Charly-Sub: A Family of Divers in Pineda de Mar

On Spain's coast in Pineda de Mar, Charly-Sub is a PADI 5 Star IDC centre run by a family of divers whose technical team brings many years of experience, both in the water and in underwater teaching. Their motto has always been respect for divers, fauna and marine life alike — and, as they put it, as a family you learn better and faster.

With 7 PADI Instructors on hand, the centre suits everyone from first-timers who have never breathed underwater to those chasing scuba, freediving and snorkelling courses. An onsite training pool and classroom, air fills, nitrox, and equipment sales and rental round out the setup, alongside a dive club and outings.

Local diving centres on Punta Santa Anna and Cala Punta Santa Ana, where sharks, whales, turtles and ocean fish move through the water. With English, Spanish and French spoken, plus onsite accommodation, Wi-Fi, food and parking, Charly-Sub is an easy base for divers travelling from afar.
