What a dive centre offers

Dive centres run try-dives for first-timers, internationally recognised courses (PADI, SSI, CMAS and others), guided dives for certified divers and equipment rental.

Many have their own boat to reach wrecks, caves, marine reserves and walls you can't get to from the shore.

How to choose a dive centre

Check that instructors are certified, the condition of the equipment, group sizes and reviews from other divers. A good centre adapts dives to your level and carries oxygen and an emergency plan on board.

In Bilbao and San Sebastián you can compare dive centres on Nautify and message them directly about dates, courses and dive sites.
