Subfari Portinatx - Centro de buceo en el norte de Ibiza

Subfari Portinatx is a dive center located on the beach at the Port of Portinatx, about 20 meters from the water, in northern Ibiza (Sant Joan de Labritja). It offers the full range of SSI courses, from introductory dives to technical diving and professional training, and organizes daily dives along the north coast, one of the island’s wildest and least crowded areas.

Facilities

• Large terrace with ocean views, featuring a reception area, a gear-assembly area, and a gear-cleaning area.
• Indoor space of about 80 m² with an office, a small shop, and locker rooms with showers.
• Portinatx is 8 km from Sant Joan and 28 km from the city of Ibiza.

Boats

It has two RIBs, 7.50 and 8.50 meters long, with 300 CV engines, equipped for diving: central tank racks, plenty of space to get geared up, and ladders designed for divers. No trip, not even to the farthest points, takes longer than 20 minutes. All skippers are diving instructors and know the coast very well.
