Diving in Tenerife is a wonderful experience with plenty of fish life. A particular favourite dive site of ours is called Roncadores Del Faro. There is always a large shoal of Roncadores or Grunts in English (pomadasys incisus). They remain in the territory they have established and are indifferent to the presence of divers. When caught and taken out of the water, it makes a sound a bit like a snore, which is the origin of its common name (Roncador means snorer in Spanish). |

From November until around April is the season for Angel Shark (Squatina squatina) or Angelote in Spanish. They lie motionless on the sandy bottom and only the sharp eyed diver will spot them. The angel shark is not usually a danger to divers, but if aroused can sometimes act in a threatening manner. |

What a brilliant way to spend the last few days of 2004, diving in Tenerife. Whilst the U.K. was very wet and windy, we had warm sunshine. On the right is Monika, Martin and David and on the left Charlotte, Ricardo and his 3 friends. Congratulations to Monika
who spent 7 weeks with us completing her PADI
Divemaster Course. Whilst
Monika was busy with her course, partner Martin really got into
diving and completed both the Open water and advanced open water
courses. Best wishes to you both for the future. |

 Enriched
air diving (NITROX) is becoming more popular with divers as
they become aware of the benefits of diving with a richer mix
of oxygen. Agua Tenerife Diving Centre are the only British
centre in the South of the island to pump Nitrox onsite. |

We have two smiling faces here of Marika & Jasper who enjoyed a day of diving. Especially our famous feeding of the rays dive site. |

A fairly rare species seen here in Tenerife is the Spotted Burrfish (Chilomycterus reticulates). To defend itself from predators it swells up, and with its body covered in spines it looks very threatening.
