Submarine Safaris have been operating their excursion for about the passed 12mths, and it seems to be getting more and more popular. All ages are experiencing the underwater world without a snorkel in sight. We decided to take a trip down to the harbor and find out what all the fuss was about.
We arrived at the marina, around 11.45, and had booked onto the 12pm dive. I had my three children with me, who were very excited about the whole experience. There is a pleasant cafe-bar where you can wait for the sub, and take in the views of the harbor.

First its the photo, which is included in the trip, and a great way to remember the experience. Then down the porthole, and into the submarine. This was a little tricky with the children, and a bit more help would have been well appreciated, but we managed to get on and sat contently infront of our very own underwater world.
As the rest of our party boarded, we sat and watched the marine life flicker passed our windows. The children were in a world of there own, with faces frozen and eyes like saucers. The boarding doors were firmly closed, and we were then greeted by our guide. As the Sub began to move, it was very hard to figure out exactly which way you were heading, the help of a small TV screen under your window, allowed you to view the world from above. It is a very gentle experience, and there are no sudden drops or movements. The guide is extremely encyclopedic about marine life, and talks you through every passing life form. Once we were fully submerged, it wasn´t long before we reached some small sunken boats, and an underwater world. The submarine safari team even send down divers to perform a spectacular live show, with full size stingrays, feeding them infront on your marine window.
The whole trip was a great experience, and the children were thrilled with the whole trip. Tenerife has some great attractions, but this is definalty one to beat. Not only is the whole trip great value, but it's a once in a lifetime adventure, only to be had from Submarine safaris and the island of Tenerife.
Business Pages Tenerife gives this excursion the 5 star rating.
