⭐ I want to start scuba diving… but where do I begin?

Most beginners have the same questions: Is it safe? Do I need to be in good shape? How much does it cost? Will it hurt my ears? Will I like it? These are totally normal doubts—and the key is having clear information and professional guidance ✅.

In Tenerife, scuba diving is accessible to almost everyone. Thanks to its calm waters, great visibility, and year-round stable weather, it’s one of the best places to get started. Locations like Radazul, Las Eras, Abades, or El Porís are perfect for first-timers because of their easy access and safe conditions.

No previous experience needed! You can start with a Try Dive to see if you enjoy it, always under the guidance of a certified instructor 🚪

✨ Tips for your first time underwater

✔️ 1. Choose a trusted dive center. Make sure you’re diving with certified professionals and quality equipment. At Deep Ocean Diver we have qualified instructors with years of experience ✈️👨‍✈️

✔️ 2. Start with a Try Dive or Beginner Course. Choose a Try Dive, or go straight for the Scuba Diver Course or Open Water Diver Course to get an official PADI certification

✔️ 3. Bring swimwear, a towel, and lots of curiosity. We provide all the gear: wetsuit, BCD, regulator, tank, fins, and mask. You can check out our rental and refill service 🚒

✔️ 4. Listen to your instructor. Your safety is our priority. On your first dive, you’ll always be supervised and supported by a professional ✅

✔️ 5. Enjoy the moment. Diving is a unique feeling: weightless, silent, relaxing, and thrilling. No rush—live every second underwater! 🌊💙
