We have sadly just come back from our 4th and last day of diving at this family run business in Los Gigantes. Ideally situated at the marina. They have a rib that takes you out to the dive sites. We last dived with the company in 2003 with a group of Friends so came back knowing we would be looked after. We weren't disappointed, Sheila, Angie and Chris were excellent, safe diving practices in place, but as divers with over 500 dives now we were very well catered for. Fantastic dive sites and as the area is now a marine protected site the marine life is fabulous. Octopus, butterfly and stingrays, shoals of fish, barracuda, grunts etc, cuttlefish, moray eels, we saw something different on every dive. Fabulous underwater rock formations and swim throughs. We would highly recommend Los Gigantes as a dive site and highly recommend Los Gigantes Diving Centre

We had a great time snorkelling with los gigantes diving centre. We’ve not been snorkelling in a loooong time after doing a lot of snorkelling on our travels before having our family. Carol was very reassuring and was happy to keep our 3 girls (6,6 & 4) entertained on the boat while we got the chance to snorkel together. She encouraged the kids to get in the sea to cool off with us which they loved in life jackets, keeping hold of the bouy. Carol showed them the divers on our trip doing a try dive from the boat and taught them some Spanish. Sheila picked up a conch shell for them from the floor. Very laid back and a lovely way to explore a bit more. All the equipment was provided and worked brilliantly

Lovely people at the centre who were knowledgable and helpful.
We joined a diving course dive trip as snorkellers, booking the day before. The company provided all the equipment needed which was good quality. When we arrived and got in to wetsuits we had to wait around quite a long time for divers to prepare indoors in the high heat which was quite uncomfortable. Boat took us 5 minutes from the marina and anchored. Saw good variety of fish and snorkelled an hour for 25euros. We took our own water to drink afterwards however, I think it would have been a nice touch for the company to offer participants a drink on leaving the sea as part of the experience. On the whole, o great fun experience and would recommend.

Unfortunately, I have to write that it was far below what I have experienced in other places in the world where I have dived. My wife immediately said she didn't want to dive with that company, I thought it was okay.
When I came the next day everything was a mess and I got my tank delivered and found that there was not enough air in it. I pointed this out and was met with a very angry reply that it did not fit when they had checked it. Both my pressure gauge and my computer said the same thing. The man gave me a new tank, but she absolutely had to check and it turned out I was right. You should not expect to get any help from anyone. The boatman is lazy and has no idea to help with anything. They also didn't have any lead that fit my lead pockets.
Two dives in a row without anything to eat or drink is not for me either.
Only took the one day and would not recommend anyone else to come here.

I did a refrecher dive and my partner did the try scuba dive.
Everything went nicely (seriously they had to do more work because of me, even thou I was the certified one).
I checked out those other reviews before our trip, and it seems to me that they are written by individuals who do not understand that safe diving is serious. The best service provided is a safe experience and it recuires some promt commanding. Don't go if you can't handle it.
All together, I would definitely recommend them. :)

We had a snorkelling trip as a group of 13 and it was fantastic.
Great hosts, really considerate of all our needs and very patient. Our Skipper (Josh) was amazing. Equipment provided, no rush and an amazing location under the cliffs.
If I had 1 criticism I’d probably say that 1hr snorkelling in the same location is a bit long. Could consider 2 separate (but close) locations for shorter dives, or even cut the time down to 45mins in the water.
Overall an amazing experience.

My husband and I dove over a week visiting Tenerife and really enjoyed the dives. It was usually just the two of us so Sheila took us out to dive sites taylored to what we wanted to see. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and we appreciated that they followed the rules for covid. We would definitely dive with Los Gigantes Dive Centre again and highly recommend them to anyone.

We had an amazing experience, diving with Sheila & the team. We dove twice - each time was different from one another, tailored to our level (beginners) and we felt absolutely safe all along. When the conditions were poor, we were offered to reschedule to our convenience. Great service, high professionalism and flexibility: we highly recommend and would gladly come again!

Before my dive, great communication with Sheila on WhatsApp. Had a fantastic dive with Angela, I was made to feel completely at ease as still very new to the diving scene. Very knowledgeable people. Will definitely book again on my return to los gigantes. My wife did the snorkelling, she was very happy with area, although she was solo, she enjoyed the bountiful area.

To flee! We are a couple with some experience and have dived in various countries (Costa Rica, Reunion...) and this is the worst welcome we have ever encountered. Not a welcome word, not a smile, no explanation before or after. A shame to be treated like this. Outdated equipment and no place to change: you manage in the corridor of a shopping mall, no access to the toilets and you have to go to the paid public toilets 300 meters away.
In short, if you want to be disgusted with diving, this is the place to go

Our only means of transporting divers is by boat so we are not able to pick you up from your hotel.
There is a very good taxi service, only costing a few € , from your hotel to the taxi rank on the marina in Los Gigantes where we are based. There is also a very regular bus service, ask at the reception for times.
Here is our general information.
Boat dives depart at 10:00 and 12:30 We meet at Dive Centre half hour prior. We return to the marina between dives so for those wanting 2 dives we have time for a coffee and change of cylinders before going out again. We have a fast boat and the majority of our dives sites are within 15 minutes travelling time from the marina. We close on Sundays.
We vary the dive sites daily depending on conditions qualifications/experience etc
Our sub tropical climate with volcanic underwater terrain is home to a huge diversity of marine life, including stingrays, octopus, lobsters and fish too numerous to list.
We have a special trip :- Our stingray feeding site, depth 14 – 16 metres. Every 4 – 5 days.
Let me know when you would like your first dive and I will book you in.

Bonjour
Visiblement le centre de plongée n'assure pas en hiver la plongée pour voir les tortues, uniquement snorkling le long des falaise de los Gigantes.
A quelle période avez vous fait votre plongée avec les tortues?
merci

Hi,
A child has to be 10yrs for us to be able to take them diving (with a signed consent from parent or guardian). We do have very small kit sizes for this purpose.
Tenerife is sub tropical with warm clear waters which attracts a huge diversity of marine life. You can check it all out on our web site. This site does not let me quote our web address but if you google Los Gigantes Diving Centre you will find us.

I will be in Los Gigantes for a week beginning 19th June with my boyfriend. Neither of us have ever scuba/ snorkelled before. Is this good for beginners? Also would we need to pre book and how would we do this? Thomson doesn't offer it as an excursion from what I can tell.
