Perfect place for diving!
I did the practical part of my open water diver certification with Ludo, it was amazing I couldn't have chosen a better place to try diving and do my first dives! Julia and Ludo are super kind and friendly! 🦈🤿
Response from the operator: Thanks Marta ☺️ It was great (and easy) to accompany you to this certification 😉 You are skillful and safe. 😁 Hope to see you and dive with you soon 😎

Refinding myself in the bubbles
Doing my PADI Open Water course with LJ Diving has been an absolutely amazing experience. From the very first moment, Ludo and Julie welcomed me with a smile and a warmth that made me feel at home. Not only did they teach me with professionalism and safety, but they did it with infinite patience, transmitting in each dive their love and respect for the sea. Thanks to them I have fallen even more in love with the underwater world. Every explanation, every piece of advice and every moment underwater has been special. They have made the learning process enjoyable, fun and at the same time deeply inspiring. They have given me the confidence to enjoy this sport to the fullest, but above all they have given me the passion to explore and care for the ocean. In just one week, Ludo and Julie have gone from being my instructors to truly becoming family. We have shared laughs, adventures and memories that will stay with me forever. I know that, every time I come back to Tenerife, my dives will be with them, because there is no better team or better people to live this experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ludo and Julie, for opening the door to this new world and for making me feel so welcome! 🌊💙🐠
Response from the operator: Many thanks Marta 😊 A New (sea) star is born and a new member enters our family 😉 Keep diving and exploring this wonderful world 😋 Come back as soon as possible 😘

Open Water Diver
I just completed my open water diver with L&J really enjoyable experience conducted with a relaxed but professional attitude. Equipment all in good condition the centre itself is well equipped and very clean and located 5 minutes from Marina. I travelled with an experienced diver who just completed experienced dives he has now used this centre twice this year. L&J took loads of pictures and videos send link very quickly so you can remember your experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you 🤗 we have really enjoyed every second with you guys...keep on diving and welcome back😘😘😘 Ludo & Julie

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m !: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m ! cost?
+
Prices start at $768 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 OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m ! take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m ! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m !?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m ! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m !?
+
Around 10 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does OPEN WATER CERTIFICATION - Become an autonomous diver up to 18m ! 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, Group Surfing Lesson at Playa de las Américas, Tenerife, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour. 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.
