent in the water passed quickly.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 254 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $108

Beginner scuba try-out in Gran Canaria with small groups, all gear included, shallow-water skills, then a guided reef swim.

“This is supposed to be for beginners but it's more for people with some experience. The timing is advertised as 9 to 12 but we didn't leave until 9.30am, were told in the car that there is another group at 11.30am and that we will need to find our way back or wait 3 hours for a lift back to the diving centre. The whole thing was finished by 11.15am and we were sort of dismissed as they had to prepare for the next group who were already waiting at the beach. I have never done diving before and was hoping for the "beginners" experience but I really felt hurried…”
