🌙 Night diving in Tenerife: what you need to know
Have you ever wondered what the ocean looks like after sunset? Imagine descending into the dark blue depths, your torch cutting through the blackness, revealing octopuses hunting, moray eels peeking out from their crevices, and rays gliding silently beneath you 🌊✨. This is the magic of night diving in Tenerife—a completely different world just waiting to be explored.
🌌 What makes night diving so special?
Night diving transforms even the most familiar dive sites into mysterious, new landscapes. At night, the marine life changes: octopuses, cuttlefish, lobsters, and other nocturnal creatures come out, offering divers unique encounters 🦑. The limited visibility focuses your attention on what your torch illuminates, creating an intimate connection with your surroundings.
In Tenerife, places like Radazul are perfect for night dives thanks to their calm, sheltered waters and abundant marine life. To explore more about the best locations, check out our page on diving areas in Tenerife.
🔦 Essential gear for a night dive
Having the right equipment is key to enjoying a safe and unforgettable night dive:
👉 Primary and backup torches – A spare light is vital in case your main one fails.
👉 Signaling devices – Such as glow sticks or strobes so your buddy can always locate you.
👉 Proper exposure suit – Night dives may last longer, so make sure you’re comfortable.
Need equipment? We offer top-quality gear through our rental and refills service.
🐠 What marine life can you see at night?
During a night dive in Tenerife, you’ll encounter creatures you rarely see during the day. Moray eels venture further out, octopuses become active hunters, and stingrays cruise the sandy bottom. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a turtle 🐢 on its nighttime journey.
Learn more about local marine species in our post what marine animals can you see scuba diving in Tenerife.
⚠️ Key safety tips for night diving
Night diving requires extra attention to safety:
Plan your dive thoroughly, ideally exploring the site during the day first.
Stay close to your buddy and communicate using light signals.
Keep track of your orientation with natural references or a line.
Our PADI Specialty Courses include the Night Diver course, where you’ll learn all the necessary skills for safe and enjoyable night dives.

🔍 Day vs night diving: how do they compare?
While day dives let you take in the full scenery and vibrant colors of Tenerife’s reefs, night dives create a more personal, focused adventure. Each beam of your torch becomes a spotlight on marine life, and the ocean feels like your own private stage 🌊💫.
If you’ve completed your PADI Advanced Open Water course, night diving is the perfect way to deepen your skills.
🎓 Recommended training before your first night dive
We strongly recommend the PADI Night Diver Specialty, part of our PADI Specialty Courses. This course teaches:
How to plan and execute night dives safely
Effective use of underwater lighting

If it’s been a while since your last dive, refresh your skills with our ReActivate program.
