Petrodivers

Tucked into the small port of Porto Petro on Mallorca's southeast coast, near Santanyi and Cala D'Or, Petro Divers has been welcoming divers for almost 20 years. As a PADI Dive Center staffed by four PADI instructors, it sits right on the waterfront, with the big dive boat just a few steps from the base.

Courses and diving grounds

The center runs a full range of PADI training, from Advanced Open Water Diver and Deep Diver to Underwater Navigator, Search and Recovery, Night Diver and Enriched Air. Returning divers can shake off the rust with a ReActivate Scuba Refresher, while a Half-Day Dive Trip from USD 54 gets you underwater in a couple of hours.

The Reserva Marina Del Migjorn De Mallorca lies right on the doorstep, and regular trips head out to the natural park island of Cabrera. Divers explore sites such as Torbogen, and the team works in English, Spanish, Dutch, French and German.
