Detailed description

Enjoy a dive course at La Manga or adventurous dives at Mar Menor

Due to its reputation as one of the best dive sites in Europe and thanks to its mild water temperatures of an average 20-28°C, a dive course at Mar Menor is just perfect. The since 1995 protected nature reserve Cabo de Palos is the habitat of a large variety of species, which is used by many sea creatures as breeding ground. The coastal line of Costa Calida therefore is the ideal place for dive beginners. At the dive course in La Manga, experienced dive instructors are always at your side and patiently support you in learning scuba diving. Since all dive courses are PADI-certified, all dive courses are conducted due to international standards and with internationally standardised teaching material.

At the same times, experienced divers get their money's worth at the dive centre in La Manga. On guided boat dives or shore dives, experienced and less-experienced certified divers can get to know Costa Calida. Especially spectacular are the sardine shoals that occur every year between August and October and attract predatory fish, such as the up to 22 kg heavy dolphinfish, tuna, common dentex and jackfish. The dives at Mar Menor are a unique experience! Besides the moray eels, rays, octopi, barracudas and moonfish, that settle here during all the year, you can also expect many more sea creatures that hide in the lush posidonia- and neptune seaweed meadows.

Conditions

Valid on the reserved day or for 12 months after date of purchase if no date has been selected. You will receive the tour operator's details with the purchased ticket. Attention: reservation is required! The reservation can be made through sunbonoo as part of the booking process or later by contacting the tour operator directly via phone or email.
Attention: we strongly recommend a general practice of allowing a surface interval of 24 hours or more before flying after diving to prevent decompression sickness. Very important!

It has been great. We did not plan to do a dive in the area, but finally having all the documents with us we have been spontaneous. Wonderful.

Inmersión - material

Ha sido genial. No teníamos planificado hacer una inmersión en la zona, pero finalmente al tener todos los documentos con nosotros hemos sido espontáneos. Qué maravilla.
