Activity description

Have you always wondered what it’s like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, PADI Discover Scuba Diving is for you.

Playa de las Americas is a coastal area located in the southwest of Tenerife. It is known for being one of the most popular surfing.

If you would like to try diving without taking the full course to obtain a license then you can take part in the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program. During this program a PADI Divemaster or Instructor will talk you through the basic principles of scuba diving and explain a few safety guidelines. They will also teach you a few basic exercises which you will practice in the water so that you are comfortable and confident using the equipment.

The diving centre offers two different options for this program:
- You can make a single dive from the local beach, or
- You can make your initial training in the swimming pool and then go out on a boat for a dive at one of the fabulous diving sites.

In either case, you will be surrounded by the beautiful Playa de las Americas in the sunny coast of Tenerife.

With this option you will be provided with a detailed explanation from one of our experienced and qualified diving instructors, outlining all of the basic safety aspects which you will need to consider to enjoy your dive. You will be given a brief introduction to the equipment and your guide will describe what you will need to do underwater.

Your instructor will escort you on a tour around the breakwater which serves as an artificial reef and is home to a wide variety of local marine species. You will dive to a maximum depth of 6 meters and you will be underwater for approximately 40 minutes.

Following the dive we will change out of our wetsuits and return to the dive center for a shower.

From start to finish this experience will take approximately 3 hours.

Course of events

You will be taken the local beach, Playa Las Vistas, where you will enter the water and practice a few basic diving skills so that you become comfortable and familiar with the equipment. You will learn:

- How to clear water from your mask
- How to clear water from your regulator
- How to recover your regulator in the highly unlikely event that you should drop it from your mouth
- After practicing these exercises whilst still in water, you will drop beneath the waves and practice these same skills again underwater. Once this is done you are ready to go!

After this initial training session, you will be taken to the beach where you will board the boat. Then, you will go to one of the beautiful nearby dive sites where your instructor will escort you on a guided tour of the local environment to a maximum depth of 12 meters. This dive will last approximately 40 minutes.
