Paradise Divers - Canary Islands
The team at Paradise Divers in the Canary Islands are the kind of people you want to spend your dive holiday with. We've always found their enthusiasm for Tenerife's diving infectious, and frankly, it's hard not to get caught up in it. They’re a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, which means they're serious about training, from your first open water course right through to instructor development. What we really appreciate about Paradise Divers, though, is their local knowledge. They know the volcanic reefs and the occasional wreck like the back of their hand. We’ve had some cracking dives with them, spotting stingrays tucked into the sand and watching barracuda schools shimmer just off the drop-offs. One morning, we had a green turtle cruise past us so close we could almost feel the water ripple from its fins – an absolute gem of a dive. They’re great at picking the right site for the conditions too, knowing where the currents will be calmest or where the visibility is holding best. If you're looking to push your skills or just enjoy some solid, reliable diving with a friendly crew, they're a top pick.
