Guided Diving

A different way to dive.

There is no better way to discover the underwater world than with your own personal guide. With a focus on safety and enjoyment you can be assured of an unforgettable experience. No rushing around at the dive site, all at your own pace, and no set limit on the time you can spend on each dive (excluding your Gas Reserve and No Stop Limits, of course!).

When you a book a day of guided diving the guide is just for you!

New to diving or looking to gain more experience?

Your guide is also an experienced qualified diving instructor and can offer help and suggestions with your diving style and technique. From assisting with equipment assembly, to great tips on control of your buoyancy and streamlining, this all adds to your enjoyment under the water. Our shore dives are a perfect way to gain experience and have a relaxing dive. The dives at Calahonda, La Herradura and Marina del Este (Berengueles Cove Reef and Harbour Wall) are ideal.

Experienced diver?

As an experienced diver you will appreciate a guide who is going to give you the space and time to enjoy your dive. We will be there to show you the interesting parts of the dive, as well as to point out the less obvious, and all at a relaxed pace. We have dives that are shallow with lots of natural light, and with long bottom times, or even an exhilarating deep boat dive using EANx. More info on our dive sites here.

Everything looks different in the dark!

Enjoy the thrill and excitement of diving at night on one of our guided shore dives. Book for a day of three dives and enjoy the last dive in the dark! Entering the water just as the sun sets, the fading light gives way to complete darkness, and as we depend more on the bright light of the torches, the underwater landscape takes on a different life. No previous experience is required.

 

Safety on the dive

In 2020 the regulations were changed, with regard to the required equipment for recreational scuba diving, and we are pleased to supply this free as part of our equipment hire. This includes a cutting tool, whistle, torch, and D/SMB. At the beginning of each day we give a full site and safety briefing, which includes a description of the dive, points of interest, what to expect to see, and a recap on emergency procedures. Oxygen and first aid kit is carried on the vehicle.
