Ocean Friends combines real ocean knowledge with a warm, personal and respectful way to enjoy Tenerife's marine life.

We do not turn the ocean into a show. We observe it, understand it and help you experience it with calm, curiosity and respect.

Every tour is shaped by the sea, the wildlife and the conditions of the day. That is what makes it real.

“Great experience. Helped me with booking and communicated with me well from the beginning. Diving instructor was great fun, looked after us well and was an amazing experience. Highly recommend to anyone. We are staying in the golf Der sur area and got a local bus to Las Galletas- very easy! 5*”
