Scuba Point Diving Tenerife

Located in the harbour of Puerto Colón on Tenerife's Costa Adeje, Scuba Point Diving serves as a primary hub for diving in the Canary Islands. The centre brings together the expertise of Scuba Point, Aqua Marina, and Zero Gravity Tenerife, drawing on a legacy of local operations that dates back to 1999.

Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are an experienced diver seeking wreck and cave exploration, the centre is positioned to handle all levels of experience. The proximity to the Puerto Colón marina makes it a practical base for accessing the various reef and wreck sites around the island.

The centre operates as a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, a distinction that reflects its capacity to provide high-level training and professional development. The team includes experienced instructors such as Marcos, who brings 17 years of diving expertise to the operation.

Communication is straightforward for international divers, as the team is proficient in English, French, Spanish, and Italian. This multilingual approach ensures that instruction and dive briefings are clear and precise for a wide range of nationalities.

The training programme is comprehensive, following the PADI curriculum from the initial Open Water Diver course through to Advanced Open Water Diver. For those looking to specialise, the centre offers PADI specialty courses, including Deep Diver and Wreck Diver.

Professional divers can also utilise the centre's 5 Star IDC status to progress through their PADI training. The curriculum is designed to take you from your very first breath underwater to advanced technical and professional levels.

The centre operates via boat, providing access to the various underwater sites around Tenerife. These excursions allow you to reach the offshore reefs and wreck sites that define the local diving landscape.

A full range of equipment is available for hire on-site, covering the essentials for both recreational and specialty diving. This includes wetsuits, regulators, fins, and masks.

For those interested in night diving, torches are available to ensure you can explore the sites after sunset. The centre is set up to support a variety of dive profiles, from shallow reef explorations to deeper specialty dives.

The local reefs are home to a variety of larger species that you will encounter during your dives. You can regularly see Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), various species of Ray (Batoidea), and schools of fish moving through the water column. Moray eel (Muraenidae) and Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) are also common residents of the reef structure.

For those with an eye for detail, the macro life is significant. You may find Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani), Seahorse (Hippocampus), and various invertebrates tucked into the crevices. Cuttlefish (Sepiidae) and different types of crabs, such as spider crabs, add to the diversity of the smaller inhabitants.

The seabed and reef walls are covered in a rich variety of fixed life. You will find colourful anemones, various sponges (Porifera), and diverse coral structures that provide a habitat for smaller fish, cleaner shrimp (Lysmata), and various species of starfish (Asteroidea).

The diving in this area can involve interesting currents, which adds a dynamic element to drift dives and reef explorations. It is important to check the specific conditions for your dive site to ensure your experience level matches the local environment.
