Active recreation
Some of the most popular water activities on the island are surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing and diving. There are a large number of decent schools with professional instructors throughout the Canary Islands.
On almost every Tenerife beach, you can easily find equipment rental shops. Also, there is the opportunity to make surf tours to the best places for practising a certain sport: whether it be surfing, windsurfing, diving or snorkelling.
For divers, it is worth mentioning that the local flora and fauna are strikingly different from the popular spots with vibrant coral reefs. Diving in Tenerife is a unique experience that attracts divers with its volcanic bottom with caves and caverns, sunken pirate ships, and rich underwater flora and fauna. Most dives take place in the south of the island, as the ocean is calmer here, and there are no waves as strong as in the north.
