Learn to snorkel with an instructor on a four-hour boat outing from Port de Sóller, then practise at two clear-water spots on the same trip. The morning starts at 10am every day, and successful participants finish with an international PADI Skin Diver certification as well as time in the water.
The morning begins at the harbour with a briefing and kit check, then the boat leaves Port de Sóller for the first teaching spot. Your instructor stays in the water, keeps the group together and only moves on when the basics feel settled. The second stop is there so you can enjoy the same clear water with the new skills already in place.
Because this is a course on a boat, the pace is teaching first and sightseeing second. There is still a relaxed ride between the two coves and back into the circular bay, with time on deck to warm up and talk through what you have just done.
We meet at the harbour in Port de Sóller, on the waterfront of a nearly round harbour bay. The tram and the beach are a short walk away, and the boat is close enough that you are not spending the morning on a transfer.
The two snorkel spots sit along the nearby Tramuntana coast, where the water stays clear and the boat can sit quietly while you learn. Exact coves follow the sea that day, always close enough that four hours can include real teaching time.
First-timers are welcome on this Skin Diver morning, including people who have never worn a mask. You should be happy in the water with an instructor, and children are welcome with adults who can look after them on the boat and in the sea. No diving or snorkelling certificate is asked for beforehand.
Tell us about medical conditions that might affect time in the water. The outing depends on the sea; if the bays are too lively we will say so and look at another 10am start.
Courses here run from first-timers finding their fins to professionals sharpening skills, all from the same Port de Sóller harbour. We are a five-star PADI dive centre with more than thirty years of welcoming people onto this northwest Mallorca coast, and teaching is something we take as seriously as a day on the boat.
You'll work with instructors who know the local reefs, caves and open water, using well-maintained equipment in small groups. Safety and care for the marine environment sit behind the lesson, and the same warm hospitality that greets divers at the quay is there for anyone learning to look under the surface. We still love sharing the Mediterranean underwater world.
Meet us at Carrer de la Marina 30, Port de Sóller, 07108, beside the harbour. Walk from the beach or the tram stop along the waterfront. Drivers should use public parking near the port and then walk to number 30. Plan to be there for the 10am start.
The course and boat outing last four hours and start every day at 10am from Port de Sóller. In that time you cover the basics of snorkelling with an instructor and then practise at two clear-water spots from the boat.
Please arrive a few minutes early so the briefing can start on time and the full four hours can be spent on the water.
Yes. Successful participants receive an international PADI Skin Diver certification. Your instructor takes you through the skills on the boat and in the water, then you snorkel at two spots as part of the same outing.
We'll tell you what we need for the PADI paperwork before the first morning, so you do not have to guess on the day.
An experienced instructor, snorkel equipment, the boat trip and time at two clear snorkel spots are included. The four hours are built as a course first and a boat outing second, so you are not left to figure out the kit alone.
Transfers to the harbour are not included. Wear swimwear and bring a towel; we look after the teaching kit and the time in the water.
No. This course is for people who want to learn to snorkel properly, including first-timers. You should be happy in the water with a mask and fins beside an instructor, but you do not need a diving certificate.
Tell us about medical conditions that might affect time in the sea. The instructor stays with you at both spots and keeps the group in sheltered water.
Skin Diver mornings start at the harbour in Port de Sóller. The tram stop and the beach are a short walk away once the car is parked in town.
If you are driving, use public parking near the waterfront and walk along the waterfront. Transfers from hotels or from Palma are not included.
Swim kit under your clothes, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat will cover the four-hour course. A light layer helps on the ride between the two spots and on the way home.
Bring any medication you need. We supply the snorkel kit for the course, so you can travel light from the hotel.
The boat visits two clear-water spots along this stretch of coast, chosen for teaching rather than for a long cruise. The instructor uses the first stop to settle the skills and the second to let you snorkel with more confidence.
Exact coves follow the sea that morning. We stay close enough to Port de Sóller that the four hours include teaching time, not just transit.
Teaching and time in the water need a reasonably calm bay. If the forecast looks poor we will contact you and look at another 10am start when we can.
We would rather move the course than teach in a choppy cove. The session moves for safety so the two spots stay usable for teaching.
Children can join when they are with adults and are happy in the water with an instructor. Tell us ages so we can plan the briefing and have smaller kit ready if needed.
The four hours include time on the boat as well as in the sea, so younger guests need an adult who can look after them on deck between the two spots.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
