Have you ever walked around your garden with a torch in the dark? Scuba diving at night is very similar…just more exciting! Suddenly a world you thought you knew becomes very different when you can see a whole new host of marine life that is revealed by your underwater torch!

Tenerife Dive love night diving in Tenerife! There is no better way to see the amazing underwater world, than after dark, particularly because many underwater residents exhibit unique behaviors at sunset and often the tiny creatures you miss amid the big picture during the day, stand out more at night. Some underwater inhabitants hide during the day and can only be seen at night, phosphorescent plankton is common – just wave your arm through the water and you’ll see a trail of sparkles. The moon and manmade lights on shore are often visible from underwater and during a full moon, we can make the most of a night dive with our lights off.

Night dives are available to all divers holding the PADI Open Water certification and above. It is simply amazing and a great way to see the underwater world of Tenerife in a whole new light!

Tenerife Dive conduct all Night diving from the shore and always choose a dive site that you’ve dived before during daylight, because when you know what it looked like in the daytime, you know what to expect after dark. Plus you’ll appreciate how diving at night in Tenerife, reveals a whole new world on a familiar reef or wreck.

Tenerife Dive begin night dives at dusk, as it is easier to get your scuba equipment on and make your entry while we still have some daylight to work with. As night falls while you’re underwater, you’ll gradually become acclimated to the darkness throughout the scuba dive instead of plunging into it from the start. Tenerife Dive keep groups small and often conduct night dives as a one to one. We also provide all torches and back up lights (that is all included in the price) and as always, strictly adhere to all PADI standards and procedures. At Tenerife Dive we do not require a minimum number of divers to participate in a night dive.

For a really unique experience, why not join us in a night dive just before dawn and watch the underwater world wake up? Early morning underwater can be just as fascinating as sunset and when you make your ascent while the sun is making one of its own, there’s just no better way to start the day!
