🧭 Best Time to Dive in Tenerife: Weather, Visibility and Marine Life
When is the best time to go diving in Tenerife? 🌞
Tenerife is a year-round diving destination thanks to its mild climate, volcanic seabeds and rich biodiversity. However, if you’re wondering when’s the ideal time to dive here, there are certain months that offer better conditions in terms of visibility, water temperature and marine life sightings 🐢.
Whether you’re planning your first dive or a full diving holiday, this guide will help you choose the perfect season to dive in Tenerife. 👉 And if you’re looking for diving experiences, guided dives or PADI courses, we’ve got you covered!
🌊 Why does the season matter for diving in Tenerife?
Although you can dive all year round, certain seasons in Tenerife offer clearer waters, warmer seas and more marine life. Here’s why:
Visibility can vary depending on currents and plankton blooms.
Water temperature changes between 18°C in winter and 24°C in summer.
Wildlife sightings (like angel sharks, turtles or rays) are more common in some months.
Diving conditions (waves, wind, access) vary slightly depending on the season and location.
Understanding these seasonal differences helps you choose the best time depending on what you’re hoping to see or experience 🐠.
