Les Basetes Diving Centre about the centre

Les Basetes Diving is situated in the Les Basetes bay, specifically within the Club Náutico Les Basetes on the Benissa coast. This location provides a sheltered environment that is particularly well-suited for introductory dives and initial training sessions.

The centre's layout is designed for efficiency, with boats moored directly in front of the facilities. This means you can move from the shop to the water without the need for uncomfortable van transfers or long walks, making the transition to the dive site seamless.

The centre provides instruction for a wide range of abilities, from those looking to take their first breaths underwater to fully certified divers. Whether you are looking to start your training or simply want to explore the local seabed around Calpe, the team is equipped to manage various levels of experience.

In addition to scuba diving, the centre also facilitates snorkeling excursions for those who prefer to stay at the surface. The approach is designed to be inclusive, catering to both the beginner and the more seasoned diver looking for local exploration.

For those not bringing their own kit, a range of equipment is available for hire, including wetsuits, fins, and masks, as well as regulators and cylinders.
