Best Time to Dive in Garachico ☀️
Water temperatures in Tenerife usually range between 19°C and 24°C, depending on the season.
In the north of Tenerife, conditions can vary more than in the south, so it is always important to check the sea before planning the dive.
👉 The best months are usually from April to October, when the sea tends to be calmer and visibility can be better.
If you are looking for a more sheltered area on days with variable sea conditions, you can also consider diving in Radazul.
