club de plongée - Costa Brava
The team at club de plongée are proper local legends. They’ve been diving the Costa Brava for years, and it shows in their easy familiarity with the sites and their relaxed but always safe approach. If you’re looking to get certified, especially if CMAS is your agency of choice, this is where we’d send you. They’ve got a fantastic range of discovery dives too, which are far more imaginative than your usual try-dive. We love that they offer a ‘treasure hunt’ baptism. Imagine finishing your first ever dive with an actual prize. It’s a smart way to get kids hooked, and honestly, we’d probably sign up for it ourselves. Their night dive baptism is another standout; seeing those familiar reefs transform with nocturnal life, with shrimp eyes glinting in your torch beam, is an experience most divers wait years for. For the certified, they know the best times to hit sites like the Canyons, where you might drift past schools of barracuda, or the deeper pinnacles that attract amberjacks. They’re less about flashy boats and more about solid, enjoyable diving with people who genuinely love being underwater.
