How it all began
How Snorkel Tenerife Excursions Was Born
It all began about six and a half years ago when our paths crossed through a shared love for the sea. Ron, an experienced diving instructor, and Rafaella, having just completed her professional training in Tenerife to become a Divemaster, worked together at the same diving centre.
From that connection, love blossomed — and so did the dream of starting something of our own. We chose to specialise exclusively in snorkelling because we believe it is the vital «first step» into the underwater world. While we are both passionate divers, our mission today is to make the ocean accessible to everyone.
«What truly drives us is supporting those who feel hesitant or fearful of the water. We pour all our enthusiasm and care into helping beginners overcome their doubts, turning anxiety into wonder.»
— Rafaella & Ron, Founders
We believe no one should miss out on the beauty of marine life due to fear. We are here to guide you and share the magic that lies just beneath the surface.
