5.00I had an amazing experience with Barbarian Diving Tenerife and can honestly say it was one of the highlights of my trip. From the very first contact, the team was super professional, friendly, and helpful. Everything was well organised, and they made the whole experience feel safe and relaxed from start to finish. The instructors are clearly very experienced and passionate about diving, and they take the time to explain everything in a calm and easy-to-understand way. The dive sites around Los Cristianos were absolutely stunning. We saw incredible marine life including turtles, rays, and so many fish , truly unforgettable! The groups were small, which made the experience feel very personal and allowed us to fully enjoy each dive. The equipment was in excellent condition, and you can tell they really care about safety and quality. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced diver, this is the perfect place to dive in Tenerife. A special thank you to Sergio and the whole team for creating such a fun and memorable experience. I will definitely be back! If you’re looking for the best scuba diving in Tenerife, Barbarian Diving is the place to go.

5.00I completed my OWD, AOWD, and Nitrox certifications with Barbarian Diving Tenerife and genuinely can’t recommend them enough. Sergio and Kathleen are super friendly, knowledgeable, and make you feel comfortable from the very start. The dive centre is perfectly located in the centre of Los Cristianos, with many different dive sites either nearby or just a short drive away. All the equipment is in pristine condition, and there is a strong focus on safety, comfort, and an overall great diving experience. Thank you again for the amazing diving experience, I hope to return soon!
Much more than diving, an unforgettable thrill

5.00There are experiences that are not forgotten... and then there are those that touch your soul 💙 What we experienced with Barbarian Diving was much more than diving. It was feeling cared for, accompanied and calm at all times. From the beginning we knew we were in the best hands, but what we didn’t imagine was how special it was going to be. Catherine and Sky... I don't have enough words. Thank you for your sweetness, for your infinite patience, for looking at us with that tranquility that makes you release all fears. You made us feel safe, but above all, you made us feel important. And Sergio... thanks for that first conversation that changed everything. Without knowing us, you already conveyed confidence, closeness and professionalism. It was the first step of something really precious. We take a lot more than just an activity, we take emotions, memories and a hard-to-explain feeling... of those that stay with you forever. Thank you for making it so human, so special, so unforgettable. We would return one and a thousand times 💙🌊
Amazing SCUBA Dive Experience!

5.00This was the best way I could have started into the diving hobby. My friend asked me, if I wanted to do a Try-Dive during our vacation. I ended up doing the scuba dive certificate with Kathi in two dives, with plans to expand that to the open water diver certification. I am hooked! I had no prior experience with SCUBA diving and a healthy amount of nervousness going into the course. Sergio and especially Kathi were amazing and helped me get so confident with the technical side and safety of diving. Getting to know the equipment, the procedures during decent and ascension, effects of pressure, buoyancy and dive-timing. I felt thoroughly informed and 100% safe during the dives. Thanks to the great one-on-one training, I did not feel clueless underwater and it really got intuitive fast. The dives themselves were such a dreamy experience. Kathi and Jakub (training dive master) took me to a depth of 10 meters and showed me the marine life of Tenerife. Many different kind of fish, an octopus, squids, crabs and so much more. They were always next to me, showing me special animals, checking on my well-being and doing safety exercises with me. Both dives were about 50 min long, with a break in between to change equipment, ask questions, eat some snacks and get some tips. My friend was doing a deeper dive to 30 m from a boat and saw different rays and swarms of barracuda. It was magical! After the dive they helped me set up my SSI account, we talked again over the theory and I got extensive training material to do the certification theory in my own time. Kathi and Sergio at Barbarian Diving made this vacation into something really special for me. They are so easy going and professional. You really can feel they want to give you the best experience possible, as they are passionate about diving and the ocean! A clear recommendation from me, I could not have asked for a better experience!

5.00Second time in Tenerife and second time spending all possible diving days with Barbarian Diving! Had amazing dives with both Kathy and Sergio. We are unexperienced divers, logged 28 dives now and 20 of them with Barbarian Diving, and we learned a lot of them! After diving with Barbarian Diving we became a lot more confident and had a lot of fun! They know where it's the highest possible change of spotting sea life such as angel sharks, sea turtles, rays and big schools of fish. Went boat diving, night diving and did a lot of shore dives. I recommend Barbarian Diving if you’re looking for dives that fit your needs. They really respect your limits and comfort level.
A scuba diving experience that’s out of this world

5.00After my experience at Barbarian Diving, I can't help but write a rave review. From start to finish the service was excellent. The material? Brand new. No worn out gear or questionable equipment - everything in top condition. What really sets Barbarian Diving apart is that they deliberately work with small groups. No mass diving where you are treated as a number, but personal attention from the instructor. You have space, you feel safe, and you actually learn something. I must admit: my planning was quite chaotic. Rescheduling appointments, last-minute changes... they could have easily fobbed me off. Instead, they went to all the trouble in the world to help me and keep everything running smoothly. Now that's customer focus. The prices are also very reasonable for what you get. And as the icing on the cake, they film your dive underwater - beautiful images that you get home as a keepsake. Professional, flexible, and passionate about the sport. Barbarian Diving deserves every star.
