Practical information

Discover scuba diving in Tenerife from the beach at Los Cristianos, in the Bahía de las Rayas (Stingray Bay).

You can choose between 3 different experiences:

  • ‘Try dive from the beach 20 min’ - a classic 20-minute first dive experience to a maximum depth of 6 metres;
  • ‘Try dive from the beach 40 min’ - a slightly longer 40-minute first dive experience to a maximum depth of 6 metres;
  • ‘DSD (with elearning)' - short ‘Discover Scuba Diving’ course including a short online theory course that will be sent to you once your booking has been made, a 40-minute first dive to a depth of 6 metres and a temporary certification that will allow you to make your next dive to a depth of 12 metres (if you wish to make this second dive just after your DSD with the Diving Atlantis centre, you can directly book the ‘2nd try dive/DSD on the same day’ in addition).
