Great diving school with experienced guides
Excellent diving course – highly professional and reliable! I was able to dive with all three experts (Dennis, Cedric, and Sergio) and had very positive experiences with all of them. I learned a lot and explored Tenerife's beautiful underwater world at the beach of Radazul.
Besides octopuses, seahorses, and barracudas, we were even able to see a sea turtle! 🐢🤿
I can highly recommend Scubanana and would dive there again anytime!

It was a wonderful experience for taking my first steps into the underwater world.
I particularly appreciated doing the course at two different locations.

I did my scuba diving baptism with this center, and the experience was so good that I decided to continue my training and obtain my Open Water Diver certification here. From the first day, I felt very comfortable and supported by the entire team. The instructors are great professionals, patient and approachable, instilling confidence and safety in every dive.
Both the theoretical and practical explanations were very well organized, and the equipment was always in excellent condition. Thanks to them, I discovered a hobby that I am passionate about and greatly enjoyed the entire learning process.
I recommend this center without any doubt, both for those who want to try diving for the first time and for those looking to train and continue growing as divers. Thank you very much to the entire team for this fantastic experience!

The best place for Beginner Scuba Divers!
We had a wonderful time with Scubanana! I went into my OW course with no scuba experience whatsoever and I felt super safe everytime we went into the water. Denise, Cedric and Ryan were all so kind and friendly, especially when I struggled to complete my mask off skills. I was encouraged to get out of my comfort zone but I never felt pressured to do anything I wasn't ready for. They really took the time out for me to overcome my mental blocks and I flourished! I am proud to say I now have the scuba bug and want to do more dives 😁😁
Cedric and Ryan are very chill and knowledgable. You'll have a lot of fun learning and being in the water and you'll forget you're doing an open water course! They even brought GoPros into the water so we could take home memories of our underwater adventures. My partner says the underwater scooters and night dives are a must if you need to do specialty dives for your AOW!
Denise was so lovely, always greeting us warmly when we arrived everyday and supported me when I got overwhelmed. I greatly appreciated her kindness!
Not to mention that the marine life in Radazul is fantastic! You'll fill your fishy check list no problem! Pufferfish, Ornate wrasse, Octopus, Parrotfish... the list honestly goes on!
If you're a beginner and looking to complete your Discovery Scuba Diving course or OW, this is the place to go! Thank you everyone! 🤗🤗🤗🤿🍌🐡🐠🐟

Fully recommended!
I had an amazing experience doing the Open Water diving course here in Tenerife, and much of it I owe to instructor Sergio and his entire team. From the first moment the treatment was fantastic, always attentive, close and making me feel comfortable at all times.
Sergio proved to be an excellent instructor: he explained each part of the course clearly and in detail, with a lot of patience and professionalism. Thanks to his teaching, everything became very easy to understand and learn, even for someone starting from scratch.
In addition to learning a lot, I had a really good time throughout the course. The atmosphere was very pleasant and you can see that the whole team enjoys what they do and cares about the students having an unforgettable experience.
I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to start diving or live a unique experience in Tenerife. As soon as I get the chance, I'll be back.

Super
Like a small diver family – my open water couldn’t have been better!
I did my Open Water Diver at Scubanana – and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better place to do it. From the first moment I felt like I was not just a customer, but part of a small diver family.
The whole team is incredibly warm, patient and attentive. Especially as a beginner you have respect for the first real dive – but every uncertainty was taken seriously, everything was explained calmly and understandably, and I felt safe at all times. You immediately notice that the lessons are taught here with passion and genuine enthusiasm.
The theory was conveyed loosely and understandably, without pressure, but with a lot of professionalism. Underwater it was just magical: great visibility, impressive underwater landscapes and so many fish – I had goose bumps with happiness several times!
What makes Scubanana special to me is the atmosphere: lots of laughter, honest interest in people and a relaxed, family atmosphere. Sitting together after the dives, chatting and sharing the experiences was almost as nice as the diving itself.
I am incredibly grateful for this experience. A small dream has become a real passion – and I already know that I will be back.
Thanks for everything! 💙🌊🤿

Open Water Diver certification: 10/10
I did the Open Water Diver course in Scubanana and it was a success. The staff is very professional and the treatment, wonderful. I loved its approach of combining learning with enjoyment, and also the marine fauna that can be observed in the area is very interesting. A highly recommended experience for diving lovers.

From uncertainty to surety - submerged bubbling joy
The course was a gift from my wife, I was a tiny bit tense regarding the use of snorkel (because of some childhood water trauma), and knowing I would have to take off the mask submerged, switching air, and just inhaling air under water!? Wtf! Not natural. But hey, phenomenal instructors! I was guided very well and taken care of supremely well. Did the exercises once, sometimes several until I got them satisfactorily. Instructors Cedric and Sergio were excellent. Calm and collected at all times. The atmosphere in the shop with the other instructors was very nice, and delightful Denise behind the counter was the smiling boss concierge.
I was surprised to see so much sea life, I witnessed trumpet fish, cuttle fish, star fish and even an octopus with a basketball size head! Awesome. I discovered under water joy! Thanks so much, folks!
