About
Big Fish sits directly on Las Vistas Beach, close enough to the water that the walk from the shop to the sea takes under a couple of minutes. The centre runs a single RIB, the Valiant DR 750, a 12-person boat chosen specifically for stability and space rather than speed, a deliberate contrast with the smaller, faster pontoon boats used elsewhere on this stretch of coast. Team bios lean into personal detail: Marcos, the CEO, arrived on the island from Barcelona more than seven years ago; Luca has logged over 5,000 dives across five-plus years as an instructor; Greg, ex-military and from Poland, has taught here just as long. Both boat and shore dives run with professional guides, reaching Las Vistas Beach itself, the cave at Palm Mar known locally as Cueva de Juanito, and the wrecks at El Condesito and El Meridian. Dedicated programmes exist specifically for beginners, kids, and seniors, alongside the standard PADI course ladder, and free transport covers every departure point. No exact founding year is published; the site simply describes the current premises as recently renovated.
What divers say
Big Fish holds a 4.8 average across 366 TripAdvisor reviews, the most recent dated the end of 2025. Instructors get named individually and often. Luli, matching the team roster exactly, guided a father and son with no previous open-water experience through their first ocean dive. One review specifically called out the pricing as straightforward, with no hidden extras added once a package was booked. More than one guest mentioned coming back to Tenerife on a later trip specifically to dive with the team again.
