What are the requirements for diving in the Medes Islands?2025-04-15T08:54:47+02:00

A diving certification is required. Introductory dives are not allowed in order to protect the flora and fauna of this protected area.
The minimum accepted certification is Open Water Diver, 1 Star, Level 1 or equivalent. With this certification, diving must be done with a guide.

How are the dive trips organized?2025-04-15T09:02:31+02:00

We do dive trips every day, both in the morning and in the afternoon.

The meeting time before each dive is always 30 minutes before the boat departure.*

We meet at our diving center, located inside the Hotel Panorama, where we prepare the gear, load it into our truck, and head to the harbor. We transport the equipment, and meanwhile, the divers walk to the boarding area (about 5 to 8 minutes).

Once there, we load everything onto the boat and, as we gear up, we head to the dive site, where we do an eco-briefing before the dive.

Each trip lasts about 2 hours (one dive). After the dive, we return to the port, load the gear into the truck, and go back to the hotel to store everything.

If doing consecutive dives, we return to the port between dives to change tanks and head back to the diving center after the last dive.

*Beforehand, it is required to come to the office to check the required documentation, equipment sizes if needed, etc. We will confirm your meeting time when you book.

What are the departure times?2025-04-15T09:11:22+02:00

We usually go out at 9am, 11am, 3pm and 5pm.
