Located in the Almería Levant, Centro de Buceo Mojacar has been a fixture of the local diving community for over 27 years. The centre's strategic position allows for easy access to a variety of distinct diving environments, ranging from the protected waters of the Cabo de Gata and Carboneras Natural Park to the coasts of Mojácar and Villaricos.
Whether you are looking to start your training or are a technical diver seeking challenging environments, the centre covers the northern Almería region extensively. Their operations are built around fast boats that can reach various points across the coastline, ensuring access to both popular sites and more remote, less crowded locations within the Natural Park.
The team is led by Pedro Navarro, a PADI Platinum Course Director, ensuring a high level of professional oversight. This expertise is backed by decades of experience in these specific local waters, providing a foundation of knowledge that is essential for both recreational and technical diving.
The centre is a PADI reference centre, meaning they are equipped to handle everything from introductory dives for families to advanced instructor training. Their long history in the region means the staff are intimately familiar with the local topography and seasonal shifts in the marine environment.
The course catalogue is extensive, covering the full spectrum of PADI certifications. For those beginning their journey, they offer Bubblemaker, Seal Team, and Scuba Diver, leading into the core Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver programmes.
For technical divers, the centre provides specialised training including PADI Tec 40, Tec 45, and Tec 50, as well as PADI Tec Trimix and PADI Tec Trimix 65. They also offer PADI Gas Blender training and PADI SideMount and Tec Sidemount courses. Professional divers can pursue the PADI Divemaster and PADI Instructor pathways, supported by a team that includes IAHD instructors.
The centre operates a fleet of lanchas rápidas (fast boats) to transport divers to the various dive sites across the Almería coast. These vessels allow for efficient transit to the more remote areas of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park that are inaccessible by land.
These boats provide coverage for all the major dive points in the northern Almería area, including the Costa de Mojácar and Villaricos. For technical divers, the boats are capable of supporting more complex profiles, with Trimix available for those undertaking technical training.
El cañón - La pared offers a wall dive experience for those looking to explore vertical topography. It is a key site for observing the structure of the seabed along the Almería coast.
El pecio is a dedicated wreck site that provides an opportunity to explore submerged structures. These sites often host a different variety of marine life compared to the reef flats.
El arco de San Andrés features interesting geological formations that create natural swim-throughs and arches. This site is ideal for divers looking to navigate more complex underwater landscapes.
