Blue Dive Menorca

Blue Dive Menorca holds SSI Instructor Training Centre status from its base at Port d'Addaia on Menorca's north coast — the highest SSI certification tier, which enables the full instructor development pathway from Open Water through Staff Instructor level. The programme also includes Extended Range (XR) technical diving: dives involving decompression, twin cylinders, or staged tanks, with instruction capacity that puts the centre among the few Balearic operations with an active technical programme. The centre operates under two names: Blue Dive Menorca and Blue Dive Experience (bluedivexperience.com).

The Addaya marina sits inside the boundary of the Reserva Marina del Norte de Menorca, so the reserve starts before the boat engine does. Swiss Cheese, the north coast's most photographed reef, is less than five minutes from the dock. Punta Grossa adds wall and point diving with large pelagic life. Cave options include The Big Cave, a two-branch system where red coral covers surfaces from 30 m downward, stalactites descend from the ceiling, and lobsters occupy the deeper recesses. The centre runs annual seabed waste collection events.

The team briefs and instructs in five languages: German, English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Snorkeling and taxi-boat trips depart from Addaya marina for non-diving companions. The centre is open Monday to Saturday throughout the year.

Blue Dive Menorca is well-rated by divers, with consistent recognition among the top experiences in Port d'Addaia, with the most recent review from May 2026. The strongest recurring theme is guide knowledge of the Northern Marine Reserve: reviewers consistently describe pristine conditions, high grouper density, and octopus sightings that exceed expectations. Small group sizes and well-maintained equipment feature in multiple accounts. The multilingual team draws specific praise from German and French-speaking divers who valued being briefed in their own language. At 4.6, the aggregate reflects a predominantly strong experience, with the centre's XR technical programme and reserve guide quality its most praised attributes across the review volume.
