Nice 1st dive, but had to miss the second because of misleading description
I dived with them on my vacation in Tenerife. I registered for 2 dives, and the description said that the whole thing would take 5 hours, which worked for me. The 1st dive was nice (even though I ran out of the air faster than I usually do), but afterwards it suddenly turned out that we are going to some café in between, so we would be done almost 2 hours later than was announced. I had to pass on the 2nd dive, and also take a taxi to get back to the office, where I left my car.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your feedback, and I’m glad you enjoyed the first dive. Our two-dive trips are structured with a mandatory surface interval between dives, typically around 60–90 minutes, in line with safe diving practices. This time is usually spent at the port, where there are cafés, toilets, and a comfortable place to relax before the second dive. This is also outlined during the briefing at the start of the day. As with all boat diving, the overall duration can vary slightly depending on conditions such as sea state, boat transit time, and the dive profile itself. On the day, the wind meant the boat was travelling a little slower than usual, which can extend the schedule slightly. Regarding returning after the first dive, as the rest of the group and staff continue with the second dive, it isn’t possible to provide individual returns to the dive centre mid-trip. In future we’ll make sure the full flow of the day is fully understood in advance. Thanks again for your feedback.

Amazing first dive with Florian
We did the discover scuba diving course with Florian and it was absolutely amazing!!! He made us feel so safe and comfortable in the water. He was so kind and funny. He introduced us to scuba in a pool and taught us to empty water from our mask, and locate our regulator. Then we did a dive in the sea. We saw loads of amazing animals including two octopuses, starfish and sea urchins! It was so fun and beautiful. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Izzy (11) and Freya (10).
Response from the operator: Glad you guys enjoyed it! It was a pleasure having you complete the discovery scuba experience with us

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! cost?
+
Prices start at $126 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tenerife is not rushed.
Is Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time!?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tenerife can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tenerife within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tenerife?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tenerife?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time!?
+
Included: Scuba Diving Safety presentation; Use of SCUBA equipment; and Drinking Water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 100 listed pickup locations in and around Tenerife. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time!?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Discover Scuba Diving - Try it for the first time! if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
