DIVEMADRID

DIVEMADRID is a PADI IDC 5 Star Dive Center based in the heart of Madrid, Spain, welcoming divers since 2009. With three PADI Instructors on the team, it runs the full range of PADI programmes from your very first breaths underwater all the way through to professional-level training.

Courses and training

Beginners can build their foundations with the PADI Open Water Diver course (from USD 477, around 7 days), while certified divers can expand their skills through the PADI Enriched Air Diver course (from USD 156, about 1 day). If it's been a while since your last dive, the PADI ReActivate Scuba Refresher (from USD 119, roughly 1 day) is an easy way back in, and the Emergency First Response course (from USD 143, about 1 day) covers primary and secondary care.

The centre is well set up for learning, with an onsite training pool, a classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop and parking. Saturday afternoon pool sessions, equipment sales and rental, DPV hire, a dive club and travel round out the offering. Staff speak English and Spanish.
