BOX-FISH - Dive Shop

When you walk into BOX-FISH in Costa del Silencio, you know you're in a serious store: their physical store is located at 2 Chasna Street, Costa Sol Building, Unit 2, and their online space serves as an extension of what you see when you walk in. What I like most about BOX-FISH is that they truly have "everything" for diving, freediving, snorkeling, and spearfishing: from masks, regulators, and wetsuits to technical equipment like dive computers and underwater photography accessories. You can come with a basic idea or a specific need, and they'll probably have it or can get it quickly.

Another thing that sets them apart is their pricing: many people agree that their prices are among the most competitive in Europe for this type of equipment. It's not uncommon to see online prices that are more convincing than those of other similar stores, and they combine that with a home delivery service, which is great if you're on another island or far away.

Additionally, they offer equipment rental, which is very useful if you just want to dive a few times without carrying a full kit, or if you want to try something out before buying it. The physical inventory is large, so you can see and try it out when you visit. You also get professional support: staff with in-depth technical knowledge, which is a great help if you don't know which regulator to choose or what wetsuit size is right for you.

The hours are reasonable for those who combine diving with leisure: open Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons, and Saturday mornings; closed on Sundays. Everyone mentions the customer service, the fast delivery, the variety of official brands, and the fact that you feel taken care of even if you're not an advanced user.

If I had to choose a couple of key points that make me prefer BOX-FISH over another dive shop in Tenerife, they would be: its balance between price and quality, the variety of technical equipment, and the fact that you can rent if you don't want to buy something expensive upfront. It's one of those shops that works well for both those who only dive occasionally and those who want to build serious equipment.
