About
Diversub works the Cala Gogo seafront at Sant Antoni de Calonge, with its base set inside the Camping Gogo grounds and a quiet stretch of beach for pre-dive briefings. The boat leaves from Port Marina de Palamos a short drive north. Between the two it covers a spread of the southern Costa Brava: the Boreas wreck, the Ullastres pinnacles, Illes Formigues, Roca Roja, Llosa de Palamos, the Tunels de Port Salvi, and trips down to Tamariu and Tossa.
The centre is small on purpose. Discover-scuba sessions take no more than two guests, courses no more than four, and the discover dive is a real 40-minute dive rather than a few minutes in the shallows. Training pairs SSI self-study material with face-to-face theory, and rental kit runs to integrated-weight BCDs with dive computers issued during courses. The certification track is SSI throughout, from Basic Diver and Scuba Diver up through Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, and Dive Master, with specialties in Nitrox, Deep, Dry Suit, Night, Navigation, and Buoyancy.
Instructors Alice and Mickey turn up by name in diver write-ups, which fits the picture of a small steady team rather than a rotating roster. English, French, Spanish, and Catalan are all spoken. The season runs from April to late September, parking at the Cala Gogo base is free, and bookings are taken in advance by phone or email with weather cancellations free of charge.
What Divers Say
Diver reviews are uniformly strong, with a 5.0 rating on both of its main listings. The recurring themes are consistent: a small, personal, family-friendly atmosphere, patient and thorough instructors, clear briefings before each dive, and clean, well-kept equipment. Alice and Mickey are named again and again for their teaching and their patience.
Many of the divers writing in are first-timers, working through a discover-scuba session or a multi-day beginner course, often as families or couples spread over several days. That matches the centre's low-group-size model. The Cala Gogo and Palamos dive spots themselves draw praise for scenery and marine life. No real complaint cluster surfaces; the rare non-top rating still lands at "Good".
