No previous diving experience is needed for this five-hour VIP Discover Scuba day from Port de Sóller. An exclusive instructor leads two private dives from a boat reserved for your group, with a maximum of four people on board, so you can explore two sites at an unhurried pace.
Over five hours your group has a private boat and an exclusive instructor for two Discover Scuba dives. The first site is treated as a gentle introduction, with time on board to talk through the kit and how the dives will feel before you enter the water.
After a surface interval on your own deck, the second dive visits a different location so you see two stretches of the northwest coast in one outing. Your instructor stays with you throughout. The step-by-step flow is in the itinerary below.
The harbour in Port de Sóller sits in a sheltered bay under the Tramuntana mountains, with a short walk from the waterfront to the boat. This is a working waterfront, so you meet us beside the same quay we use for every private outing.
Just beyond the breakwater the coast opens into clear Mediterranean water, rocky points and seagrass. Your skipper chooses two sites that suit a first or private Discover Scuba pace, and because the boat is yours we can linger where the group is comfortable.
Complete beginners are welcome. You do not need a diving qualification or previous time on scuba, only a willingness to listen to the briefing and stay with your instructor in the water.
You should be happy in the water and able to follow simple directions. Mention any health questions so we can plan the day before you travel to the harbour.
Hospitality still sits inside the dive here, not after it, because this is a five-star PADI harbour team with more than thirty years on Mallorca's northwest coast. Port de Sóller is the base, and daily boats, guided dives, snorkel trips and courses from first steps to professional training all leave this same quay.
Safety, small groups and care for the marine environment shape the morning, especially when the day is private. Skippers and instructors know the local reefs, caves and open water, and kit is kept in proper order. When you want the boat and crew to yourselves, that is exactly what we set up.
The meeting point is Carrer de la Marina 30 in Port de Sóller, beside the harbour. The town is reached by road through the Sóller valley or over the mountains from Palma, and the quay sits a short walk from the waterfront.
No previous diving experience is required. This VIP Discover Scuba day is built for people who have never used a regulator before, as well as anyone who wants a very private first taste of the underwater world.
Your exclusive instructor stays with you for both dives, so the pace, the briefings and the time in the water can follow how you feel on the day.
The outing lasts five hours on a private boat, with two dives led by your own instructor. A maximum of four people share the boat, so the group stays small.
We leave from Port de Sóller harbour and return to the same quay, with a surface interval on deck between the two sites.
Up to four people can join. That keeps the teaching close and means the boat and instructor are not shared with a larger party.
Couples, families and small groups of friends all work well, as long as the total does not go above four.
Yes. The boat is reserved exclusively for your party for the full five hours, and an experienced instructor leads both dives privately.
That is what makes the day private: two sites, your own pace, and no other guests on the boat.
The meeting point is beside the harbour in Port de Sóller. It is a short walk from the waterfront and straightforward to reach by road from Palma or the Sóller valley.
The meeting time is confirmed before the first morning so you can arrive ready for the briefing rather than waiting on the quay.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection and a light layer for the boat. Wear something comfortable that you can change out of after the dives.
Your instructor will talk you through the kit on the morning. If you already own a mask you like, you may bring it, but it is not required.
You do not need to be a strong swimmer in the open sea, but you should be happy in the water and able to follow simple instructions from your instructor. The two dives are supervised throughout.
Tell us about any health concerns so we can plan the day. If something would stop you from diving safely, we will say so before the day rather than discovering it on the boat.
Two different locations are part of the day, chosen for the conditions that morning and for a first-time or private Discover Scuba pace. Your instructor stays with you at both sites.
Because the boat is yours, we can keep the first dive conservative and only move to the second site when everyone is settled and enjoying the water.
Wind and swell can affect boat diving on this coast. If the sea is not suitable for a safe Discover Scuba day, we will contact you and look at moving the session to another date.
Your skipper and instructor make that call with safety first. A private boat still only goes out when the conditions are right.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
