Mar Antiguo

Established in 2005, Mar Antiguo is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center based in Cali, Colombia, and a natural home for anyone ready to start or continue their diving adventure. With four PADI Instructors and personalized course schedules, the team meets you at your level — whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or building toward more demanding dives.

Courses and dive plans

Mar Antiguo runs extensive diving plans across the Colombian Pacific, heading to Gorgona and, for more experienced divers, to Malpelo. It's water that rewards the curious: sharks, whales, turtles, rays, eels, echinoderms and ocean fish all move through these seas.

Back on land, the center is set up to keep things easy, with an onsite classroom, free Wi-Fi and a retail shop. Services cover air fills, equipment sales, scuba gear rental and a dive club, and a full range of rental kit is on hand — from BCDs and wetsuits to regulators and dive computers. English is spoken throughout, making it a welcoming choice for visiting divers.
