You'll spend two days in Port de Sóller on the PADI Scuba Diver course, with two boat dives and the essential skills for a first certification. Your instructor starts from the basics and keeps the pace kind to first-timers, while still aiming at a proper qualification. This is a focused way into certified diving when your stay is short.
Two days cover the essential theory and skills, then those skills go into the Mediterranean from Port de Sóller harbour on two supervised dives. Your instructor stays close throughout, because this certification is designed for diving under professional supervision. Kit goes on with help, the briefing is clear and each dive has a job: get comfortable, stay with your instructor and come back with skills that actually work.
The water time is the point of the two days. Practice happens on sites that suit new divers, with time to repeat a skill if it still feels awkward, and a debrief after each entry so the next dive has a clearer focus. Two days is enough to finish the Scuba Diver qualification if you are ready, and honest enough that your instructor will say if more practice is needed before sign-off.
Port de Sóller is a compact harbour town on Mallorca's northwest coast. The meeting point at Port de Sóller harbour sits a short walk from the boat, so a two-day course does not lose a morning to transfers.
Dives leave that same harbour and stay on sites that suit new divers: sheltered enough to learn, open enough to feel like the real sea. Mountains sit behind the town; the useful view for this course is the quay and the water beyond the breakwater.
No prior scuba experience is needed. The first sessions start from breathing on a regulator if you have never dived before. Comfort in the sea helps, and we talk through how the water feels so we can plan the day.
A willingness to practise and listen is the real entry requirement. Timings and what to bring are confirmed before the first 10:00 start in the harbour.
Safety, small groups and care for the marine environment sit at the heart of how we work. More than thirty years on Mallorca's northwest coast, from a harbour base in Port de Sóller, have made those habits ordinary. We are a five-star PADI centre running daily boats, guided dives, snorkel trips and courses from beginner skills through to professional training.
Skippers and instructors know the reefs, caves and open water beyond the breakwater, so the day is built around this coast rather than a generic circuit. Hospitality and well-maintained kit are part of the morning, and the team still enjoys introducing people to the Mediterranean. Private outings can be arranged when you want the boat and crew to yourselves.
Meet us at Carrer de la Marina 30, 07108 Port de Sóller. The harbour and dive boat are a short walk from the meeting point. Allow time to park in town and walk down to the waterfront before your 10:00 start.
Two days cover essential theory and skills, then two supervised boat dives leave from Port de Sóller harbour. Your instructor starts from breathing on a regulator and builds each skill before you head offshore.
The qualification is real and is designed for diving under professional supervision. Sign-off happens when the skills and both dives are complete to the instructor's standard.
No. This is the basic scuba course. Your instructor starts from breathing on a regulator and builds the skills needed for the two dives.
Comfort in the sea makes the first morning easier. Tell us how you feel in water so we can plan the pace for the group.
Two dives over two days form the open-water part of the course and leave from Port de Sóller harbour. They are supervised throughout, with your instructor close enough to correct a skill before it becomes a habit.
Each dive has a purpose: settle, practise and come back with skills that work. The order follows sea conditions and how you are progressing.
The PADI Scuba Diver certification is issued when your instructor is satisfied. It is the most basic PADI scuba qualification and is designed for diving under professional supervision.
Your instructor will be clear about what the card allows. Extra practice is arranged first if more time is needed before sign-off.
We meet at Port de Sóller harbour. The dive boat leaves from the quay a short walk from the meeting point, so a two-day course does not waste time on transfers.
The first morning starts at 10:00, subject to confirmation. The second day follows the same harbour rhythm unless your instructor sets a different water time.
The two dives need a usable sea. If conditions are not right, the water sessions are moved rather than forced through a messy morning.
Some skill work can still happen when the boat cannot run. We'll say as early as possible if a day needs to shift.
Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a change of clothes are the essentials for two boat days. A hat helps on deck between dives, especially when the sun is high over the harbour.
Anything else is confirmed before the first morning. Leave loose valuables at the accommodation rather than taking them on the boat.
Yes. Two days is the point of this course. Daily starts at 10:00 are offered, then the two dives sit together as one pair of days.
Travellers can usually fit both days into a short stay. Leave a little slack around flights so a weather shift does not cut the second dive short.
Yes. Your instructor treats this as a first course. Kit, breathing and buddy checks are taught, not assumed.
That is why two days still feel full. The dives only start once the basic skills are safe enough to take offshore.
