About the Center

Blue Bottom Diving, located in Costa Adeje, Spain, is a PADI and SSI certified dive center. 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. Their philosophy is based on Safety, Quality, and Service, providing personalized attention to each client.

Blue Bottom Diving is proud to have been awarded the most innovative and quality center prize by SSI. Their internationally diverse team of instructors shares a unified passion for providing high-quality service. The center utilizes SSI training and teaching systems, including modern technologies like digital manuals and e-learning, adapting to the needs of each recreational diver.

The facilities at Blue Bottom Diving are extensive, covering over 200 square meters. These include an equipped classroom, changing rooms with hot water showers, a dive equipment shop featuring MARES gear and technical service, an equipment rinsing area with tubs for cameras, and a terrace with sea views for enjoying videos and photos. They also cater to groups and clubs wishing to complete courses with their own instructors.

Especialidad Barcos Hundidos

Blue Bottom Diving includes three wrecks in its usual dive rotation: El Condesito, Los Gemelos, and El Meridian. The Wreck Specialty uses these wrecks as a training ground, offering students dives on real structures instead of purpose-built training environments. The centre describes the wrecks as 'fascinating windows into the past', a pretty apt description for remains that have already had time to become true artificial reefs. The specialty follows the SSI programme and covers the principles of responsible wreck penetration, buoyancy control around fragile structures, navigation and guiding techniques. The wrecks off Costa Adeje vary in profile, giving the course practical range across different entry points, depths and internal configurations. Boats reach the wrecks as part of the daily trip programme: the same logistics and safety device applies as on all guided dives. Oxygen and first aid kit are on board, a skipper remains on the surface, and the centre’s crew handles equipment pre and post-dive. Rental gear is available, including both aluminium and steel MARES cylinders. For those who want to progress towards technical wreck diving, the centre also offers the Sidemount and XR Nitrox specialties, which naturally combine with more advanced penetration work on larger structures.

SSI Stress & Rescue / SSI Rescue

Blue Bottom Diving imparte tanto el curso SSI Stress & Rescue como el curso completo SSI Rescue, cubriendo el manejo de emergencias y las técnicas de rescate de buceadores bajo el sistema SSI. El centro tiene la categoría de Instructor Training Centre, lo que significa que la formación en rescate se imparte con los mismos estándares que se aplican en la formación de nivel profesional. Las instalaciones respaldan los componentes prácticos: más de 200 metros de superficie, vestuarios independientes y un aula con equipo audiovisual para las sesiones de repaso de escenarios. Los barcos llevan oxígeno, botiquín de primeros auxilios y equipo de seguridad de serie: el mismo material que los estudiantes aprenden a usar en la formación de rescate está presente en cada inmersión. Rescue es un requisito previo para Divemaster en Blue Bottom Diving, y el curso está estructurado para conectar directamente con la vía profesional. En el centro también está disponible la formación de Primeros Auxilios para quienes necesiten ese componente como parte de su itinerario de certificación en Rescue. Los puntos de inmersión utilizados para la práctica de rescate en aguas abiertas incluyen condiciones variadas: tanto La Caleta, con su corriente habitual, como el perfil más profundo de Cueva Neptuno, aparecen en la rotación del centro para estudiantes de nivel avanzado, dando a los candidatos de rescate experiencia en la gestión de situaciones en entornos realistas y no controlados.

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.
