Bautizo de buceo

The Discover Scuba session at Diving Canarias in Radazul is a three-hour introduction that takes place in one of the most diver-friendly bays in Tenerife. Maximum depth is 12 metres. The bay is sheltered year-round, so conditions are typically calm regardless of when you show up — no hunting for a good-weather window.

No prior experience is required and there are no prerequisites. The three-hour format covers basic equipment familiarisation, the fundamental skills needed to breathe underwater, and then time in the water itself with an instructor alongside you. The 12-metre limit keeps it accessible while still getting you properly beneath the surface.

For those who want to continue after the Bautizo, the centre offers a discounted route into the full SSI Open Water certification — the Open Water course with prior Bautizo is listed at €345, versus the standard price. So if you're unsure whether you want to commit to a full course, starting here makes practical sense.

The centre is 30 metres from the beach in Radazul, which means gear-up and entry are as simple as it gets. Dives run from shore, so there's no boat logistics on top of an already new experience.
