Just a 10-minutes boat ride to the marine reserves “Islas Malgrats” and “El Toro”; and a 20-minutes boat ride to the marine reserve “Isla Dragonera”. We also organize dive trips to Cabrera National Park. Everybody can enjoy diving with us, no matter what your experience is or what your requirements are, there are definitely some dives suitable for you here. Even if you dive them all you will never have the feeling of doing the same dive twice.
THOUGHT FOR OUR DIVERS’ COMFORT
If you don’t want to travel with your own equipment you can rent all you need in our dive center. If you prefer to bring your own equipment you have the option of leaving it here during your stay to avoid wet gear in your hotel. All our tanks have both DIN and INT (yoke) connections.
DIVE TRIPS WITH ZOEA MALLORCA
From Monday to Sunday we meet at the dive center at 9 am. We offer a free pick-up service if you stay in a hotel within the Calvia area. Upon arrival we do the paperwork and prepare the equipment to then board one of our boats: Belone Belone, Conger Conger or Puntazzo Puntazzo, located right in front of our dive center.
Each morning we depart at 9.30 am to spend the whole morning in the sea and return at around 1.30 pm to the dive center, after two dives of approximately 45 minutes each. Sometimes we briefly return to the port between dives to change tanks and have a short break. During the winter months we only dive once so we return to the dive center at 11.30 am.
Between the dives we take a short break while we change the tanks and drive to the second dive site. Before, during and after the dive you are looked after by one of our instructors, who will help you with anything you need and ensure your safety.
