It offers a comprehensive range of courses, from Discover Scuba Diving to the Instructor Development Course, also including technical diving and snorkeling. The facilities include showers, a bar, a classroom, equipment rental, and a dive shop.
The center is distinguished by its boat diving activities and guided dives. They offer air fills (nitrox) and are equipped for boat diving, with their vessels featuring all necessary maritime safety equipment.

Blue Bottom Diving is proud to have been awarded the most innovative and quality center prize by SSI.

SSI Stress & Rescue / SSI Rescue
Blue Bottom Diving runs both the SSI Stress & Rescue and the full SSI Rescue course, covering emergency management and diver rescue techniques under the SSI system. The centre holds Instructor Training Centre status, which means the rescue training is delivered to the same standards applied in professional-level instruction. The facility's setup supports the practical components: more than 200 metres of floor space, separate changing areas, and a classroom with audiovisual equipment for the scenario review sessions. Boats carry oxygen, first aid kits, and safety equipment as standard — the same gear students learn to use in rescue training is present on every dive. Rescue is a prerequisite for Divemaster at Blue Bottom Diving, and the course is structured to connect directly into the professional track. First Aid training is also available at the centre for divers who need that component as part of their Rescue certification pathway. The dive sites used for open-water rescue practice include varied conditions — La Caleta with its typical current and Cueva Neptuno's deeper profile both appear in the centre's rotation for advanced-level students, giving rescue candidates experience managing situations in realistic rather than controlled environments.
Especialidad Barcos Hundidos (Wreck Diving)
Blue Bottom Diving runs three wreck sites as part of its regular dive rotation: El Condesito, Los Gemelos, and El Meridian. The wreck specialty course uses these pecios as its training ground, giving students dives on real structures rather than purpose-built training environments. The centre describes wrecks as 'fascinating windows to the past' — which is accurate enough for pecios that have had time to become functioning artificial reefs. The specialty follows the SSI programme and covers the principles of responsible wreck penetration, buoyancy management around fragile structures, navigation, and line techniques. The Costa Adeje wrecks vary in profile, which gives the course practical range across different entry points, depths, and internal configurations. Boats reach the wreck sites as part of the daily excursion schedule — the same logistics and safety setup used for all guided dives apply here. Oxygen and first aid are on board, one captain stays on the surface, and the centre's crew handles equipment before and after the dive. Rental equipment including MARES tanks in both aluminium and steel configurations is available. For divers who want to extend into technical wreck diving, the centre also offers sidemount and XR Nitrox specialty courses, which pair naturally with more advanced penetration work on larger structures.

Frequently asked
What people ask before booking
Yes — every rental set at Blue Bottom Diving includes a dive computer as standard. The full fleet is MARES, with over 25 complete sets from XXS to XXL including children's sizes. A high-end tier is also available with Fusion 52X regulators, Dragon 2017 BCDs, and Black Edition computers.
Yes. The centre offers XR Nitrox as a specialty course, and rental equipment is adapted to EN144-3 nitrox standards. Tanks include both aluminium (7L and 12L) and steel cylinders.
The centre is based at Puerto Colón in Costa Adeje. Over 20 sites are within 15 minutes by boat. El Puertito is 10 minutes away, Roncadores del Palmar 14 minutes, Playa Paraíso 12 minutes northwest, and Cueva Neptuno around 20 minutes south near Punta Rasca.
Yes on both counts. The centre offers Try Scuba (bautismo) sessions and the SSI Scuba Diver course for first-timers. Children's wetsuit sizes are available in the rental fleet, and El Puertito — the standard beginner site — is a calm, shallow bay with resident green turtles that works well for first dives.
Three wrecks are on the regular programme: El Condesito, Los Gemelos, and El Meridian. A wreck diving specialty course is also available through SSI. Whether you want a guided dive on the pecios or want to formalise your wreck skills, both are on offer.
Yes — the centre explicitly accommodates groups and clubs arriving with their own instructors. They provide facilities and staff support to complete courses run under external supervision, covering all levels of the SSI programme.
Each boat carries radio, GPS, depth sounder, mobile phone, oxygen, a first aid kit, a safety bottle, and spare diving equipment. One captain remains on the surface throughout every dive. Regulators are disinfected after each use.
