Cursos Disponibles
6 cursosOpen Water Diver
The SSI Open Water Diver course at Blue Bottom Diving certifies divers to 18 metres and follows the SSI system with digital manuals and e-learning — theory can be completed before arriving at the centre. The classroom at the Costa Adeje facility is equipped with DVD, TV, and computers for the in-person sessions. Open water dives run from Puerto Colón marina, reaching sites within 15 minutes by boat. El Puertito at 15 metres is the standard training ground: a protected bay with a sandy bottom, seagrass meadows, and green turtles that have long since stopped caring about divers. The calm conditions and manageable depth make it straightforward to work through skills without fighting the environment. Rental equipment for the course is entirely MARES — BCDs, regulators, wetsuits, masks, fins, and dive computers are included in the rental set. Children's sizes are available. Nitrox-adapted equipment is on hand if needed at a later stage. The boats carry oxygen and full safety equipment, and one captain stays on the surface throughout every dive. Blue Bottom Diving is an SSI Instructor Training Centre, which means the people running this course are working to the same standards as those who train instructors. Once certified, Open Water divers can progress to Advanced, specialty courses, or wreck and nitrox programmes — all available at the same centre.
Advanced Open Water
Blue Bottom Diving offers both the SSI Advanced Adventure and the full SSI Advanced course for certified divers looking to push beyond the Open Water limit. The centre's site selection gives Advanced students real variety: Cueva Neptuno at 24 metres combines cave navigation and drift diving in the same dive; La Caleta at 19 metres usually has current running along the wall, which makes it practical training for drift technique. The 20-plus dive sites within 15 minutes of Puerto Colón mean that Advanced students aren't repeating the same profile day after day. Volcanic walls, sandy flats with stingrays and angelsharks, a large grunt school at Roncadores del Palmar, and the cave system at Cueva Neptuno near Punta Rasca all feature in the rotation. The centre plans dives so that groups don't repeat the same site during a stay. Rental kit is MARES throughout, with a high-end tier available — Fusion 52X regulators, Dragon 2017 BCDs, and Black Edition computers — for divers who want to train with top-spec equipment. All rental sets include a dive computer as standard. Nitrox-adapted gear is available for divers already certified or training toward nitrox. The Advanced course at this centre feeds directly into Rescue, Divemaster, and specialty programmes including deep diving, wreck diving, sidemount, and cavern — all offered in-house under SSI.
Try Scuba Diving
The Try Scuba session at Blue Bottom Diving is run under the SSI system and designed to get someone in the water with zero prior experience. The centre's instructors handle everything from the briefing in the 200-metre facility to the in-water supervision, and divers don't carry equipment — the crew manages that. El Puertito is the natural setting for this first dive. The bay is anchored at 6 metres over sand and seagrass, with green turtles that regularly cruise through beginner groups. Over 50 species live in the area: seahorses, cuttlefish, nudibranches, and octopus make for a genuinely varied first look at what's down there. The centre uses current SSI materials including digital manuals and e-learning resources where applicable. Blue Bottom Diving holds SSI's recognition as their most innovative and quality centre, and the Try Scuba format reflects that — small group supervision, disinfected regulators after every use, and oxygen on the boat throughout the dive. For anyone deciding whether to go further with an Open Water course, this is the logical entry point. The site and the format are set up to give a real impression of diving, not just a controlled splash in a pool.
Divemaster
The Divemaster programme at Blue Bottom Diving runs through SSI at an Instructor Training Centre level — the same operation that trains instructors also runs the DM track, which matters for the quality of mentoring candidates receive during their internship dives. The centre operates daily excursions to over 20 sites, meaning DM candidates log real-world hours across a genuine variety of conditions and marine environments. Divemaster candidates work across the full range of Costa Adeje's site profiles: the turtle bay at El Puertito for guiding beginners, the drift conditions at La Caleta and Roncadores del Palmar, wreck dives at El Condesito, Los Gemelos, and El Meridian, and the deeper cave environment at Cueva Neptuno. The boat-based operation with crew handling equipment logistics gives candidates a clear picture of how a professional centre actually runs. The facility covers more than 200 metres including classroom, MARES LAB technical service area, equipment storage, and a full rental fleet of 25-plus MARES sets. DM candidates are working inside an active commercial operation with an established MARES technical service component — useful background for anyone planning to work in dive tourism. SSI's professional network spans over 200,000 professionals worldwide, and completing Divemaster at an SSI Instructor Training Centre provides a recognised entry point into that network. The centre's stated philosophy — safety, quality, and service — runs through the DM training as the standard candidates are expected to maintain and eventually deliver.
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.

Las dudas más habituales de quienes están a punto de reservar
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.
