About
SubLimits Diving Center operates from the port area of Sant Feliu de Guixols on the Costa Brava, running boat dives and training year-round. The center describes itself as a continuous training school for all levels, and its course portfolio backs that up: holding SSI Instructor Training Center status means SubLimits can take a student from a first try dive through to professional instructor certification without leaving Sant Feliu.
The team works in four languages: Catalan, Spanish, French and English, and runs all dives from a 12-seat semi-rigid boat, with morning departures typically around 09:00-09:30. Sites rotate across the Sant Feliu area, with the Port Salvi tunnel complex as the flagship, alongside El Jardin y la Red and Les Sofreres, plus trips extending to Llosa Platja d'Aro and the gorgonian-covered pinnacle at El Bou. Course offerings span the full SSI pathway from recreational open water through specialties, technical diving, rebreather certifications, and freediving. Equipment rental covers every category, including rebreathers and dry suits, and a small retail section stocks Cressi and Mares gear.
Facilities at the port-side location include changing rooms with hot-water showers, a dedicated equipment rinsing area, and a training room with audiovisual equipment. Free parking at the port is a practical detail when loading and unloading dive gear.
What divers say
Reviewers consistently use two words about SubLimits: professional and safe. Multiple accounts highlight the feeling of being well looked-after on the water, with divemasters actively pointing out marine life and rock formations along the way. The warm onshore infrastructure, including hot showers and spacious changing areas, earns specific praise after cold-water dives in shoulder season.
Family orientation comes up repeatedly. Divers mention the center works well for mixed-ability groups and is approachable for first-timers without feeling entry-level for experienced divers. The free dive photos offered to guests appear in several reviews as an unexpected bonus.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes SubLimits different from other dive centers in Sant Feliu de Guixols?▾
SubLimits holds SSI Instructor Training Center status, the highest professional designation in the SSI system, which is relatively rare on this stretch of the Costa Brava. This means the center can train and certify dive instructors on site, not just recreational divers. The center also operates year-round and offers rebreather and technical diving courses alongside the standard recreational pathway.
What sites do SubLimits dive from Sant Feliu de Guixols?▾
The center regularly rotates between the Port Salvi tunnel complex (the area's flagship site), El Jardin y la Red, known locally as La Xarxa, and Les Sofreres, a shallower training site. It also runs trips to Llosa Platja d'Aro (6-25 m), just outside the Sant Feliu area, and El Bou, a 15-30 m pinnacle covered in gorgonians. The booking calendar shows available departures and the current site rotation.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?▾
No. SubLimits maintains a full rental fleet including BCDs, regulators, wetsuits, dry suits, dive computers, cylinders, and rebreathers. The center also runs an online retail shop with Cressi and Mares equipment for divers who prefer to own their gear.
Can beginners dive with SubLimits?▾
Yes. The center offers a try dive (bautizo de buceo) for beginners from age 8, available as a boat dive. This requires no prior experience or certification. Open Water Diver courses are also available for divers who want to get certified.
What are the facilities like at SubLimits?▾
The center is in the port area of Sant Feliu de Guixols with free parking directly in front. Facilities include changing rooms with hot-water showers, an equipment rinsing and desalination area, and a training room with audiovisual equipment. The center also runs a van for transfers.
Is SubLimits open in winter?▾
Yes. The center operates year-round, unlike some other centers on the Costa Brava that run seasonally. Winter diving in the Sant Feliu area means colder water than summer, with the trade-off of good visibility and different marine life behavior, useful for macro photography.
