Course Location
Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, is located west of Africa and southwest of the coast of Morocco. Being on the same latitude as the Sahara Desert, Tenerife enjoys warm weather year-round. The island itself is of volcanic origin, and Mount Teide is the highest mountain in Spain and the third largest volcano in the world. A hike to the volcano can be part of our trip, if you wish. The volcanic origins of Tenerife are also evident underwater, with numerous caves and depressions. The island boasts a diverse landscape – the south features a desert-like region, while just a few kilometers to the north you can find lush, green forests, impressive cliffs, and breathtaking views. The warm and clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean allow for year-round freediving. In March, the water temperature is 20-21 degrees Celsius, and the air temperature is 22-30 degrees Celsius. Our training spot is located in the bay of Tabayba, 14 km from the island’s capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The island has two international airports – Tenerife South and Tenerife North. Tabayba is located 52 km from the South Airport and 17 km from the North Airport. Bus service, taxis, or car rentals are available. Training takes place in the beautiful and sheltered bay of Tabayba. The bay offers ideal natural conditions for freediving, including excellent visibility. The freediving spot is protected from wind, waves, and currents. Depths near the shore range from 20m to 100m.
Accommodation: We offer assistance in booking apartments located just a few meters from the ocean and the freediving spot, with stunning sea views. The apartments are equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, dryer, and internet. There are several restaurants, cafes, and a grocery store in the same building. Guests have free access to the local sports club (gym, pool, tennis court, bar, and restaurant) and free Wi-Fi.
