CIP Collioure - Medes Islands

If you're heading to the Medes Islands and staying in Collioure, the team at CIP Collioure are a solid choice for getting wet. We really like their focus on introductory dives and guided excursions, which means they're great for those new to the sport or anyone who just wants to relax and have someone else handle the logistics. Think of them as your local guides, showing you the ropes and the best spots without any fuss. They are a genuinely friendly bunch, the kind of people you’d happily grab a coffee with after a dive. We particularly love them for their straightforward approach. You won't find a full retail shop or extensive technical courses here, and honestly, that's part of their charm. They do what they do, and they do it well: getting people comfortably into the water and exploring the stunning Medes surroundings. Picture drifting over Posidonia meadows, the light filtering down, with schools of barracuda circling overhead. We’d suggest booking your guided dives in advance, especially during the summer months, as their boats can fill up quickly. It's an easygoing operation perfect for a no-stress dive holiday.
