Super Dive Tossa de Mar

SuperDiveTossa is a well-established PADI CDC dive centre located in Tossa de Mar, situated only four minutes from the Mar Menuda beach. The centre has been operating for over two decades, building a reputation for high-quality instruction and a deep respect for the local Mediterranean marine environment.

The facility is modern, spanning 160 square metres of indoor space complemented by 120 square metres of exclusive outdoor terraces. It serves as a professional hub for both recreational divers and those pursuing advanced technical certifications, all within a setting designed for comfort and efficiency.

The centre is led by Meri Alorda and Chiqui Bustos, PADI instructors with extensive international experience and high-level qualifications. As a PADI Course Director Centre (CDC), they are among the few in the Costa Brava capable of providing the highest level of professional training.

Instruction is delivered with a focus on small groups, maintaining a ratio of maximum two divers per guide to ensure personalised attention. This approach is applied to everything from introductory dives to advanced professional development.

The team is recognised for their expertise in various disciplines, including technical diving, sidemount, and freediving, ensuring that divers at every level receive specialised knowledge.

The training programme is extensive, covering the full spectrum of PADI certifications. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or the PADI Open Water Diver course, progressing through Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver levels.

For those looking to advance their skills, the centre offers specialised training in Nitrox, Deep Diver, Night Diver, and Dry Suit diving. They also provide technical training through the PADI TecRec series, including Tec 40, Tec 45, Tec 50, and Tec Sidemount, as well as DPV Experience and Sidemount courses.

Professional divers can pursue a career through the Divemaster and Instructor Development Courses (IDC). The centre also offers niche training such as PADI Freediver, PADI Mermaid, and specialised photography courses.

For dives away from the Mar Menuda area, the centre utilises a motorboat equipped with an outboard motor. This allows access to different dive sites across the region, providing flexibility for your dive plan.

The shore-based facilities are designed to be highly functional for serious divers. There is a dedicated rinsing area equipped with high-pressure water guns to ensure all kit is cleaned thoroughly and hygienically after every dive.

For those looking to rent equipment, a full range of kit is available for hire. The centre also features dedicated storage areas for equipment and specific zones for underwater photographers to manage their gear.

On-site amenities include separate changing rooms for men and women, complete with showers and toilets. The centre also provides transport via vans to move divers and their equipment to the dive sites, with a pickup service available from local hotels.

The local marine life is diverse, with a particular focus on the delicate inhabitants of the Mediterranean seabed. Divers can encounter various species of fish, including the elegant Damselfish and the shyly moving Sunfish.

Macro enthusiasts will find plenty to observe, particularly if they are searching for the long-snouted seahorse. The area is well-regarded for its variety of small, interesting creatures that require a keen eye and a steady hand.

The rocky reefs and seabed habitats support a range of life that makes every dive interesting, from larger pelagic species to the smaller, more hidden inhabitants of the crevices.
