El Ánfora centro de Inmersión - escuela de buceo: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
I did a baptism, I just completed the Open Water and I will do the Advance with them; Sebas is a crack in every aspect and there are few people in the world like Marina, she knows how to make you understand anything, in any situation, regardless of how you are, and on top of that, make it fun. They made me have one of the best birthdays of my life. If you're thinking about taking a course with them, stop thinking and hit the contact button. You will find cheaper, more expensive, larger, smaller diving centers, or however they are, but at L'Àmfora you have the best human and technical team you can find. I can only give thanks...

They give you enough confidence to relax and put your life in their hands. Without a doubt, a great center I would recommend to anyone wanting to dive into the world of scuba diving.

The best diving center in Tossa de Mar and Costa Brava!! First of all, large facilities with a lot of equipment available, completely equipped changing rooms with showers and a bar where you can have a wonderful breakfast as well as eat fantastic combo dishes. Both the bar staff and the diving center staff are lovely and very attentive. On the other hand, the Tossa de Mar area is an amazing spot for diving, full of life and incredible rock formations that make the immersion enjoyable and interesting. Totally recommended to dive or to take a course at L'amfora. Whenever I can, I escape for a weekend to dive with them!

I did a diving baptism with 2 of my friends and we came out delighted and wanting to repeat to take the next courses.
First of all, comparing the price with other centers is great.
The experience was amazing, the instructors Aida and Xenia were very nice, they made the initial explanation in a simple and pleasant way and soon sent us to the sea to start putting on the equipment and dive.
They treated us great, both they and the rest of the companions, friendly, fun, and with a very good atmosphere among them.
The experience itself is incredible, the area where we dove is in Tossa de Mar and it is a super clean area with quite a variety of fish.
The instructors were attentive to us at all times but gave us freedom and peace to dive and see things.
Finally, they took some underwater photos that they sent us a few hours later.
In short, a 10 experience highly recommended.
Thank you very much :)

I did the Open Water with my girlfriend and the experience was ten out of ten. Miriam clearly knows a lot and has experience, and Aida is a gem and is always very attentive both in and out of the water. Marina explained the theory in the most engaging way possible. The last day was with Sebas, the director. Take the opportunity to ask him everything you can. He's an extremely passionate guy about what he does. The course structure, including the number of days, is perfect, you'll understand it when you do it. You can tell they have decades of experience.

SPECTACULAR!! I have done both the baptism and the Open Water course and I have nothing but words of gratitude for the people who run the Center. Special attention to Marina (baptism) and Miriam (Open Water) who helped me at all times and made me fall in love with this activity. The rest of the people I dealt with (Sebas, Tomás, etc.) made it a lot of fun for me, not only in terms of learning but in how close they are to you, always concerned about how you feel, if you have any problems, etc.. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

I have completed my Open Water training with them and it has been outstanding, my instructor Miriam is a 10 professional both as a diver and as a teacher, she is charming, super sweet, and very patient. Very approachable and they offer the best quality-price conditions on the Costa Brava. The rest of the team like Marina, Xenia, etc., are delightful, and the owner Sebas is also very present and involved at all times. Without a doubt, the best center to get any training or guided outings.

Positive experience:
A bit bittersweet the experience. The diving day was spectacular, Sebas and the team in general were very attentive and treated us very well. But they were supposed to send us the video and first they sent us one that wasn't us, they told us they would send it later and nothing. We wrote to them and they ghosted us. We never received our video. I understand that for them it's just another baptism, but for us it was the first baptism and we were very, very excited about our video. No explanation, no response, nothing. Anyway. What a shame.

I couldn't feel more sheltered, accompanied, and taken care of.
They are an amazing team with the ability to guide, organize, and teach new little fish how to navigate in the aquatic environment.
They know the area they operate in perfectly, its inhabitants, and their respect for them.
Super friendly and attentive, fun and cheerful. Always looking out for our safety and with the expectation that we leave delighted with the new experience. Something they have achieved with flying colors.
I will see them again in October to continue my journey with the Open Water Diver. ✌️
And by October, I am already an Open Water Diver thanks to the wonderful staff at the club.
Together they have made me fall in love with diving.
Incredible instructors always attentive and vigilant, tons of equipment in all sizes, awesome guides who are super knowledgeable about the environment and its wildlife.
They also have absolutely adorable, spotless, modern, and super comfortable rental apartments right above the club.
There are no excuses for getting to the first dives when there are fewer people on the beach!!
Vans are constantly in motion to take us to and from the beach.
Access to dives from both the beach and rigid inflatable boat.
I am happy. I hope to be seen a lot over there!!

When I let myself be convinced by my son to take this diving course together, I wasn't entirely convinced. My surprise was when I found a team with professionalism above excellent, where their explanations, treatment, and empathy exceed any expectations.

Highly recommend it 100%, if you want to enter this world, whether you do a baptism or choose to take a course.

I did the diving baptism and it was great!!! We saw a seahorse, two octopuses, an eel, and a bunch of fish. The treatment from all the staff has been unmatched, very friendly and kind. To do this type of activity, it is key to go with an instructor for two people who can convey peace and confidence. If you also want to do the baptism, I recommend doing it with them!!!! Thank you very much to everyone, and I can't wait to repeat!!

