Scuba Mallorca S.L.U

Scuba Mallorca has been a fixture of the northern Mallorca diving scene since 1999. Based in Port de Pollença, the centre has spent over two decades helping divers explore the diverse underwater landscapes of the Balearic Islands.

As a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre, the facility is equipped to handle everything from initial entry-level certifications to professional-level training. The team focuses on a personal approach, operating as a private family business that has seen thousands of divers through their training and exploration.

The team is composed of experienced instructors, many of whom began their own diving careers on the island. This local knowledge is a core part of their service, ensuring that dive sites are selected based on the daily weather and the specific experience levels of the group.

Communication is straightforward for international divers, as the staff is multilingual. You can expect instruction or guidance in English, Spanish, Catalan, German, or French.

Beyond recreational diving, the centre is a hub for professional development. They offer training for those looking to progress through the PADI career ladder, including Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, and Instructor programmes.

The training programme is comprehensive, covering the entire PADI spectrum. Beginners can start with PADI Scuba Diver or PADI Open Water Diver courses, including Junior versions for younger divers.

For those looking to advance their skills, the centre offers PADI Advanced Diver, PADI Adventure Diver, and the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Diver. The curriculum also includes specialty training and the PADI Rescue Diver course.

Professional training is a primary focus at this IDC centre. You can work towards becoming a Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, or a fully qualified PADI Instructor. They also offer Freediving instruction to complement their scuba programmes.

The centre provides a range of shore-based facilities to support your diving. While specific compressor brands are not listed, the centre manages daily excursions with two scheduled departures: one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

For those requiring additional coverage, dive insurance can be purchased on-site if you do not have personal insurance. Divers are reminded to bring a valid certification card, a current medical certificate, and proof of insurance to every dive.

The waters around northern Mallorca host a variety of Mediterranean species. You will often encounter different types of sea urchins, including the Black sea urchin, Purple sea urchin, and Green sea urchin, alongside various fish species like Amberjack (Seriola) and Gilt-head bream (Sparus aurata).

In the rocky areas and ledges, keep an eye out for Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) and Scorpionfish. You may also spot various species of Grouper (Epinephelus) and Dentex dentex patrolling the seabed.

Macro life and smaller inhabitants add detail to the dives, with sightings of Nudibranch (Chromodoris willani) and various other small organisms. The presence of Conger eel (Congridae) and different types of sea urchins provides plenty of interest for those with a keen eye for detail.

Dive sites are selected each morning based on the prevailing weather and sea conditions. This ensures that the chosen locations are appropriate for the specific skill levels of the divers on that day's excursion.
