Whale and Dolphin watching now in Las Galletas October 21, 2009

Posted by NewsMan in : News , 1 comment so far

For those of you who don’t know there are permanently resident pods of Pilot whales and Dolphins between here and La Gomera, the next of the Canary Islands if you head west and north a bit.   There are a number of boats which run trips out to see these animals with most of the boats based  in Puerto Colon. With the opening of the  harbour here in Las Galletas the owners of the Muscat have decided to relocate.

Now I will freely admit that I have been a bit anti these trips in the past, partly as Puerto Colon is a bit of a pain to get to from Las Galletas and I’m not into booze cruises, which some operators run them as.  

Having said that I’ve changed my mind. The guys on the Muscat know what they are doing and it’s a good way to see these animals and blow off gas at the same time.

Before any of you ask we can’t run the RIB out there to dive with them sorry

If anybody fancies a trip drop let us know as we have negociated special prices for Tenerife Scuba customers.

If your coming over to Tenerife and bringing the little one/s with you and fancy a dive or three what do you do with them while you are busy blowing bubbles?

For those who would like to we now have access to a local nursery, two mins walks, from the office.

Is it any any good?

Well put it this way that’s were our little (18mth) monster goes during the day.

Drop us an email/call for more details

Simon and Kathrin both experienced divers joined us for a week having chosen to dive with TenerifeScuba over other local centers. Having done this we felt duty bound to show them a good time…. ha ha !!! Experienced divers are great in that it mean you can relax a little more and also do dives which are a little more challenging.

Simon who arrived Sea and Sea camera in hand took some 650 pickies during the week the following are a taster of what happened.
