Teneriffe

[Divemeister71]

Hi All,

after reports and pictures from Tim Ingmire and me newly joining YD, I thought its time to say my bit about diving in Teneriffe.

my buddy Alun Bidmead booked diving and accomodation and I did not really know or care much about where I was going, until Alun discovered he lost his passport and could not make the trip...

On arrival in Teneriffe I was greeted at the airport by Rebecca from Ocean Quest Divers. Her partner Michael runs the underwater show and took us diving the next day. Ocean Quest prefer small groups and there were never more then 4 of us in the water on any dive. On day three we were joined by Tim and his impressive camera. As I have just discovered the joys of underwater photography myself, Tim and I quickly got into serious competition for the best spot and the best motif!

Michael and Rebecca were absolutely awesome, really looked after us, always had cold beer in the frigde and did not mind us sitting in their living room until late, doing "dive talk". There was lots to see in the water and the divesites where easy to get to and easy to dive. According to Michael, he had a boat before he had a bicycle and when you see the man in the water, you do not doubt it for one second! The accomodation was very good and far away from the hustle and bustle of Las Americas, where the actual dive centre is situated.

I am already planning another week in Teneriffe later in the year and can only recommend Ocean Quest. They were friendly and professional and made my stay in teneriffe an absolute pleasure!

Next I will try diving in Cologne where I live. I hear they have some nice quarries nearby...

Thank for the info. This time in 4 weeks I will be there and I am looking forward to it. The more I hear about Michael and Rebecca the better and better it all sounds.

Hi Norman,

It was a pleasure diving with you mate. I reckon on the face kicking competition you're up by one - how about a re-match?

If you want to post some piccies, there is a sticky on the photography forum explaining how to do it. Let us know if you have any further probs.

Mmm, I predict that you won't be having any of that localised underwater storm stuff again. Hey, Norm?

I think you are right there Tim and it is flat calm at this side at the moment as well, so me thinks I may get lucky. I´ll let you know how I got on and post the pics on here. By the way, have you sorted through the Fotos, that you have taken ............. me wants to have a look at them. Been great fun with you, but I think, that I have to get a cupple of manifolds for twinning up the 12´s and that will give us the time to wait for the sand to settle

Take care

Michael
