We came a group 7 people for a stag party, did scuba dive in Las vistas beach. It has been a really fantastic activity, but what was the best were the stuff, pleasant and friendly, having 4 instructor to take care of us under the water. To conclude the 5 stars activity, they’ve invited to a paint to us in a expectaciones terrace in top of their local. Thanks so much, definitely we will come back.

Today I took a trydive at Oceans dreams Los Christianos with my little brother.
Short summary:
super friendly, comfortabele and not trying tot rip you off.
Long version:
Usually I only read reviews and let others do the writing. But this diveschool just deserves one extra.
I got in touch with this diveschool by means of a extremely cheap offer. A trydive for 2 people. My expectations were low since the price was so cheap. My brother and I are Dutch so they even arranged a Dutch speaking instructor named Rense. After explaining al instructions and safety regulations we got the equipment (good quality) and stepped in the van. My wife and baby and even the stroller could ride along for free. In the water Rense was very professional and made us enjoy the dive to the fullest. What a beautifull species you can see here on Tenerife. We Saw many kinds and schools of fish. We Saw squids an octopus and Rense even gave us a small crab species on our hand. Rense kept checking if we were okay and that made it possible for us to enjoy and look around. After the dive we were brought back to the diveschool. I was expecting offers to buy photos or some other offer to try and make us spend money but that was not the case. These guys were genuinly friendly. I still cant believe the experience we got for the price. But when i go for my open water padi it is definetely going to be here. To set things straight. I dont mind paying money. I Just dont like that pushing. The whole Day on the beach and around restaurants people are pushing you to spend your money with them. Oceans dreams Los Christianos is different. They just want their customers to enjoy.

If you are need of a hostel, whether you are a diver or not, this place is one of the better locations to stay, there is another hostel practically next door which I will not name which can only be referred to as "a smelly prison camp" which I would consider poor value.
Good things:
Pretty much next door to the sea.
Friendly staff, many of which were boarded here.
The terrace where it is very easy to make friends.
Kitchen facilities, albeit only with a microwave to heat food.
There's an outdoor grilling area.
A place to hang your wet items of clothing.
Hector, one of the live-in staff will do your laundry for €10 or sometimes less depending on various factors.
Three Shower cubicles inside a changing room.
Option to purchase earplugs and eye mask for a tiny fee.
Beds are relatively comfortable and can be asked to be made with fresh bedding if asked.
Clean and fresh smelling toilets.
No bad smells
Had homely touches.
Plug sockets for device charging.
Plenty of ashtrays and smoking is allowed on the terrace.
Bring your own food and beer, as long as alcohol is consumed on the terrace only.
Great shops and amenities nearby.
& many more.
Bad things:
Poor sound and light insolation between the room and the outside balcony/walkway (I recommend ear plugs and eye mask).
Noisy due to idling ferries and construction work outside at no fault of the owners, I should add.
The water line was cut off, probably due to the construction work.
There was no information about towel rental, but that is my own fault for not asking nor bringing a towel.
Showers can be cold depending on the weather and time of day (understandable due to the climate).
Lockers look like they could be easily broken into, but there is plenty of CCTV and there is a lot of trust between staff and the guests.
Needs lockers in the changing/shower room.
Some people were smoking cannabis, although not an issue to me, the signs clearly stated that no drugs were to be smoked on the premises. (I am aware that the laws on cannabis are a lot more relaxed than in the UK.)
Some of my bad points may not be fair as I am inexperienced with hostels, but I will definitely come back.
Did not use any of the diving offers as I cannot swim, but maybe I'll give it a go in the future. (Hostel guests get a discount).

My daughter and I did 2 OW dives here. Good kit, great guide, friendly professional service. Likely we will return for more dives. Very reasonable prices.

Not great value. Faulty gear and they charged the 4 of us €60 extra for a 5 minute drive to an alternative beach dive site. They called the dive off early after only 20 minutes and I still had 130 bar left. One regular was leaking and the BCD inflation button was stuck. The leaking regulator was brought to there attention and they where still happy to go ahead with the dive.
