Mero Diving - Balearic Islands
The team at Mero Diving really understands what it means to run a dive shop that feels like home. They’ve been at it since '69, which tells you something about their staying power in the Balearics. We particularly like their focus on the Llevant marine reserve, just off Cala Ratjada in Mallorca. It’s a smart move because that area offers some genuinely interesting topography, with plenty of caves and swim-throughs carved into the limestone, often with schools of barracuda hanging in the gloom, just waiting for your torch beam. We’d suggest heading out with Mero for an early morning dive if you can swing it; the light filtering through the water into those caverns is fantastic, painting the walls with these shifting blue hues. You’ll frequently spot moray eels peering from crevices, and the occasional grumpy grouper. They’re also excellent with newer divers, offering a solid range of courses. We’ve seen them patiently guide folks through their first breaths underwater, instilling that confidence you need when you're just starting out. It's a relaxed, professional setup without any fuss, making them a great pick for a low-key dive holiday.
