Aqua-Marina is for me the best location I have been to. Safety is a high value, they organize boat and shore dives, give training, and have coffee :) Dutch instructor Ray is great, just like all the other instructors. I went on dives with almost the whole crew. Gold star!
Tenerife has become a hugely popular destination for British travellers and one look at a map reveals why. Sitting just off the Africa's northern coast, the Canary Islands enjoy a warm climate with hardly any rainfall all year round. With a rich history and strong ties to Spain, the Canary Islands have been formed through volcanic action and no where is this more evident than on Tenerife. Tenerife's landscape is dramatic yet ruggedly beautiful with some of the best beaches you will find anywhere in the entire region. From black volcanic sands to the golden playas of Las Americas sun worshipers will be in heaven. All of this is only a short 4 hour flight from the UK.
