BIG FISH Dive Center Tenerife - Nurkowanie Teneryfa
A dive centre in the heart of Los Cristianos, on the south west coast of Tenerife, some two hundred metres from the sea and close to the harbour. As a PADI 5 Star IDC centre it covers the whole training ladder, from a first breath underwater through to instructor level certification. Its underwater safaris reach the most striking dive sites on the island, with boat dives and shore dives led by professional instructors.

Big Fish Dive Center works from a recently renovated base in central Los Cristianos, beside Playa de Las Vistas and close to the port. The centre holds PADI 5 Star IDC status, so its programme runs from complete beginners through to instructor certifications. The team is international and guides and teaches diving in several languages, which makes the courses reachable for visitors from many countries.
The offer covers snorkelling, introductory dives, recreational diving and outings designed for children and for older divers. Dives are made both from the boat and from the shore, over colourful reefs, wrecks and sites with varied marine life. Groups are kept small so that every diver gets attention and a relaxed pace, modern and reliable equipment is provided, international safety standards are followed, and the centre supports local marine conservation work.

What to see in Puerto de la Cruz
Puerto de la Cruz was the first tourist town in the Canaries, and it is still the most walkable. You do not come here to lie on pale sand: you come for the old town, the rough sea, the architecture of the seventies and a botanical garden from the eighteenth century.
