Ikigai Scuba

Located just 15 minutes by car from Palma, Ikigai Scuba offers a tailored approach to diving in the Balearic Islands. This PADI affiliated centre focuses on providing a calm and secure environment, making it an ideal choice for those looking to start their underwater journey.

Unlike standard group excursions, the emphasis here is on private sessions. This ensures that your progression is managed at your own pace, whether you are a complete beginner or a non-swimmer looking to build confidence underwater.

The team consists of three professional instructors, ensuring a highly personalised service. Every client is paired with a dedicated instructor for one-on-one sessions, maintaining a one-to-one diver-to-guide ratio throughout your experience.

Instruction is available in both English and Spanish. The centre's approach is designed to be methodical and reassuring, covering theory and equipment preparation before heading into the water.

Ikigai Scuba offers the PADI Open Water Diver course, covering everything from theory to your first underwater experience. The curriculum is designed to build foundational skills in a controlled environment, typically at depths of 5 to 6 metres.

The centre provides a full range of rental kit for divers who prefer not to carry their own equipment. This includes regulators, fins, masks, and wetsuits.

For those looking to upgrade their gear, the on-site Isurus Store offers various diving products. Payment for services and equipment can be made by card upon arrival.

The local marine life features a variety of interesting species along the seabed. You can expect to encounter rays, cuttlefish, and various types of starfish.

The ecosystem is also home to several echinoderms, including sea urchins and decorative sea urchins. You may also spot Sabella pavonina.

Macro enthusiasts and curious observers can look for various species of crustaceans and molluscs, including cuttlefish and octopus.
