About East Coast Divers Mallorca
East Coast Divers runs from the promenade at Hotel Bahia Azul on Porto Colom harbour, a waterfront position that places it at the centre of Mallorca's east-coast dive circuit. The operation has been active since at least 2011 and runs April through October.
As a PADI Dive Resort, the programme spans Bubblemaker sessions at 25 EUR for young beginners through Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, and Divemaster. The specialty menu covers fifteen named courses, including Night, Wreck, Nitrox, and Underwater Photography. Daily boat trips reach more than 20 areas along the east coast, including reefs, sea caves, and a wreck dive, with the closest sites only five minutes away.
On-site facilities include a training pool, a retail shop stocking Mares and SCUBABRO gear, and rental by the full set or the individual piece. Instruction runs mainly in English and German, and some divers note that French speakers are accommodated through translation. Free hotel transfers operate from Porto Cristo and Cala Mondragó, and dive insurance, mandatory under Spanish law, can be bought directly at the centre.
The Pirate Cave Snorkeling Adventure to the Cala Varques sea cave runs independently of the scuba schedule, open to non-divers from age 14 up.
What divers say
The Pirate Cave Adventure is the single most-reviewed and most highly rated individual product, though cave and wreck diving draw equally strong praise, with reviewers citing the variety of sites reachable within a short boat ride. Mixed groups, including certified divers, first-timers, and non-diving family members, are handled well in the same outing, and junior divers training toward their Open Water certification are specifically mentioned as being in good hands. Several guides and skippers are named individually and repeatedly across the review body. A small share of the rating base registers as Poor or Terrible.

Other Services
The Diving Licencia is the mandatory Spanish diving-insurance product every operator sells, not a marine-reserve charge: this centre's own east-coast sites sit outside every Balearic marine reserve boundary, including the nearest one, the Reserva Marina de Llevant de Mallorca near Cala Rajada, whose boundary runs roughly 30 km north of Portocolom. So no reserve permit or daily fee applies here, unlike operators on Mallorca's west and southwest coasts.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does East Coast Divers operate?▾
The season runs April through October, with diving available outside those months on request. Weekly opening hours vary by day, so confirm the current schedule directly with the centre before planning a visit, and before counting on a Sunday trip.
Is technical diving available?▾
Trimix and rebreather training and support are listed for the centre, but a course list and pricing aren't published, so confirm current availability and syllabus directly before planning a technical trip.
What is the Pirate Cave Adventure, and who can do it?▾
The Pirate Cave Adventure is a guided snorkeling trip to the Cala Varques sea cave, not a scuba dive. It's built for non-divers and families, though the centre sets a minimum age of 14. It costs 59 EUR and is the single most-reviewed product the centre runs.
What dive sites are accessible from Porto Colom?▾
The centre runs daily trips to more than 20 areas along the east coast, including reefs, sea caves, and a wreck, with the nearest sites just five minutes by boat. Depths range from around 8m in sheltered calas to 27m at the deepest point. The wreck dive, the Peter von Danzig (24m average, 27m maximum), runs seasonally (March to November) and is rated advanced by the centre itself because of current and shipping traffic in the area.
Can non-divers come along on the boat?▾
Non-divers can join as passengers when the boat schedule allows, and the Pirate Cave Snorkeling Adventure is designed specifically for non-divers from age 14 up. A standalone snorkeling excursion is also available at 29 EUR.
Are transfers available from local hotels?▾
Free hotel pick-up operates especially from Porto Cristo and Cala Mondragó. Mention your pick-up point when booking to confirm.
