Snorkeling Tenerife

For those who don’t know it, snorkeling is a type of diving on the surface of the water. It is usually practiced with goggles, a breathing tube, and flippers. There are different shapes and styles, even masks, but they all have in common that they allow you to see the seabed clearly. It is the prelude to diving in Tenerife, but it is a great way to get to know the seabed of the island. Tenerife is not only a beautiful island on its surface; if you decide to dive, you will discover a huge variety of species that you have never seen before. In addition, for those who practice snorkeling and diving, our island is one of the favorite places for many fans of these sports.
