Andreas Diving

Medes Islands, Spain

The team at Andreas Diving are exactly who you want showing you the Medes Islands. They’re grounded, genuinely passionate about the local marine park, and it shows in how they operate. We’ve always found their briefings to be thorough, outlining what you’re likely to see, not just the dive plan. They specialise in guiding divers through the Medes Islands’ unique topography, making them a great pick if you’re keen to explore those dramatic tunnels and caves without feeling rushed. It’s an ideal choice for divers who appreciate a personal touch and want to feel like they’re diving with friends. We particularly love diving with Andreas during the shoulder seasons, late spring or early autumn, when the boat traffic is a bit lighter. Head out on an early morning trip with them to Les Ferranelles. Dropping down into the gorgonian forests there, you often find yourself surrounded by schools of barracuda, their silver scales flashing as they turn in unison. And don’t skip the chance to explore La Vaca tunnel – it’s a short swim through, but the light filtering in from the other side is something else, especially when you spot a curious moray eel peeking from a crack. They’re really good at pointing out the smaller stuff too, like nudibranchs clinging to the walls, or the elusive slipper lobsters hiding under ledges. Just be aware, Medes Islands can have currents, so listen to their advice on entry and exit points.
