Steve,

Thanks for the tip

I notice that they have a RIB in the marina at Playa De Las Americas, a
Bus/office, and an office on the south of the island. Do they have an
office or something on the marina? If not, where do you get changed and
showered etc?

I too have dived with Cita del Mar
http://www.citadelmar.com/plon_ten_ang.htm
and liked Philippe a lot. He is a good safe diver and a nice man. I was
by myself and buddied up with others in his party, but as the others
were French or Swiss, keeping up with the conversaition was tough at
times although he did include me.
If I went back to Tenerife I would certainly dive with him again.
Cheers
Graham

Nope, Los Gigantes Dive Centre, right next to the marina are also another
great centre, run by Nev & Sheila Woodrington.

Superbly relaxed, able to tailor the diving to suit your needs, and a
cracking sense of humour thrown in.

Far better than the centre I've just returned from in Malta!

I dived with David and Yvonne about four years ago when the company was
called Tenerife Dive club (or something similar) and have to agree that they
could not be more helpful in making accommodation arrangements, transporting
us to and from the airport at 3 am, and that the diving was well executed,
but there were drawbacks caused by the location of their premises. Their
shop was away from the beach with very limited parking nearby, so they
collected us from the apartment, drove us to the shop to collect the
equipment, then drove us to the beach where we waded out to the RIB.
Returning from the dive was a reverse of this process.

I had no problem with this arrangement and would happily use them again if I
were to return to Tenerife, but some folk might be put off by the lack of
independence and the need to carry kit into the water across a stony beach.
Having said that, maybe the change of name indicates a change of premises so
it is worth enquiring.

I went to Tenerife for an early season warm-up with fairly low expectations
and found it surprisingly enjoyable. Not up to Red Sea standards of course,
but more life than I expected, and more variety of sites. The food in the
restaurants was also good and cheap.

Most of the operators out of Las Galletas, always have surface cover
in the boat. Tenerife Scuba surtanly has it all the time, a big reson
for this is that the Spannish police (or coast guard) hasd be come
picky about this for foregin operators. They many of them seas this as
a good service...
