Awesome dive center.
Where to start?
Ive just finished my PADI Open Water with them.
Hannah and Simon are simply amazing.
Simon was in charge of my training. Everything from Theory, Confined water and open water was handled professional and friendly.
All my questions through the theory was patiently answered and explained, so it made sence to me.
In confined water, my issues especially with mask removal was patiently and professionally handled and WOW, from day no 1 to now licensed I have grown and learned.
And today with my final Dive no 4 I had the pleasure of just enjoying the underwater experience, swim along a playfull cuttlefish, and most importantly feeling safe and understanding that diving is all about safety and knowing what to do in a uncertain situation, that is the key of diving.
I have luckily not been in a tricky situation yet, but having all this patiently explained, so my weird brain now understands it.
Should anything happen, I feel I am in a position to react in a way that is safe and correct.
Finally, that now gives me the opportunity to dive and explore the world in the sea with confidence and an open mind.
I can't wait for my next dive, and explore a bit of the 70% of this planet submerged in water.

Something positive came out of lockdown and that was us getting you to try diving and so glad you have the bug. It's be a pleasure to watch you grown. Yes you did ask slot of questions but they were all valid and helped you progress. We're looking forward to more scuba fun. Happy bubble blowing.

I did my PADI open water course with Simon and had a really great time that I'd recommend to anyone looking to learn and see some cool stuff along the way. First, they were very flexible when it came to booking and organising dives, which I was thankful for as I know finding good dive days is a constant juggle. Second I thought Simon was a great teacher and helped me to understand everything in a very simple and easy way. Finally, I didn't expect to see much as I was learning and probably would frighten a lot of the wildlife off - but I was super lucky to see 2 Angel Sharks, a huge Spider Crab, a Stingray and a bunch of fish which I could stare at all day.
If you come in wanting to learn or just experience another world for 40mins then would highly recommend Abyss.

We went for a try dive with Hannah and it was such a great experience from start to finish. She made sure we were comfortable at all times and answered any questions we had. 100% would recommend, especially for people who have never tried before. Thank you Hannah & Simon for a experience we will remember for a lifetime!!

Seriously cannot speak highly enough of our first ever diving experience. Hannah and Simon have been brilliant. Great communication beforehand to make arrangements, really good non-macho non judgemental guidance and training from two clearly really experienced and knowledgeable people who made the day really really really special for our family of four. Magical experience which may have started a brand new hobby for many of us. We would all highly recommend for quality and genuine value for money. We will be back We hope. Many Thanks Simon and hannah....a superb day and loads of fun.

Doing the Open Water Diving Course with Simon taught me so much, not only about scuba diving, but also about myself - making my first time diving absolutely unforgettable.
I was the only person Simon instructed during my visit, and he helped me overcome all of my anxiety, being patient and honest. It is very easy to trust him as he clearly explains everything you need to know and helps you find confidence to accomplish the course.
In the third day, I could enjoy diving without worries, and easily perform skills I had previously been scared of.
Both him and Hannah are experienced and professional in business, but they are also kind and friendly and certainly don't lack humor. Communicating with Hannah via email was quick and she's promptly answered all questions.
My last dive of the course was with Hannah, and she took pictures of me + recorded the angel shark in the bay, the octopus (unfortunately) hiding and of all the fish by the reef. My parents were very happy to have these as memories!
Thanks Hannah & Simon,
Looking forward to diving with you again!

Fabulous and Brilliant! A wonderful hour underwater on a trial dive with my daughter and just one other person. Hannah was extraordinarily attentive, explaining very clearly what we were going to do, and then when we were successfully diving within minutes, all the amazing creatures we could see: octopus, sardines, flat fish, wrasse, sponges and several extraordinary cuttlefish. We even held a tiny Arrow Crab (Hannah carefully replaced it back where it came from afterwards - their care for nature is exemplary). Drinks and biscuits after (beer/juice/water). And a bonus we didn't expect - Hannah took photos of both us and the sealife - and sent them immediately. A good record proving what we saw and that we were actually diving!
We're now signing up for our PADI. With Abyss Fuerteventura of course!

I had an awesome time doing my Open Water Dive course here and would recommend it to anyone! The whole experience was amazing and I will never forget it!
It was great to have Simon as an instructor. He has great communication skills, which made it easy to learn both the theory and practical skills. Even underwater, he communicates very clearly and was able to pass on his calm nature. This took a lot of anxiety out of my first few times underwater, until I felt really confident during the last dives.

Our 5th time diving with Hannah at Abyss during what is now becoming our annual vacation to Fuerteventura - and diving with Abyss it is always the highlight of our holiday! We took some friends along this trip who had never dived before for a Try Dive and Hannah was brilliant! She has this unique knack of putting everyone at ease in a lovely informal manner but with focus always on safety and education while making it so much fun. Our three friends now feel so enthused and encouraged by their experience that they plan to go on and do their PADI Open Water training which will open up a life long love of diving for them. Hannah also takes lots of photos and videos of the divers and all the amazing critters we see which always makes a much treasured memento of each of our dives. this trip we saw wonderful large Octopus, Arrow Head Crabs, large common Rays, Cuttlefish, Barracuda, Parrot fish, lizard fish and many more. Kudos to her son Archie who as a Junior Dive Master accompanied us on the dive and was a fantastic support to the group. Anyone considering a dive in Fuerteventura should go with Abyss if you want a fun, safe and professional diving experience.

I chose Abyss to do my first dive in 6 years and I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to dive in Fuerteventura. I was a bit apprehensive at first but communication from the beginning was great and I began to feel more relaxed.
I started with a refresher dive with Simon, I appreciated his patience and calmness after my initial panic. We did two dives and as I relaxed I could enjoy the underwater sights - there was plenty to see!
The next day I did a dive with Hannah and again she was patient and kept it a good pace.
All in all I had a great experience. Simon and Hannah keep it fun whilst also prioritising safety. Equipment was in good condition and pre dive briefs were good for knowing what to expect. Thank you both for the great experience!

Very professional from the outset with excellent communication. Having the ability to pay UK to UK bank accounts made the whole booking process really simple.
Great little set up and a couple of nice easy leisurely shore dives, having been out of the water for a year or so due to the pandemic., however, it was so much nicer than my usual North Sea diving. Extensive safety brief conducted and good equipment.
Dive day was changed due to a potential change in weather conditions and what a great call.
Plenty of sea life, including cuttlefish and sea horse. Great dive partners, and craic, from Holland, Ireland and obviously Hannah from the UK
All in all a very enjoyable and professional mornings diving. And a lovely colour selection of dive t-shirts too.

Hi, I’m coming to Corralejo on Sat 9th June, and I’m hoping to do a dive or two. I’m PADI OW certified (since Oct 2017), but still quite inexperienced (only 6 dives, all in drysuit in Scottish lochs). Also, never done a boat dive, all mine were shore-entry. Do you do any shore-entry dives, and if not, would you be able to pair me with a good buddy who wouldn’t mind taking me through the correct boat-dive process? I’ll have my own fins, mask, snorkel & skinsuit, so would need to hire bcd, regs, weight belt & weights, and cylinder. Would love to try a dive in warm water for a change!
