Dive Center el Mar de Valencia

Dive Center el Mar de Valencia is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive centre and club on the waterfront in Valencia, Spain. It's built around one of the area's signature experiences — diving a sunken ship — alongside guided sea dives, discover-scuba sessions and PADI courses across every level.

Courses and who it suits

With 3 PADI Instructors and around 20 courses and activities, the centre caters to complete beginners taking their first breaths underwater right through to divers pushing into technical territory. The programme spans PADI Enriched Air Diver, Tec Basics, Tec 40, Tec 45 and Tec 50, Tec Sidemount and REC Sidemount, plus a Dive Against Debris conservation dive.

Onsite you'll find a training pool, retail shop, dive boat, accommodation, food and drinks, and free Wi-Fi, with rental gear and a tank-filling station on hand. Nitrox and Trimix are available, and staff speak English, Spanish and French — making it an easy fit for visiting divers.
