Scuba College

Just outside Madrid in the leafy district of La Moraleja, Scuba College is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort that has been devoted to diving since 2013. Its team of experienced, well-regarded professionals guides everyone from first-timers to those chasing their next certification, all within easy reach of the Spanish capital.

Courses and training

The centre runs the full spread of PADI programmes — scuba diving, freediving, mermaid and snorkelling — alongside a conservation focus for divers who want to give back. An onsite training pool and classroom keep skill sessions close to home, backed by air conditioning, parking and an Adaptive Services Facility that widens the door to who can take part.

A retail shop and equipment sales sit next to scuba rental and air fills, so you can kit out, refill or gear up on the spot, while the travel service opens the way to dives further afield. Staff work in both English and Spanish, making Scuba College a welcoming base for locals and visiting divers alike.
