Mallorca Diving Adventure - Escuela de buceo en Port d'Andratx

Mallorca Diving Adventure is a diving school in Port d’Andratx (Plaça Nova), in southwestern Mallorca. It was founded in 2019 by a team of divers with many years of experience, led by Chema Rodríguez. Their motto, “We seek adventures where others only dream,” sums it up well: introductory dives, certified courses, dives for certified divers, snorkeling, and paddleboarding—all in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment.

A trimaran for diving

This is what sets this school apart: its boat is, according to them, the only trimaran dedicated to diving in all of Mallorca. A trimaran is more stable and has more space than a regular boat, so it’s more comfortable to get ready, and you’re much less likely to feel seasick. The boat is moored next to the center, and the facilities are accessible for people with limited mobility.

Where They Dive

From Port d’Andratx, they head out to the marine reserves in the southwest:

• Sa Dragonera: vast Posidonia seagrass beds, a nursery area for young fish, and some of the most beautiful underwater landscapes in Mallorca.
• El Toro and the Malgrats Islands (Calvià): an area of great ecological value, due to the variety of habitats, bottom-dwelling communities, and fish species.
• Thanks to the protection provided by these reserves, it’s easy to spot grouper, sea bass, amberjack, barracuda, sunfish, triggerfish, and yellowtail, as well as the occasional tuna.

Courses

They work with SSI and PADI and let you choose. Their recommendation is SSI, because its training is more interactive and up-to-date.

Level	Course
Try It	Discover Scuba Diving / Introductory Dive
Beginner	Scuba Diver (2 days) and Open Water Diver (3–4 days, up to 18 m)
Advanced	Advanced Open Water Diver and specialties
Safety	Rescue Diver and Emergency First Response
Professional	Dive Master and Diving Instructor

The theory portion can be completed online before you arrive, so you can spend your vacation diving. The Open Water course combines sessions in a pool or calm waters with four open-water dives and a multiple-choice exam that, depending on the school, children as young as 10 can pass.

What a first dive is like

1. Theoretical explanation at the dive center.
2. Shore practice in shallow water to learn how to use the equipment and breathe.
3. Boat trip for your first real dive.

The introductory dive counts as the first day of the course if you decide to continue.
