About

Boats moor directly outside the door at Marina Nou Fontana, so a dive day here starts without hauling kit down a jetty or across sand. The centre has operated from this stretch of Javea since 1995, holding both PADI 5-Star and SSI Diamond Instructor Training Center status, with a BAUER Pure Air-certified compressor and Green Diving Spain recognition behind it.

Course options run past the standard open-water track. Alongside the PADI and SSI certification path sits an ecology-focused specialty run: coral identification, marine ecology, fish identification, and dedicated modules on sea turtles, manta rays, and sharks. That breadth is uncommon among nearby Javea dive operators. Daily boat trips fan out across three clusters rather than one fixed reef, Cabo de la Nao itself, Denia, and Moraira. Day-to-day teaching runs through an international team of instructors.

What Divers Say

Reviews from 2025 lean overwhelmingly positive, with repeated praise for well-maintained equipment, professionalism, and punctual service across a large volume of reviews. Divers highlight two-dive boat trips to sites like Portichol Norte and Cueva de la Virgen as smoothly run outings just minutes from the marina. Reviewers name instructor Javier Galicky and skipper Carlos, praising how they pushed a deep-diving course through despite a rough sea day. Several describe repeat visits for successive courses, from Open Water through deep and Nitrox specialties. Against that large base, a single visit from September 2025 was rushed and unwelcoming by comparison, a customer-service complaint rather than an equipment or safety concern, and stands as a clear outlier against the otherwise consistent pattern.
