Nice 1st dive, but had to miss the second because of misleading description
I dived with them on my vacation in Tenerife. I registered for 2 dives, and the description said that the whole thing would take 5 hours, which worked for me.
The 1st dive was nice (even though I ran out of the air faster than I usually do), but afterwards it suddenly turned out that we are going to some café in between, so we would be done almost 2 hours later than was announced.
I had to pass on the 2nd dive, and also take a taxi to get back to the office, where I left my car.
Operator response
Thanks for your feedback, and I’m glad you enjoyed the first dive.
Our two-dive trips are structured with a mandatory surface interval between dives, typically around 60–90 minutes, in line with safe diving practices. This time is usually spent at the port, where there are cafés, toilets, and a comfortable place to relax before the second dive. This is also outlined during the briefing at the start of the day.
As with all boat diving, the overall duration can vary slightly depending on conditions such as sea state, boat transit time, and the dive profile itself. On the day, the wind meant the boat was travelling a little slower than usual, which can extend the schedule slightly.
Regarding returning after the first dive, as the rest of the group and staff continue with the second dive, it isn’t possible to provide individual returns to the dive centre mid-trip.
In future we’ll make sure the full flow of the day is fully understood in advance.
Thanks again for your feedback.

Amazing first dive with Florian
We did the discover scuba diving course with Florian and it was absolutely amazing!!! He made us feel so safe and comfortable in the water. He was so kind and funny. He introduced us to scuba in a pool and taught us to empty water from our mask, and locate our regulator. Then we did a dive in the sea. We saw loads of amazing animals including two octopuses, starfish and sea urchins! It was so fun and beautiful. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Izzy (11) and Freya (10).

Glad you guys enjoyed it! It was a pleasure having you complete the discovery scuba experience with us

Unforgettable experience!
I tried scuba diving for the first time at Paradise Divers, after they were recommended by my friend who is an experienced diver. The Discover Scuba diving program is fantastic. After all required safety modules and practice in the pool we went diving with Dan, Flo, Sho and a few other beginners! Priority is on safety, team is professional and fun.
I will definitely be back for more next time I am in Tenerife!
Operator response
Thank you Roza, We are glad you enjoyed it! See you next time for some more diving!

First Scuba Dive - Excellent
Was my first Scuba Discovery Dive. Flo as an instructor was excellent and very competent. The entire Paradise Divers team I got to know left a very pleasant impression on me. The dive motivated me to do the OWD.
100% recommendation.
Greetings Tom
Operator response
Thank you Tom for your review and glad you enjoyed it and looking to do your open water course! See you soon!

Best place in Tenerife to dive
By far one of the best places in the world to learn and/or enjoy your diving experience.
This was my first diving center, where I certified as OWD, and today I’ve brought my family to their Discovery Scuba Dive.
Dan and their team will lead you to an enjoyable and safe dive if you let them.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled you chose us for both your dives and to introduce your family. Looking forward to more dives together

Amazing!
My Son and I have just completed our first scuba diving course with Paradise Divers and the whole experience has been amazing from start to finish. The customer service from Sho was excellent and it was very straightforward to book and sort everything. The instructors were fantastic and extremely patient and professional. Leon helped calm my nerves on my first sea dive and I don’t think I could have completed the course without him. Flo helped my Son to complete his final dives and I trusted him 100%. All of the staff are lovely and we really enjoyed the whole experience, we would definitely recommend this centre and hope to return again in the future. Thank you to all of the instructors and it was a pleasure to meet you all!
Operator response
Thanks for the great review! I’m thrilled you and your son had an amazing time with us. It’s awesome to hear that our team made the experience memorable. Hope to see you both again soon!

Amazing instructors and the best experience!
One of the best things we’ve ever experienced without a doubt! 🤿🌊🐢
Me, Ethan, Jonny & Francesca dived for 55mins in the Abades Reef 🪸
There were so many amazing fish to see, a school of barracuda casually swam by and just before we ascended we came across this female Green Sea Turtle having her lunch on some sea grass 😍
Wonder where the next dive will be 🌎
Thank you guys x
