Whether you are looking to start your journey with a Discover Scuba Diving session or you are an experienced diver seeking technical specialties, the centre operates with a focus on structured SSI training. Their location in Poligono las Pilas serves as a base for both shore dives and boat-based trips into the bay.

Local wreck in the Algeciras bay is a site specifically utilised for the SSI Wreck Diving Specialty. This wreck is explored around the structure and its immediate surroundings, though it is conducted without penetration at this level, making it accessible to Open Water Diver level divers.
