Mardays

On the waterfront at Arenal Beach in Jávea, Mardays is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive center built by a team that set out to create the diving home they always dreamed of. Working across Denia and Xàbia with five PADI Instructors, the center sits just a few metres from the sea — an easy base whether you're already a diver, hoping to become one, or simply want to try diving for the first time.

Courses and diving

Training runs from a one-day Buoyancy Course (from USD 198) through the PADI Dry Suit Diver and PADI Enriched Air Diver specialties, up to the two-day PADI Open Water Diver course (from USD 538). The center offers Nitrox, scuba equipment rental, and its own dive boat, with English and Spanish spoken throughout.

Local diving explores the Reserva Marina del Cabo de San Antonio — including its 1ª and 2ª Ensenada — along with Cabo San Antonio and Portichol Norte. Waters here are home to ocean fish, turtles, eels and echinoderms, molluscs and crustaceans, corals, anemones and more, making Mardays a welcoming choice for newcomers and certified divers alike.
