Located in Colonia Sant Jordi, Mallorca, AVENTURA IB provides access to some of the most well-preserved marine environments in the Mediterranean. The centre's primary focus is the Cabrera National Marine Park, an archipelago situated just south of the coast that serves as a vital sanctuary for endemic species and healthy seabed ecosystems.
Whether you are looking to complete your initial Open Water Diver course or seeking more advanced training in deep diving or buoyancy, the centre operates with a focus on high-quality instruction. The proximity to both the protected park and the wrecks of the Bay of Palma ensures a diverse range of diving opportunities for all levels.
The centre is affiliated with both PADI and SSI, ensuring a wide range of certification options for students. The team is composed of highly qualified instructors dedicated to providing structured, professional training for both recreational and specialty divers.
To ensure safety and individual attention, the centre maintains a guide-to-diver ratio of five divers per guide. This approach is particularly beneficial for those working through technical specialties or those completing their first ocean dives.
A comprehensive range of PADI and SSI courses is available, starting from the Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver levels through to Advanced Open Water Diver. For those looking to refine their skills, the centre offers specialty courses such as PADI Deep Diver, PADI Enriched Air Nitrox, PADI Perfect Buoyancy, and PADI Computer Diving.
Safety and technical training are also central to the curriculum, with Rescue Diver, First Aid, and the Science of Diving courses available. Beyond scuba, the centre provides structured freediving training, including Basic Freediving and Freediver Level 1.
The fleet includes the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2, a 45-foot sailing yacht, and a Llaut clásico Myabca 40. These vessels are designed to carry up to 12 passengers plus crew, providing a stable and comfortable platform for day trips.
On board, you will find shaded areas to protect you from the sun and a freshwater shower to rinse off after your dives. For full-day excursions, the boats are equipped with a cooler with ice for your own drinks, and fresh water is provided. Nitrox is available on board for divers who require it.
The centre offers full equipment hire for those not travelling with their own kit, including regulators, BCDs, fins, masks, snorkels, and wetsuits. For those completing courses, high-quality equipment is included in the training.
Shore-side facilities include freshwater showers and areas to prepare for your boat trips. Please note that a diving insurance certificate is mandatory for diving in Spain, and a medical certificate or a signed health declaration is required before you can enter the water.
Parque Nacional de Cabrera is a premier destination for divers of all levels. This marine reserve offers exceptionally well-preserved seabed environments and includes a visit to the Blue Cave, provided that sea conditions allow.
Bahía de Palma offers a different style of diving, featuring large wrecks, walls, and small caves or swim-throughs. These sites are located just 10 minutes from the centre and are accessible to divers of all experience levels.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
Diving in the area is influenced by the seasonal conditions of the Mediterranean. While the Cabrera National Marine Park offers protected environments, divers should always check local conditions regarding swell and current before departing from Colonia Sant Jordi.
