Varadero-dive

Varadero Dive, also known as C.A.S. Varadero, is situated right on the water's edge in the Costa Brava town of Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Having been established in 1990, the centre has spent three decades navigating the Mediterranean's diverse underwater topography.

The centre is ideally positioned for easy access to the sea, offering a practical base for those looking to explore the local reefs, tunnels, and wrecks. Whether you are looking for a simple introductory dive or are progressing through technical stages, the facility is built to support a wide range of diving disciplines.

The centre is affiliated with SSI, CMAS, and TDI, ensuring a broad scope of recognised certifications. The teaching philosophy focuses on personalised instruction, strictly adhering to a maximum ratio of three divers per guide to ensure safety and individual attention.

The team is multilingual, with staff able to communicate in Spanish, English, Dutch, French, and German. This makes the centre highly accessible for international divers looking to train or explore the area without language barriers.

Beyond instruction, the centre operates a dedicated on-site maintenance and repair workshop for diving equipment. This technical expertise provides an extra layer of reliability for divers who rely on their own kit for frequent outings.

The course catalogue is extensive, catering to every stage of a diver's development. Beginners can start with Snorkelling or Discovery Scuba Diving, progressing through the First Star, Second Star, and Third Star diver levels.

For those looking to specialise, the centre offers training in Deep Diving, Altitude Diving, Boat Diving, and Digital Underwater Photography. They also provide specific skills training such as Buoyancy Perfecta, Equipment Techniques, and Computer Diving.

Advanced and technical divers can find specialised programmes including Technical Diving, SSI Training Specialist courses, and Shark Diving. The centre is also equipped to handle emergency training and advanced certification requirements through their TDI and SSI affiliations.

The centre provides full equipment hire for those not travelling with their own kit, and all necessary equipment and gases are included in the cost of their training courses.

For divers maintaining their own gear, the on-site workshop offers professional servicing and repair capabilities. The facility is conveniently located with easy parking and direct access to the water.

The local bay is well-protected from most prevailing winds, which helps maintain manageable conditions for divers. This sheltered location makes it a reliable area for regular diving excursions.
