In Adeje you can take your first breaths under the surface with a trained instructor at your side. The experience begins with a concise safety briefing and equipment familiarization, continues with a short coastal ride to the dive site, and culminates in an instructor‑led immersion to roughly 10–12 meters where you practice breathing and control of your gear while the guide stays close to ensure you enjoy the dive.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE INSTRUCTOR

Close coaching from briefing through the dive

A specialist gives the basic safety instructions and teaches the breathing and equipment techniques you need; in the water the instructor helps you relax, guides breathing exercises, and stays close to control and ensure your enjoyment.

THE RIDE

A short semi‑rigid coastal transfer

After the briefing you and your instructor take a roughly 15‑minute coastal ride in a semi‑rigid boat to the dive area, keeping the approach brief so most of the outing is spent preparing for and doing the dive.

THE DIVE

Shallow, sustained bottom time

Maximum depth is about 10–12 meters; there is no fixed maximum time underwater — you remain until your tank is nearly depleted, commonly between about 20 and 40 minutes depending on your breathing.

What the day feels like

What the baptism feels like

The outing is tightly guided: a brief instruction sets expectations, a short boat transfer places you at the site, and the instructor leads you into the sea to practice breathing and equipment control. Underwater time is driven by your air consumption — instructors keep close, helping you settle and ensuring the dive stays within shallow, manageable depths.
