Dive Travelsub S.L.U.

Dive Travelsub sits right in Puerto Colon harbor in Costa Adeje, less than 100 metres from the boats — and there's no lugging tanks around, since you board directly from the harbor with all the heavy lifting done for you. As a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort with 8 PADI instructors and a team speaking English, Spanish, Dutch, French, Italian, Czech and Russian, the school keeps things organised, relaxed and social.

Courses and diving

Courses run for every level, from PADI Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water Diver up to instructor upgrades and renewals, with Nitrox available. There are three trips daily at 8.30, 11.30 and 14.30, plus a 2 Dives Package from USD 120. Nearby La Pinta Beach makes a calm, year-round training spot where rays and even angel sharks turn up.

From the south of Tenerife, speedboats reach "The Best of the South" — sites like Palm Mar Wall, El Condesito Wreck and Cueva de las Morenas. The motto here is simple: "Watch, but do not touch."
