For those of you who don't know about this place its AMAZING!!! I went to Tenerife for a little birthday trip with my friend. So before I went I emailed a few dive shops and explained what I was coming out for and also My friend is not a diver. From the moment I received a reply back I knew these guys were different to the other shops because the email was personal and actually cared about my business. The fact my friend was not a diver wasn't a problem because Sol Scuba worked to our needs and took us to places where my friend could do some snorkelling too, I ended up doing 5 dives over 3 days because I just loved how they operated and were so bespoke to what I wanted. The first dive Tim picked me up from the apartment which was great, the diving was brilliant however I was a little rusty diving without a dry-suit so took me a dive to get myself back to just using a BCD. Tim took this into consideration and lead the dive with that in mind. On that dive we saw some great things the best things were the cuttlefish and the octopus....oh wait and the Cave that we went to. Second dive was a shore dive, I got to see turtles which was amazing!!! Day Two - Peter picked me up from my apartment and we went to the dive shop to collect the equipment then off to the dive site, when we arrived they decided to abort the dive as the conditions were too bad so they took me to the other side of the island where the conditions were better, I thought this shows the professionalism. The sites we picked were great and as at the time I was a trainee divemaster Mike the dive leader allowed me to do a little mapping and navigation planning before the dive, I thought this was a nice touch. We saw some amazing rock formations and lots of fish. By the day of my birthday I thought I have seen everything I wanted to see. I went diving and Mike was my buddy while Tim was with a open water student, the dive ended up being the best dive I had done because we saw some kind of amazing crab and just as we were heading back we saw an octopus and then from nowhere the thing I had been hoping to see on every dive was pointed out by Tim an "angel shark" I got to have my picture with it and it made my whole experience better than I would ever have imagined! I can only say if you are thinking about diving Tenerife dive with SOL SCUBA You guys were the best birthday present!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!! :o) Hey there guys,

Thank you very much for fantastic days in Atlantic ocean on Tenerife. All was super: you, turtles, a lot of fish, places of diving. More thanks for Tara and her fine smiles. And of course more thanks from Roman for your beautiful stamps with turtle. :-) You - the best! Дорогой Том, большущее спасибо тебе за фантастические дайвы в Атлантическом океане на Карибах (Тенерифе). Все было просто прекрасно: и ты - суперинструктор!; и черепахи, и места для погружений. Отдельное спасибо твоей жене Таре, она прелестная и ее улыбки заменили нам недостаток солнца. И конечно большое спасибо от Романа за твои красивые штампы с черепахой :-). Dearest Tim!

Passed my exam, 84 percent and had a great time meeting the turtles and touching them. Plus doing some bits and bobs in the sea just in case of emergencies, but that wont happen and best of all I did it with the best instructor ever, thanks Tim (and Tara) Ryan What a day i’ve had.

Scotland after a fantastic weeks diving in Tenerife. Highlight of the trip was my time with Sol Scuba. From the minute Tim picked me up until we got back to Granada Park the day was fantastic. Many Thanks If its not too much I would like to add a few comments that other divers may wish to know about your business. I can only describe the service given as a bespoke, tailor made diving experience. The professionalism of both the onshore and dive team is unquestionable. From choosing our preferred dive site to driving straight to the drop off points to the dive itself one always feels in the company of a team that have a clear knowlege of their sport, the importance of safety and preparation and a keen sense of the environment. Faultless. I love diving in the Cnaries. Its an adventure and no two days are the same. Not really for me the aquarium diving of the Red Sea. This is more raw adventure. No garantees but when a ray / grouper / tuna/octopus (need I go on) is discovered the feeling of achievement and excitement is amazing. Dont go changing Tim. Top marks all round Hi Tim and Tara,

After chatting to Peter at my apartment complex decided to go for a refresher dive. Tim took me out and after 5 mins of uneaseness, really enjoyed the dive. Very impressed with Tim and Peter's friendly and approachable nature. Going to introduce scuba diving to my 3 boys when were out next year, and will definitely be using Tim and Peter again.
