Very disappointing experience. They asked me to change my booking time, which I agreed to, but when I arrived the entrance gate shown in their instructions was locked with a chain and padlock. I couldn’t access the property at all. They then denied my refund and gave inaccurate information about what happened. I followed all their instructions and would not recommend booking here.
Very technical class. It was my third time diving and I made a lot of progress. Very usefull guidance, but a few things to see.
Many thanks. It has been a pleasure to having you here
I would recommend that you find something different. This place is unwelcoming. The instructor was rude, the location is difficult to find and once you do find it you will be unimpressed with the man-made pool structure with dirty water where you will learn to dive. Also, they send you an app to download and all of the info less than 24 hours in advance of the reservation, so if you don’t meet the requirements you cannot cancel and get your money back. I had a great time paddle surfing the day before with a different company. Any water sport would be better choice than this place.
Thank you for your feedback. Honestly, you really shouldn't be reviewing this activity, as you didn't actually participate—you failed to show up. We called you several times because you were running late, and by the time you finally answered the phone, the activity had already ended. We appreciate your feedback because it allows other travelers to know that showing up at the scheduled time is mandatory (as stated on the voucher itself at the time of purchase). It is also good for other travelers to know that while Barcelona offers plenty of nightclubs and nightlife, if you book a morning dive, you need to get up at the appropriate time. We also want other travelers to know that if they plan to go clubbing at night, it is better to book an afternoon slot with us rather than a morning one. In any case, if you book a ticket and simply do not show up, you forfeit the ticket, and no refund is available once the activity has started. Thank you.
Everything perfect; my first time diving and thanks to the instructor Victor, everything went great and we enjoyed it a lot.
muchísimas gracias
Diving was just by the shore., less than 30 min. Water was dirty, vision quality was terrible. They couldn't provide a glass of water before diving.
Hi Ryan, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the dive did not meet your expectations. Our shore dives are designed primarily for beginners or for those looking for a more relaxed introduction to diving. That said, we understand that the duration and type of dive may not have matched what you had in mind. Regarding visibility, it can vary significantly depending on sea conditions on the day. While we always aim to select the best possible spots, this is unfortunately beyond our control. Regarding water, we do have a fountain available for all our customers. As we explained at the time, we do not provide disposable cups as part of our commitment to reducing plastic use. You requested water after already wearing your fins, which makes it more difficult to access, but you were very welcome to use the fountain before or after the dive. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service. Best regards.
This was an amazing experience! Pau was an outstanding instructor and made me feel safe through the entire experience. My first scuba diving experience was memorable and I cannot wait to get scuba certified.
Thanks Melissa
This was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had! From the moment I arrived, the staff helped guide me through the gates and made the whole process smooth. My instructor, Julia, was incredible — extremely kind, patient, and always willing to stop, go back, or take things further to make sure I was comfortable. She made me feel safe and supported the entire time. They even take photos for you, so no need to worry about bringing a waterproof camera. Everything was handled professionally and with care. I absolutely loved this dive and will 100% do it again when I’m back in Barcelona. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable diving experience!
Thanks Josue
Our companion was really super nice and so patient. I can absolutely recommend it for people who want to take a first look into the underwater world.
Danke Valerie

Thanks Kerem
Would highly recommend. All the staff are nice and friendly, the instructors made it very easy to understand how to dive and and the safety. If you’ve never done it before I’d recommend it
Thanks Robert
