Merak Diving

Two marine reserves divide Menorca's dive geography: Reserva Marina de Isla del Aire on the east coast, Reserva Marina del Norte de Menorca on the north coast. Merak Diving runs both from a single organisation, with a primary centre at Moll de Llevant 325 on the Mahon harbour front and a second base in Fornells. The arrangement lets divers cover both protected zones in a single stay — an itinerary the centre actively recommends.

The operation traces back to Merak Charter, a nautical school established in Mahon in 2004. The diving centre was added after a decade of maritime operations, bringing SSI Instructor Training Center accreditation to an existing base with harbour infrastructure. From the Mahon building, a 12-person RIB is moored directly outside; three daily departures at 9:00, 11:30, and 16:00 reach dive sites within 5-25 minutes of navigation. The centre's training offer runs from beginner courses through to technical specialties — SSI Extended Range, Sidemount, and Deep Decompression programmes are available alongside the standard recreational pathway. Equipment is Mares throughout. Facilities include hot showers and changing rooms at the Mahon base. The centre operates year-round, Monday to Saturday; the /who-we-are/ page on the website returned a 404 at time of research, so the published team listing is limited to the core operational details above.

Divers consistently rate Merak Diving highly. Reviewers consistently name an instructor called Xavi as the driving presence: one 2025 reviewer described him as "passionate, patient and very professional," noting that he takes time underwater to introduce divers to the "richness of the underwater flora and fauna." Equipment quality and hot showers are recurring positives. Petit Fute 2026 lists the centre as recommended. French-speaking divers note dedicated language coverage; multiple reviews in French confirm the centre serves non-Spanish visitors comfortably.
