PADI 5* Travel Sub Dive Center Tenerife
Travel Sub is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive centre in Puerto Colón harbour, Costa Adeje, housed in the Escuela Náutica building. It runs PADI courses at every level, from a first try dive through to instructor training, and organises guided dives for certified divers, snorkelling outings and private charters. Groups are kept small and divers board straight from the quay, without carrying tanks down to the boat.
The centre has occupied one of the oldest diving bases on Tenerife since 1999, in the heart of Puerto Colón and less than a hundred metres from its boats. It runs three speedboats fitted out for diving, with ladders, emergency oxygen and first aid kits on board. Beuchat equipment is used throughout, the team is multilingual, and beginner activities are staffed with one instructor for every two participants.
Try dives start from the age of eight, snorkelling from five and the Discover Scuba Diver programme from ten, while certified divers have recreational dives, specialities and the full professional ladder up to instructor level. Outings head for the southern sites: volcanic reefs, the Palm Mar cave and the El Condesito and Le Meridian wrecks, with turtles, rays and angel sharks. A watch but do not touch rule applies, and the centre joins seabed clean-ups.

The Canarian festival year: what plays when
Two separate celebration calendars run side by side in the Canary Islands. One is put on by the neighbours and costs nothing; the other needs a ticket bought months ahead. Here is when each happens, what to book a room for early, and why autumn is the best season.
Carnival of Icod de los Vinos: a wake on the square, a funeral procession towards the Centinela bridge and a wandering Sunday
In Icod de los Vinos the sardine lies in state on the square in the afternoon, then a funeral procession carries it towards the Centinela bridge, and the day ends with the widows' and widowers' dance. When the carnival usually is, why the big parade moves, and what we know for sure.
Buying property in the Canaries: what to check before you sign
Most of the bad stories about buying here are not about price. They come from three things the listing does not show: what class of land it sits on, what the registry says, and whether that house can legally be let to tourists. All three can be checked before you sign anything.
