Screw it just do it! - Thanks To the Goo Diving team for an awsome experience last week!! I took my son's (15&18) for a try dive and it was so good that we went on to do the full PADI cert with an additional 2 half days. Andrea was such a good instructor and I felt safe going up to 18m depth with him and my boys. We saw an abundance of fish as well as sting ray, eagle ray, turtles, octopus and to top off the final trip, an Angel shark!! It's unheard of in these water in August (normally see them in November) yet Andreas managed to find us one and it was an unusual discovery that just made the experience even more amazing - you never know what you're gonna find down there! The videos that Andrea took are also excellent and a very nice souvenir to take home. Now that we are certified open water divers (which took just 3 mornings to achieve from scratch) we can go diving anywhere in the world. I would say to anyone looking for some serious adventure on their holidays (but not too extreme!) - Screw it just do it!

Excellent and very patient teacher - Enjoyed a really great refresher course and dive with Roberta who was not only a great teacher but also a very nice person. She was very friendly and went out of her way to do everything possible to help me get my confidence back diving which was very much appreciated after an almost 2 year break. The shore dive was also very nice and I saw many nice fish and nice scenery. Would highly recommend Goodiving to anyone who wanted to dive in the south of Tenerife as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Roberta and all the best to you guys at Goodiving

Absolute beginners, hidden gem. - We found the Goodiving dive centre by accident as we drove past near to our hotel, I’d been looking for a dive centre for myself, my 14yr old son and his friend to do a taster dive session. The centre had a family run feel and I felt that this was a good fit for us, especially given that the initial training takes place in a swimming pool at the centre (not many centres can offer this) which offers a much more controlled environment for absolute beginners. Our instructor Mariana explained everything really well and gave us confidence for the open water dive. We then transferred by minibus to Playa Abades, a (not that) local beach, which they said is one of the better locations for beginners on their first ocean dive. There’s an area of flat sand to acclimatise to the open water along with an area of sea grass where the sea life goes to feed. We were lucky enough to see a green turtle that swam straight up to our group which is something we’ll never forget, along with a Barracuda feeding off the sea grasses. All the costs (equipment hire, transfers) were included with no hidden extras, they even provided post dive snacks. You only need to bring water and a towel. I’d strongly recommend.

Ocean dive for beginners - The experience with Goodivers and Andrea was outstanding. I went with 3 kids (12, 14, 15yo) and was a bit worried about their ability to tackle this diving adventure. Andrea was very knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming to the kids and myself. We tried the pool first and when we felt ready, we went to the Ocean! The diving went phenomenal with fun for the 4 of us for almost 1 hour - all with constant supervision from Andrea. Thanks GooDivers and Andrea for the experience, we will come back and bring in more family members to try diving!

Great experience, would recommend ! - @San Miguel harbour/Tenerife: that was an awesome experience, diving with my stepson and an instructor, 1 poolsession to get familiair with the equipment and after that a dive in the ocean near the home reef of the port. Great explaining and guidance of our instructor Mariana Mendez, kudos for her patience and expertise!

Best teacher, also for Kids! Great! - Perfect experience for the whole family. Our daughter (10) did her first scuba dive after a great lesson in the pool together with her more experienced dad. Our son and I were snorkeling in parallel. Each of us had been able to see turtles and a whole lot of colourful fishes. Roberta and her team are super great people! 🥰

Safe ocean dive into its wonders even for a first- timer - I was planning to go snorkeling, but due to high waves Andrea recommended trying diving. The instruction material received prior to course via e-mail is very informative and interesting. The instructions and pool training prior to ocean dive are clear and non hurried. All through out the dive there is an amazing presence from the instructor for your safety and also for pointing to you (even the hidden) wonders of the ocean fauna and flora, underneath, above and around you.

Great first diving experience - I had an amazing experience with Roberta, Andrea, and Orsi. It was my first experience with diving and everything was really great. From the briefing to the first tries in the pool, the communication was great and helped a lot in understanding how to dive safely. The ocean dive, although turtles went missing, was also a great experience, especially for a beginner like I was On top of this the guys are amazing, and you really feel at home with them. Super super suggested
