Who are we?
Scuba Murcia is not just "another dive centre". Our centre is diver focused, so whether you are a recreational or technical diver or simply want to see if diving is right for you our team understand that the experience needs to be unique. Our instructors are diving professionals, this is not a seasonal job for them - This ensures that they have the experience and knowledge to make your training experience unique and focused on individual needs. Diving is our passion not just our job and we constantly look to improve our own skills and invest in instructor training to ensure we are maintaining our individual progression and development.
We keep class sizes small and the schedule flexible so you will have personal attention to make sure you have time to focus on fundamental diving skills. You will finish your course or workshop as a well rounded and safer diver. This is not just a box ticking exercise, we want you to leave Scuba Murcia and be proud that our name is on your certification.
​
There is no one size fits all approach at Scuba Murcia, for training and guiding we offer many equipment options and our instructors will happily spend time to explain the benefits, BCD or wing, twin set or sidemount we want to design the diving experience or course that not just suits you now but will be the best fit for your diving ambitions.
​
​
It doesn't matter if you are diving with us for one day, one week or returning year after year, We want you to have the best experience both in and out of the water. We spend a lot of time together diving, at the beach, on boats and at the dive centre, so the social side of diving with us is just as important as the quality of teaching. We know what its like to be rushed in and out of dive centres, so we will make sure your experience is relaxed and you feel like part of our diving family.
