What sets us apart from other dive centres is that our home is in the harbour at Santa Pola, right in the harbour. The only thing between us and the water is a stretch of pavement and a couple of plants…unless you go the long way round past the bar, which is around 10 metres away!
Not only are we just 10 minutes from Alicante airport, we're the only PADI 5 star Instructor Development Centre (IDC) in the area. Is that important? Well, yes, the good looks of our team can only take us so far...
Being a PADI 5 Star IDC Centre means we are at the very top of our game - whilst we want you to have fun, we ensure that you enjoy whatever you're doing with us in a relaxed yet professional environment.
With more than 10 years' experience diving the clear, warm waters of the Mediterranean we offer pretty much everything you could ever want diving-wise and welcome hundreds of complete beginners and regular guests every year.
For those of you that don't dive (and for 'little people'), our Snorkel Safaris are amazingly popular. We provide the kit, all you need to do is to bring along lunch and a towel. We'll help you discover what life is like under the waves in the Marine Reserve of the island of Tabarca, a short boat ride from our centre.
