From your first breath underwater to advanced wreck dives off the Murcia coast, you'll find patient PADI instruction in clear Mediterranean water. Sessions run from a school base near Los Belones with easy access to Cabo de Palos, one of Spain's best-loved dive areas.
Whether you want a relaxed snorkel from the shore, a boat trip to the marine reserve, or a full certification course, your instructor keeps groups small so you progress at a comfortable pace. All scuba and snorkel equipment is included, and every session starts with a clear safety briefing before you head to the water.

Advance your diving in one efficient programme that combines PADI Advanced Open Water with Enriched Air Nitrox training around Cabo de Palos. Over three days you'll complete five adventure dives plus practical Nitrox skills, earning two valuable certifications while your instructor guides you through the best sites on the Murcia coast.
This programme mirrors a full Advanced Open Water course but swaps one optional adventure dive for focused Nitrox training. You'll still gain deep, navigation, buoyancy and wreck experience while learning to use enriched air safely from the start, with PADI eLearning completed before you arrive.
Each day balances adventure dives with workshop time for Nitrox procedures. Your instructor keeps the flow coherent so both certifications feel like one integrated learning journey, with thorough briefings and debriefs after every session.
Cabo de Palos offers ideal conditions for Advanced training and Nitrox practice. Varied sites within a short distance provide navigation challenges, wreck exteriors and deeper profiles where enriched air planning becomes immediately relevant.
We operate from our base in Los Belones, simplifying daily logistics across the three-day programme. The Murcia coast rewards certified divers with clear water and memorable marine life on settled days.
You'll need a certified Open Water Diver qualification or equivalent from a recognised training agency. The minimum age is 12 years due to Nitrox specialty requirements under PADI standards.
Bring your certification card and logbook for verification before the first dive. Comfort with core scuba skills and basic dive planning helps you get the most from both the adventure dives and Nitrox workshop.
Combining Advanced and Nitrox saves time compared with taking both courses separately. We design a single coherent itinerary around local sites so every dive and workshop feels connected, with small groups that ensure personalised feedback.
With eLearning done in advance and full kit provided, you'll leave with two certifications and skills you can use on every future dive holiday. Our instructors know Cabo de Palos intimately and tailor the programme to conditions and your interests.
Day one focuses on buoyancy refinement and underwater navigation adventure dives. After reviewing relevant eLearning topics, you enter the water to practise compass work, natural navigation and trim in clear Mediterranean conditions.
These dives build confidence for deeper and more complex sessions later in the programme while counting towards your Advanced Open Water certification.
The second day includes mandatory Deep and wreck adventure dives. You experience greater depth under supervision, learn narcosis awareness and explore a local wreck site with appropriate safety procedures.
Evening or surface-interval time may introduce Nitrox theory topics that link directly to the practical workshop scheduled for day three.
On the final day you complete your remaining adventure dive and the Enriched Air Nitrox practical training. You analyse cylinders, configure dive computers and, where conditions allow, apply Nitrox procedures on a training dive.
Successful completion of all requirements earns both your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and Enriched Air Diver certifications in one trip.
You must hold a PADI Open Water Diver certification or equivalent before starting this combined programme. The bundle is designed for certified divers who want to advance their skills and add Nitrox in one efficient trip.
Bring your certification card and logbook for verification. If you have not dived recently, tell your instructor at the welcome briefing so the first adventure dives can include extra skill review.
The bundle follows the standard PADI Advanced Open Water structure with five adventure dives over three days. Deep, navigation, buoyancy, orientation and wreck dives are included, with one optional adventure replaced by practical Enriched Air Nitrox training.
Instead of a night dive or search and recovery module, you'll complete hands-on Nitrox training focused on gas analysis and dive computer configuration. You still earn both Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air Diver certifications on successful completion.
Theory for both certifications is completed through PADI eLearning before your practical sessions. Advanced modules introduce each adventure dive topic, while the Nitrox section covers oxygen percentages, MOD limits and safe enriched air procedures.
Completing eLearning in advance keeps your three days on site focused on diving and practical workshops. Your instructor reviews key points before each session and ties theory to local sites around Cabo de Palos.
Most programmes run across three consecutive days with a logical mix of adventure dives and Nitrox practice. Each day includes briefings, one or two dives or workshops, and debriefs so you understand progress towards both certifications.
Start times are typically in the morning. Schedules may shift with weather and site access, and your instructor confirms plans the evening before or at the morning meeting point in Los Belones.
Yes, full scuba equipment is included for all training dives. Analysers and computers are provided for Nitrox practical sessions, and your instructor helps configure settings for enriched air profiles.
If you own a dive computer, bring it so Nitrox settings can be set on the device you'll use in future. Rental computers are available if needed.
On successful completion you'll receive both the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Enriched Air Diver specialty certifications. Advanced Open Water qualifies you to dive to 30 metres, while Nitrox allows enriched air fills within trained limits.
Both qualifications appear on your PADI digital profile. The combination is popular with holiday divers who want broader skills and longer no-decompression times on repetitive dives.
The minimum age is 10 years for most adventure dives, with depth limits for junior certifications as per PADI standards. The Enriched Air specialty requires a minimum age of 12 years.
Anyone under 18 needs guardian consent on paperwork. Let us know about younger participants when you enquire so schedules and depth limits can be planned appropriately.
Deep adventure dives and Nitrox both involve additional planning considerations that your instructor covers thoroughly during theory and briefings. Oxygen exposure limits, gas analysis procedures and depth management are emphasised throughout the programme.
Your instructor monitors the group closely on deeper dives and reinforces disciplined Nitrox habits during the practical workshop. Training adapts or postpones if conditions or readiness are not suitable.
Bring certification cards, logbook, swimwear, towel, sun protection and drinking water. A light snack for surface intervals is useful on fuller days.
Plan accommodation within easy reach of Los Belones or Cabo de Palos for morning starts. Allow a surface interval before flying after your final training dives.
With Advanced and Nitrox together you're well placed for wreck dives, marine reserve trips and repetitive diving holidays along the Murcia coast. Your instructor can suggest local sites suited to your new depth limit and Nitrox skills.
Many guests spend extra days diving along the coast after the programme, putting both qualifications to work on varied Mediterranean terrain.
