Diving Tenerife -Great Weeks Diving
Richard and Sam Miles Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you both for a great weeks diving. Sam and myself had a really good time. As I said at the time I have put 'The Rays' dive along side the South African Shark dive as the best I have ever done. You'll be pleased to hear we got back in time for our presentation in the evening, although we managed to get Ben our 5 year old to play up so were out in an hour and a half, without spending a penny. I have put a note on dive et.co.uk. I wish you well over the summer, trying to workout how to visit for a weeks diving next time. I hope the offer for dive master inte still stands as I think you have convinced Sam. Thanks again will be singing your praises on the inte et. Richard and Sam.
Featured Dive Centre July 2006.
Most of the accommodation used is in the Costa Del Silencio area, a few minutes drive from the Dive Centre and about 5 minutes from the harbour. If morning walks are your thing, or should you wish to visit the harbour restaurants of an evening, it's a gentle 15-20 minutes stroll.
There is a variety of accommodation available ranging from the 2-3 star hotel for the budget conscious. To the more luxurious 3-4 star hotels for those who prefer things a little quieter and for their on site restaurants to have a greater choice.
The best dive holiday ever can be ruined by poor accommodation, bad food and lousy service - We can all look back over some of the grotty accommodation, appalling food that we have put up with over the years and think WHY??
Whether you are coming on a diving holiday or a holiday with some diving, along with non diving partners and family, you really want to make sure that you have somewhere decent to stay along with getting value for money.
The preferred choice of tour operators seems to be either Los Cristianos, Las Americas or the Gold Del Sur. These are only 15 min's drive from us and we do offer a free collection and drop off service to these areas.
Tenerife Scuba is based in the small fishing town of Las Galletas, next door to Costa del Silencio, which is half way between the airport and Los Cristianos. Local Spanish live here and as such it has retained a more local look and feel.
With this in mind, Tenerife Scuba's first recommendation for accommodation is Westhaven Bay. This is a quiet family run (mother and daughter) apart hotel. The accommodation is more like your own private house, with all the facilities of a 4* hotel on site. All the apartments are furnished to a high standard and built on two levels. Built on the coastline you get great sea views. It has an excellent restaurant on site which is used by residents and locals alike. Put it another way - When family and friends come to visit they always stay here - If it's not good enough for then it's not good enough for our customers. Over the last five years Tenerife Scuba have built up a great relationship with Westhaven Bay our customers always seem to get the best. Westhaven Bay always receives high praise from our customers along with next years booking!
When appropriate we also tend to use Westhaven Bay's pool for Training or try dives
We also have access to a number of private rental apartments in the local area, which while good do not have the on site facilities.
| Euros/Apartment | £ Sterling /Apartment | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom (2 or 4 People) | 300 | 200 |
| 2 Bedroom (4 or 6 People) | 380 | 253 |
Hiring cars at airports, whilst incredibly convenient, can be a little pricey when compared to local companies.
