I'll be getting another few dives in at Capernwray tommorow (with my mates
at www.h2ho.co.uk ), which will help me overlook any shortfalls in the
diving in Tenerife.

I dived with Easy Blue World in Abades. As a dive outfit they weren't
brilliant but they weren't bad either; George (he's English if that
makes a difference to you) was our guide for most of the dives and was
very knowledgeable about the area and made for a superb dive companion.
Yes the dives did seem a bit samey around certain parts of the coast
but I wouldn't say that they were boring (except for the house reef
after the 3rd visit).

You're in a warmer part of the Atlantic to the UK and the viz is
generally better, we saw plenty of trumpetfish, cuttlefish, octopussies
and rays, all large; as Gordon says you will see plenty of the black
spiny sea urchins in addition. Our restrictions were down to the
various experience levels within the group not the diving which was on
offer - if we'd split our group (this wasn't an option) a couple of us
could have (apparently) explored some deeper/more challenging dive sites
which offered more variety and a greater chance to see more of the
pelagic life.

Just my two penneth worth
