Prosub - Medes Islands
Prosub, while not a traditional dive *centre* in the sense of offering courses or rentals, fills a very specific niche in the Medes Islands. If you’ve brought your own gear but need a spare fin strap, a new torch, or maybe you’re looking to upgrade to a better mask, this is your spot. They're primarily a retail outlet for diving and spearfishing equipment, so think of them as your local dive shop away from home. We'd suggest stopping by if you’re self-sufficient with your diving and simply need to top up your gear bag or replace a lost item during your trip.
