Depending upon the water temperature, and how much you feel the cold, you
will need either a 3mm or 5mm one-piece wetsuit. Water at this time of
year is usually about 19c / 66f, otherwise standard dive gear. You can hire
it when you're out there but I normally take my own.

Definitely have your own boots as there are a lot of spiny urchins and the
spines can hurt.

Although I've not dived in Tenerife for a few years, although I often dive
in Lanzarote, which is similar. The last time I was in Tenerife I dived with
Tenerife Dive Club, they are now http://www.tenerifedive.com/index.html
based in the south about 15 minutes drive from Playa De Las Americas, an are
a British owned operation.

Have a word with Bob Lenham at Amphibian Watersports in West Norwood, London
as he used to own it when it was Tenerife Dive Club and is very friendly
with the people he sold it to (still dives with them).

I think they now have two dive boats (it was one when I was last there) and
can offer Nitrox.
