Eco&Dive Escuela de buceo en Málaga

Located along the Costa del Sol and extending to La Herradura in Granada, Eco&Dive operates with a clear focus on marine protection and the Alboran Sea ecosystem. This is a centre for divers who value the intersection of education and environmental stewardship.

Whether you are visiting the Málaga coastline or the waters near Granada, the school provides a structured approach to exploring the Mediterranean. They leverage modern tools, such as 360° video and autonomous underwater drones, to document the marine environment and capture your dives.

The team brings over 15 years of experience to the Alboran Sea, providing instruction in both Spanish and English. This ensures that whether you are a local or an international diver, the technical aspects of your training are communicated clearly.

The centre is a PADI affiliated school, offering a full progression of courses. Their philosophy is rooted in 'blue tourism,' meaning the instruction you receive is tied to the conservation of the very habitats you are exploring.

The school offers a complete range of PADI certifications for every stage of a diver's development. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or the Scuba Diver course, progressing through to the Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver levels.

For those looking to advance their technical skills or professional career, the centre provides Nitrox training, Rescue Diver, and Divemaster courses. They also offer EFR (Emergency First Response) and Snorkel Skin Diver programmes.

For those participating in a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, the centre provides all necessary equipment. This allows you to experience the underwater environment without the need to own a full kit.

Nitrox is available on-site for divers looking to extend their bottom time or manage nitrogen loading more effectively during repetitive dives.

The local marine environment is characterised by healthy Posidonia seagrass meadows, which provide essential habitat for various species. You will frequently encounter schools of fish and octopus (Octopoda) navigating the seabed.

Macro life enthusiasts can look for various invertebrates and smaller residents within the seagrass and rocky areas. This includes starfish and various species of octopus (Octopoda) tucked into crevices.

In the surrounding waters, you may also observe Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis) and other colourful wrasses (Labridae) amongst the vegetation. The ecosystem is also home to damselfishes and various schools of fish that move through the water column.

The area is accessible for diving throughout most of the year. Divers should be aware of the local environment, including the presence of the invasive Rugulopteryx okamurae algae, which can affect the local seabed.
