Incredible instructors and a well organised team, who made this intense course an enjoyable experience for us and helped us gain skills for life! An absolute recommendation for everyone looking for a diving school!!

Top diving centers
I have been diving with Medanodive for several years now and can recommend this dive center to everyone! The Dive Instructors are very open and welcoming and ensure a great diving experience and respond very well to different wishes/dive levels. I have already done a few courses here and have always felt very safe, while at the same time teaching the course content very well. The dive sites are also varied and like me highly recommended.
Operator response

We hope to see you again soon.

Amazing experience diving with Chris & Jon
Myself & my wife went for open water course
Chris is a very patient, friendly instructor with a good sense of humour (very helpful when you try to play e-learning with real instruments on your 1st 2 days).
Would highly recommend this place

Excellent Courses - PADI Open Water and Advanced
Had such a fantastic week at Medano Dive with Chris and Isma completing my PADI Openwater and Advanced course. Chris was really patient and professional and once we'd got the required skills out of the way, really went above and beyond to get us to the most fun and interesting dive sites around the island as well as helping us to tick off all the different adventure dives required to complete my advanced course. The team were really friendly, happy to have a drink after to discuss the diving, and were also a great help with tips and in suggesting local bars/restaurants/things to do in the area.
I really can't recommend Medano Dive more highly and also El Medano as a small town to visit, we had the best time!
Simon and Emily

Great dive in Abades
We enjoyed 2 great dives in Abades. The area on the beach offers little visibility due to the whirled sand but if you are further out, the view is wonderful. We loved the cave with an incredible number of trumpet fish.
On our dive unfortunately no rays were visible but a nice octopus.
We would love to come back and look forward to the very nice guide.
Operator response
Thanks for the comments.
Its appreciated and glad you enjoyed yourself with us.

I would recommend this dive center a thousand times.
