ZOEA Madrid

With more than 28 years of experience, ZOEA is a 5-star PADI IDC Diving School teaching PADI courses in Madrid and many other provinces — from basic level all the way to professional, including the Diving Instructor Course. With headquarters in Madrid, Murcia and Mallorca, it stands as one of the largest diving schools in the country, and more than 15,000 students have trained with ZOEA in Madrid alone.

Courses and who it suits

Six PADI Instructors lead a broad line-up, from the PADI Enriched Air Diver (from USD 156, around 2 days) and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (from USD 347, around 3 days) to the PADI Rescue Diver (from USD 299, around 3 days). ZOEA also offers the Buceador Científico course (from USD 508, around 7 days), making it a natural fit for divers who want to progress from beginner skills toward professional and scientific diving.

Training runs at pools including Piscina Ciudad de los Periodistas and the covered pool at Colegio Virgen de Mirasierra. Instruction is available in English, Spanish and Italian, with Nitrox and equipment sales on hand.
