Why Dive in Ibiza?

Ibiza’s seabed features Posidonia meadows (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which make the water crystal clear, as well as caves, drop-offs, and abundant marine life. The western coast, near Sant Antoni, has some of the best dive sites on the island.

Tips for Your Diving Course

• No experience is necessary for the introductory dive or the Open Water course: the instructors will guide you step by step.
• Bring a swimsuit, towel, and biodegradable sunscreen.
• After your last dive, wait 24 hours before flying.
• If possible, complete the online theory course with PADI eLearning ahead of time to get more out of your time in the water.

Snorkeling in the Coves of Sant Antoni

Sant Antoni Bay and Ibiza’s western coast feature rocky coves with crystal-clear water, ideal for snorkeling. On Arenal Diving’s boat excursions, you’ll visit two coves and a sea cave, with stops to swim, observe fish, and explore the cave’s entrance. It’s a safe activity for the whole family, and you don’t need to know how to dive.

What You’ll See Underwater in Ibiza

• Posidonia seagrass meadows, designated a World Heritage Site along with those in Formentera.
• Underwater caves and arches.
• Walls covered with gorgonians, sponges, and nudibranchs.
• Fish such as groupers, white seabream, snappers, barracudas, octopuses, and moray eels.

From Introductory Dive to Professional

At Arenal Diving, you can start with an introductory dive and, if you like it, continue with the Open Water course, the Advanced course to dive down to 30 meters and do specialty dives, the Rescue Diver course to learn how to prevent and manage incidents, and finally, the Divemaster course, the first step toward working as a diving professional.
