Which diving school in Mallorca should I choose?
The time has come: you are planning your next holiday in Mallorca and are now looking for the right diving school to complete your diving course. Diving schools in Mallorca are a dime a dozen - but the services included in the diving course and the support provided by the diving centres vary greatly.
When choosing your diving centre in Mallorca, pay attention to the following criteria:
- Language: If you would like to complete the diving course in German, you will find numerous German-speaking diving schools, especially on the south-west coast, south coast and east coast of Mallorca. If there is no German-speaking diving school in your holiday destination, you can also do the practical part of the diving course in English or Spanish, provided you understand a minimum of the respective language - however, the internationally standardised teaching materials from PADI or SSI (the largest diving organisations worldwide) will of course be provided in German.
- Feel at ease: You should feel comfortable at the diving school. Most diving schools in Mallorca live the relaxed and friendly Spanish lifestyle, so you can sit around chatting after the course. Even though the peak summer months of July and August are very busy, the diving instructors always endeavour to show you how much fun diving can be in a calm and safe manner. Most of the instructors are very experienced and know the island's diving areas inside out. Trusting your diving instructor and your diving school in Mallorca is extremely important, because only then can you relax - and from experience, most exercises work best when you are relaxed.
- Services: What is included in the diving course? Every diving school in Mallorca includes and excludes certain services related to the diving course. Most diving courses include theory and practical lessons, teaching materials, diving insurance, boat trips, all rental equipment, wetsuit and booties and certification. The prices of the diving courses vary depending on the content - so check in advance exactly which services are included in the price of your diving school in Mallorca and which are not. If there is not a suitable diving school in your exact holiday destination, find out about nearby diving schools here - some offer daily transfers to the diving centre and then back again from a certain radius.
- Organisation: As a rule, every diving school in Mallorca is a member of at least one diving organisation. PADI and SSI are the two largest international diving organisations, with whose courses you can dive worldwide. There are also other diving organisations, such as FEDAS, the Spanish diving organisation, or CMAS, another international diving organisation. The diving courses are carried out according to the valid guidelines of the respective organisation. Although the training levels are organised in a similar way, the number of mandatory training hours, dives and content per training level differs. In general, it can be said that the basic "Open Water Diver" diving certificate from PADI and SSI is very suitable for holiday divers and occasional divers.
