FAQ
What languages does Dive Center Tenerife work in?
Spanish, English, French, German and Luxembourgish. That last one is unusual and reflects who dives here; for instruction specifically, a shared first language is worth more than it sounds, because the briefing is about what to do when something goes wrong.
Where is the centre based?
Las Galletas, the harbour east of Los Cristianos. It is a working fishing port rather than a resort marina, which makes it quieter than the dive bases further west along the coast.
What will I see diving there?
Turtles, rays and occasionally sharks along this stretch, with conditions and sightings changing week to week. The centre posts what it finds, which is the most reliable way to know what is about before booking.
Can beginners and certified divers go out together?
They go on the same schedule rather than separate days, which suits a group where not everyone dives. Courses and fun dives still run separately in the water.
Does Dive Center Tenerife run PADI courses?
Yes, PADI courses alongside fun dives for the already certified. Which course to take depends on where you are in the ladder, and it is worth asking before booking rather than after.
How do I book a dive at Las Galletas?
Directly with the centre. Las Galletas is about twenty minutes from the southern airport and a short drive from the main resorts, so it is straightforward to reach with a hire car.
