OPEN PADI course, very satisfied - I went to take the Open Course and I only have words of thanks to both the Centre and my instructor Alex for their patience and their Training Capacity (in covers) both in and out of the water. I will certainly repeat my experience with them to take other courses and make some excursions. It is a formidable center both for its facilities and its material but especially for all the staff who work there. They're like a family. Perfectly organized, close, friendly, friendly but very professional and strict with training. All for our safety and enjoyment. If you are thinking of taking a PADI degree, I recommend GIDIVE as an instructional center.

Excellent tutors, equipment, location and course for certifying 12 year old and 16 year old children - My two children consolidated their knowledge of a baptism dive from last year in a three day course. The equipment was impeccable, the booking process was easy and the explanations and certification was very professional. I would recommend to families looking to introduce their children and themselves to diving and look forward to advanced training with them.

Open Water course - Without a doubt a GREAT EXPERIENCE. High quality equipment, course taught by Miguel and Tati with all controls, in which I have felt comfortable and has been an incredible experience. Recommended 100%. I'll come back later to get the advanced.

Highly recommended - I thought it was an unforgettable experience. I'd done a diving baptism a few years ago and left it parked, but they make you want to keep diving. Many thanks to Curro (especially) and Miguel and all the other staff. Excellent treatment, maximum safety and QUALITY OF TEACHING AND WORK.

I can only say that AMAZING - We took the Open Water course and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Highlight the professionalism, patience and affection with which they teach you, the desire and commitment that they put in every day and that manage to infect you that enthusiasm for life under the sea.Fantastic treatment, special mention to Curro who was the best teacher we could have had. Greetings also to Miguel and Gio. Thanks for everything.

WONDERFUL - I have to say that the idea of diving didn't call me long before I started the course. But once it is done and completed I have to say that it is an incredible experience and all thanks to the boys of the school. Curro, Miguel, Gio... Spectacular treatment and the way they teach. Spectacular the experience lived with them who at all times do their best to make you feel good. From the first day to the last we have felt at home and I have certainly learned a lot. As all the exercises explain and how they help you complete them. No doubt if I ever become a diver it will be thanks to them. Fully recommended. And the place to dive is spectacular.

Excellent - A great experience and a great team. We run the PADI Open Water diver course with Tati, and besides the small groups and increases the customization of the course, the treatment is unbeatable. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to start or wants to continue with their diving courses. Same with baptisms.
