Steve,

e.mailed them and they are shut for their annual holiday when we are
there. Graham recommended Ocean Dreams in Puerto Colon, but I cant find
a web site, or any info on them - any ideas?

Anyway, having looked at a lot of web sites and reviews, I have decided
that we really want a dive centre which has a site on, or very near, the
marina (in Playa de las Americas), and/or has a boat in the marina.

I have now narrowed this down to:

http://www.mantasub.com

http://www.divingtenerife.net (Diversity)

http://www.estrella-del-mar.com (NAUI only)

http://www.divingshoptenerife.com


If anybody knows any reasons for or against any of these, we would be
grateful

Thanks to all for the various comments.

After a test of the diving down there... There is one really good
operartor...

Tenerife Scuba http://www.tenerifescuba.com/ Chris and Sarah could fix
everything and are really good people. They will be up for the dive
show in Birmingham, go there and have a chat. If you are going down
for a little longer time. (E.g. more than a week.) ask that to fix a
trip over to El Hierro, the diving of La Restinga if way better than
any diving of Tenerife. And that diving is really good.
