Courses and local diving

As a PADI 5 Star IDC, the center is a strong fit for divers at every stage — from those trying scuba and snorkelling for the first time to anyone continuing their PADI education, with EFR first aid and conservation among the offerings. Nearby dive sites include El Galeon and Playa Seghers, where marine life ranges from ocean fish, eels and molluscs to corals, anemones, turtles, and sharks and rays.

Onsite you'll find a classroom, a retail shop, and an aquarium/deep pool, plus air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Services cover air fills, nitrox, and equipment sales and rental, with staff speaking English, Spanish, and French.
