Diving Canarias

Diving Canarias operates from Radazul on Tenerife's east coast, next to the nautical club and marina, and is owned and run by Alejandro "Ale" Armas. The centre holds SSI Instructor Training Center status and covers the standard recreational ladder, Try Dive through Scuba Diver, Open Water, Advanced, Deep Diving, and Nitrox. What genuinely sets it apart is a technical line most neighbouring shops don't run: open-circuit and rebreather (CCR) diving, extended-range training, and depths to -100m, backed by a real Mares Horizon rebreather sold on-site rather than a marketing mention. The centre's own copy frames Radazul as a deliberate choice specifically for its depth, alongside easy sea access and good year-round conditions, and states it stays ready to adapt to rebreathers or any other innovation without dismissing traditional open-circuit diving. An on-site shop sells and rents BCDs, computers, dry suits, wetsuits, rebreathers, regulators, and cylinders, plus smaller accessories like line cutters, rounding the centre out as both a dive school and equipment retailer.

Diving Canarias holds a 5.0 average on Google across 186 reviews, a large and strong current signal. A separate TripAdvisor listing carries 4.9 across 31 reviews, though the written text there dates mostly from 2016 to 2021, with nothing more recent scraped this pass. What's visible from that older sample is consistently positive: instructor quality, safety, and the night-diving experience specifically draw praise, with Ale and instructor Marjorie both named directly and warmly by reviewers. Given the gap between TripAdvisor's dated text and the much larger, current Google rating, the Google figure is the better read on how the centre is doing today.
