Tossasub Diving Center

Pep Bagur opened Tossasub on Avinguda Sa Palma in 2002, though his team's experience in the sector goes back a decade further. The center sits 100 metres from Mar Menuda beach, the shore entry point for one of the Costa Brava's most popular training dives. Three daily departures at 09:00, 11:00, and 16:00 keep the schedule flexible for visitors arriving without a fixed plan.

Tossasub holds SSI Instructor Training Center status and also runs PADI programs, covering everything from children's try dives to professional-level IDCs. The center operates its own dive boat with capacity for 16 divers, reaching 14 sites across the Tossa coastline. Shore dives leave directly from Mar Menuda. Boat trips access deeper profiles at sites like Roca de Santa Anna and Montirivi, with transit times between 5 and 25 minutes.

Thirty complete equipment sets mean walk-ins rarely face a shortage. The five-language team (Spanish, English, French, German, Catalan) handles international visitors without difficulty. Free dive photos taken by guides during every outing are delivered by cloud link, a detail that surfaces repeatedly in reviews. The premises include showers and a bar for post-dive downtime.

Across 974 Google reviews and 107 on TripAdvisor, Tossasub holds a 4.9 rating on both platforms. The consistency is striking: 98 of 107 TripAdvisor reviews rate the center Excellent.

The dominant theme is instructor quality. Named individually by reviewers, instructors like David, Joan, Yuri, Manu, and Mariana draw praise for calm, thorough briefings that put first-timers at ease without rushing them. A recurring comparison: divers who noticed large groups on the beach with other operators specifically call out Tossasub's small group sizes as the difference. Families with children come up often, with parents reporting smooth experiences for divers as young as eight. The multilingual team earns appreciation from French, English, and Finnish visitors alike. Free dive photos, shared by cloud link after each outing, appear in numerous reviews as an appreciated extra. Arlet Galan responds to every review in the language of the writer, which is itself noticed and mentioned by name in multiple comments.
