Transport and directions

The activity begins in Puerto Colón, one of the most accessible ports in the south of Tenerife:

  • On your own: You can arrive directly by car or taxi to the Puerto Colón dock itself.
  • Transfer from the North: If you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz and do not have a car, add our Direct bus to Siam Park to your booking. From the bus stop, Puerto Colón is just a pleasant and short 10–15 minute walk towards the coast.

  • Swimsuit and towel.
  • Flip-flops or comfortable footwear.

  • Touching, disturbing, feeding, or extracting any type of marine flora or fauna.
  • Doing the activity under the influence of alcohol or strong medication.

Important Details:

Remember the golden rule of diving: for strict health and decompression reasons, you must plan your dive leaving a margin of at least 24 hours before catching your flight back home or visiting the Teide National Park.

Furthermore, if the sea conditions (waves or currents) do not guarantee a 100% safe and enjoyable dive, the activity will be rescheduled or canceled with a full refund.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous experience to be able to dive?

Not at all! If it is your first time, you should choose the “Try Dive” option, specially designed for beginners with no experience. If you already have a license (PADI, SSI, etc.), you can book the “Dive for Certified Divers”.

What is the minimum age to participate?

The minimum age for any of the diving activities is 10 years old. Minors must always be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Can I fly on a plane after the activity?

For strict health reasons and to prevent decompression sickness, it is mandatory to wait a minimum of 24 hours after diving before catching a flight or going up to high altitudes (like visiting Mount Teide).

What equipment does the activity include?

The Try Dive includes all the necessary full equipment. For the Certified Dive, the tank and weights are included; you can bring the rest of the heavy equipment yourself or rent it at the center on the day of the activity.

Where do the boats depart from?

All our diving trips depart from Puerto Colón, in Costa Adeje. The sea in this southern area of the island usually offers perfect conditions of visibility and calm almost all year round.
