LJ Diving Tenerife

LJ Diving Tenerife is a small, two-person operation run from Marina Del Sur in Las Galletas by Ludo, the instructor and technical director, and Julie, a divemaster who also handles day-to-day management. The centre brands itself around individual rather than group attention, and its try-dive product reflects that directly: baptism dives are run one-on-one, with no fixed time limit, instead of being folded into a group circuit. Certified divers from any training agency are welcome for guided fun dives. A typical day runs two morning dives, at 09:00 and 11:30, with a coffee break back at the centre between them, using a private boat moored around 100 metres from the 140-square-metre premises. Group sizes are kept deliberately small throughout, a detail reviewers mention as often as the personal welcome itself. Free photos and video come included with dives and courses, and equipment rental runs at 20 euros a day for divers without their own gear. Course options span the standard PADI ladder from Try Dive through Divemaster, plus Wreck, Deep, Nitrox, and Underwater Photography specialties, alongside FFESSM/CMAS levels 1 through 3 for divers on the French system. Booking runs on roughly a 40 percent deposit, and the centre takes bank transfer or cash only, no cards.

LJ Diving carries a striking review volume for a two-person team: 5.0 out of 5 across 900 Google ratings and 1,141 on TripAdvisor, ranking it second of 193 Tours & Activities operators in Arona. Reviews through mid-2026 consistently and warmly name Julie and Ludo together, describing a personal, unhurried welcome that matches the centre's individual-attention positioning. Several reviewers are first-time divers doing a baptism dive, more than one saying they felt comfortable quickly under Julie and Ludo's guidance. The owners are known for replying personally to reviews, including in Spanish, which fits the same hands-on approach the diving itself is built around.
