To ensure a high level of attention, dives are conducted in small groups. This allows for a more tailored experience, whether you are working through a training programme or exploring local sites with a guide.

The training catalogue is comprehensive, covering the full spectrum of PADI certifications. Beginners can start with the PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver courses, while those looking to progress can move through to Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver levels.

For divers looking to refine their skills or move into professional territory, the centre offers the PADI Divemaster programme.

Emergency training is also available through the EFR (Emergency First Response) course, and the centre provides Refresh Dive sessions for those returning to the water after a break.

The centre offers a full range of equipment for hire, allowing you to travel light if you prefer. You can rent complete sets or individual components, including regulators, BCDs, wetsuits, fins, and masks. They also provide cylinders, weights, and boots.

All rental equipment is maintained to professional standards, ensuring reliability for both recreational and specialty dives.

The local marine life is diverse, particularly around the seagrass meadows and rocky structures. You will find Posidonia oceanica providing essential habitat for various species along the coast.

In the more sheltered areas and around wrecks, you can encounter a variety of fish, including damselfish, sargo, barracuda, and salpa. Octopus and cuttlefish are also frequently spotted among the rocks and crevices.

Macro life enthusiasts can look for various crustaceans and cephalopods tucked away in the reef structures, adding complexity to the underwater landscape.

Diving in the Valencia region is influenced by local weather and maritime conditions. The centre operates year-round, provided the sea state and weather allow for safe boat departures.

While specific current and swell data varies by day, the centre's experienced guides monitor these conditions to select the most suitable sites for your experience level.
