Whale and Dolphin watching now in Las Galletas October 21, 2009
Posted by NewsMan in : News , 1 comment so farFor 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.

Posted by TheBoss in : Customers , 1 comment so farSimon 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.

.It does rain here every so often for 1/2 a day but if you forget to take the boat coat you can always improvise and look like a complete idiot like me!Diving Tenerife – Ian and Deirdre August 2009 September 8, 2009
Posted by TheBoss in : Customers , add a commentTime for a few posts …sorry been a bit quiet recently on the posting front…. but I’ve been busy…..!!
.
.
Ian and Deirdre from the emerald isle joined us for a weeks worth of fun and training…. well for Ian anyway. Having originally learnt to dive at university Ian’s training record was a little patchy …I pleased to say we sorted that out with Ian getting his open water qualification. Deirdre just enjoyed the diving, and acted as a temp certification holder ….different!

Tabiba celibrates recovery of Allan’s lost fin-Strap July August 10, 2009
Posted by TheBoss in : Customers, Uncategorized , add a commentOk maybe a slight exageration…..A number of us had gone to Tabiba, East cost of Tenerife, to do a couple of dives one late afternoon the other as a nite dive. Tabiba is home to the wreck of El Raton an ocean going tug. What none of us had realised was that night Tabiba were holding their fiesta to the Vigin Mary along with fireworks and decorated boats.
.
.
So first dive and there was a slight “Oh no not again” as we encountered more trigger fish but they seemed more curious this time , rather than trying to head butt any of us.
.
.
So we sat around awaiting for sunset watching the festivities and entered the water at about 9.30pm. Bimbling around the top of wreck at about 25m we started hearing low dull thuds … what the ?? …looking at each other….and then looking up at the surface we saw great patches of first white then yellow ??? Then suddenly it twigged what we were hearing and seeing were fireworks being set off some 1.5 Km away!! This went on for some 20mins and some of us surfaced just in time to see the end of the firework display.
Definatley a first for me and everyone else on the dive.
Neil, Nick, Allan & Dolphins – July August 2, 2009
Posted by TheBoss in : Customers , add a commentI don’t know what we do to people but despite our best efforts they keep coming back….!!! These three repribates experienced divers all just love it here. What a week/10 days….so without further delay…with new resturants opened in the harbour it’s now a short step off the boat to get food and drinks.
Trigger fish can be a little territorial as they found out at Neptunes Cave when three of the little darlings refused to leave them alone.

Lots of the usual suspects Big Atlantic Rays, Roncadores and then something special.
The guys were just droping down the anchor line to dive the Meridian and Andy was on the surface when a pair of Dolphins came towards the boat. I told Andy who sped down the line to tell the others. The pair of Dolphins then stayed around the boat buzzing the divers for about 20 mins.
.
An unreal dive was everyone comments.
