Mar Balear Dive Center - Centro de buceo en Port Adriano

Mar Balear Dive Center is a dive center based in Port Adriano (El Toro, Calvià), in southwestern Mallorca, with more than 20 years of experience. Its philosophy can be summed up in three words: discover, respect, and explore the sea. It organizes introductory dives, courses for all levels, dives for certified divers, snorkeling excursions, and private services for groups and agencies.

Tips for Diving in Southwest Mallorca

• Bring your certification and insurance: Spanish regulations require accident and liability insurance. If you don’t have it, the center can provide it.
• Dragonera and the shipwrecks require an advanced level. If you have your Open Water certification, start with El Toro or Caló des Monjo.
• Control your buoyancy: during dives, do not touch the seabed or the posidonia. The Perfect Buoyancy course is very helpful.
• Book in advance during the summer, especially for special trips.

What should you choose?

• You’ve never dived before: a first-time dive from a boat or, if you’d rather not get too wet, snorkeling.
• You want to get certified: Open Water; you can complete the theory portion beforehand and spend your vacation in the water.
• You’re already a diver: a dive package at El Toro and a day trip to Dragonera or the shipwrecks.
