Blue Islands Diving

Blue Islands Diving is a family-operated SSI training centre situated in the Cala Galdana area of Menorca. Since taking over the centre in 2021, owners Enza and Pietro have focused on delivering a low-impact, sustainable approach to diving within the local marine environment.

The centre operates within the Red Natura 2000 protected zone and is an active member of the Plastic Free Menorca Alliance. As an Observatorio Centinela for the Observadores del Mar citizen science platform, the centre plays an active role in monitoring the local marine ecosystem.

Run by a dedicated couple, the centre maintains a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and small-group diving. This approach ensures that every diver receives personalised attention, whether you are completing your first certification or working towards a professional level.

Instruction is provided in English, Spanish, and Italian. The team follows SSI standards, offering a structured progression through the various levels of diver training and specialty courses.

As an SSI Training Centre, Blue Islands Diving offers a comprehensive curriculum for all experience levels. Beginners can start with the Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver courses, while those looking to progress can enrol in Advanced Open Water Diver, Deep Diving, or Enriched Air Nitrox training.

The centre also provides specialised technical and skill-based training, including Sidemount, Wreck/Advanced Wreck, and Dry Suit courses. For divers looking to refine their technique, specialties such as Perfect Buoyancy, Navigation, and Night & Limited Visibility are available.

Professional training is also on hand for those aiming for a career in diving, with the SSI Divemaster programme available through the centre.

The centre's primary vessel, Istar, is a dedicated dive boat capable of carrying up to 12 passengers. It is powered by a 250hp Honda engine, ensuring reliable transit to the various dive sites around the coast.

Nitrox is available on board for divers looking to extend their bottom time. The boat is well-suited for day trips and night dives, providing a stable platform for exploring the Menorcan seabed.

The shore-based facilities include a shop stocked with diving and snorkelling equipment. For those requiring hire kit, the centre provides high-quality equipment from brands such as Mares, Seac, and Cressi.

Air quality is a priority on site, with a new Bauer compressor equipped with a P-type purification system. Nitrox is also available for divers through the centre's gas blending capabilities.