Very good experience, the price is practically the same as in all the clubs in Tossa and even though it is a bit far, it is better for parking and they take you to and from the beach with a van and back to the diving center. The instructor, Ilaria, is delightful!! Very good explanation and practical application and very kind. Excellent attention on her part. We loved it

I got my OWD with l'amfora in a 3-day course. The experience was very good, my instructor Marina explained everything very well, we repeated some exercises that were harder for us to learn and at all times I felt comfortable in the water with the suit and breathing through the regulator. In the last dive, which was more recreational, we saw a seahorse, 2 rays (small mantas) and several small schools of fish. The diving equipment looked in good condition and quality.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
L'Amfora is a fantastic diving center. The staff is very friendly and professional, and they are always willing to help. I have back problems, and they helped me find the right equipment and adapt the dives to my needs.
I recommend L'Amfora to anyone who wants to learn to dive or improve their diving skills. They are a great diving center with a fantastic team and very friendly and professional instructors.
Thanks to Joan, Miguel, Ilaria, and Laura for their patience and help.
They also have catering service.

100% recommended center. During the baptism, I felt completely safe and accompanied, the instructor Dani allowed me to take my time, no pressure at all. I experienced a little anxiety that forced me to surface, but I was able to go back down thanks to his encouragement and patience. It was hard for me to disconnect, but in the end, I managed to do it. Thanks for the experience, great team ☺️

Highly recommend! I did a baptism with them and it was the best choice I could make. They are all super nice and make you feel welcomed to the world of diving. My instructor was Manu, who made sure I wasn't scared at any moment, making my first experience in diving calm and wonderful. He gave me a very good initial explanation, so much so that I already felt comfortable in the water. Marina was also very kind and friendly. I will definitely do the open water course with them.

Marina, Manu, and Joan conveyed their passion and joy to us, we felt very cared for, and we recommend the experience 100%! Additionally, they take pictures of you and you have the memory without having to worry about bringing anything. There's a bar, showers, lockers... In summary, fantastic!

We went to do a group baptism. Despite having a lot of respect and even fear of the sea, the team made me feel safe the whole time. From the explanation to the last minute of immersion. For anyone who feels a minimum of curiosity, l'amfora is 100% recommended. Both the equipment and the staff are a 12 out of 10, I felt safe and supported the whole time. That said, highly recommended and thank you very much to the team.

I took the advance + NITROX course with my buddy Carlos, I have dived in many dive centers and none like this one, good attention, good material, a lot of coordination and very punctual and serious in everything. We had the pleasure of doing the course with the instructor Niko, a pro, the theoretical classes were very enjoyable and in plain language, a lot of trust and communication underwater and above all safety. He knows how to time things very well and gauge each person’s experience, if you struggle with an exercise he helps you, and if he sees you're doing well he lets you continue and gives you more difficult challenges, he knows the beach perfectly. Mentioning Sebas, Marina, David... really pros! Without a doubt we will repeat our next course.

Discovering the world of diving has been one of the best experiences of my life, and having done it accompanied by the fantastic team at this center has been, without a doubt, what made me fall more and more in love with this activity. It's a pleasure to share time with you above and below the water, you are awesome! In addition, the center has great facilities, it is spacious and very comfortable, it has two changing rooms with several showers and a seasonal bar with options for delicious meals. 10/10 in every aspect. The best option to discover the endless underwater magic of Tossa!

This summer we will do the Open Water!

Fantastic experience:
I fully recommend this diving center. Before deciding to choose one of the 50 that are in Tossa, I chose this center to certify my courses because of its professionalism and above all the way they care about you becoming a good diver. It is important not to look for low-cost centers, as safety comes first and this center ensures that your certificate is properly granted after good training. On the other hand, in Tossa de Mar, parking in the summer is in the best location, since there is guaranteed parking and they transport you to the dives. As for the instructors, a 10. Starting with Sebas, its founder, and in my case, Ilaria. Very good teachers, with a lot of experience and who transmit 100% security. On the other hand, the diving center has a good community, bar, good rental equipment, and discounts for students for guided excursions. Don't think about it. 100% recommendable.

Fantastic experience:
This is my first time diving in Tossa de Mar, and I chose this dive center based on the reviews it had and comments from people I know who have dived with them.
The facilities are very spacious and comfortable, and they are perfectly equipped with all the necessary material for safe and fun dives.
I was getting a dry suit certification, and from the very first moment, they attended to me in a friendly and professional manner.
During the pre-dive briefing, they explained everything necessary to enjoy the experience of diving with a dry suit in February (the water temperature was 13 degrees Celsius), but thanks to the previous guidelines I read on their website, I brought the necessary clothing to make two consecutive dives without feeling cold.
Their staff seemed very professional both in work and out of the water. Furthermore, they are very approachable, which allowed me to have a better experience.
In short, when I return to Tossa, it is very likely that I will repeat at this center.

I did a dive a few months ago (so far I haven't seen how important these reviews are) the instructor a 10, I think his name is Joan. I went into the water about 6 times, I was getting anxious and he gave me all the confidence to finally enjoy. Then the feeling was brutal. The only thing I didn't like was that later I asked for my photos and they kind of ignored me, but this is more about the center. But for diving, I would definitely go back.

Tossa de Mar offers wonderful underwater landscapes and crystal-clear waters that compete with the best diving destinations. L’Amfora has excellent facilities, fantastically equipped, and with the help of Sebas and all his collaborators, we enjoyed all the corners they know so well, whether on their beach outings (la mar Menuda) or by boat. Totally recommended for all of us who love the sea and diving.

Fantastic experience:
This past summer we took the OWD course at this center on the recommendation of a friend. I thought they were recommending it because of the facilities and rental equipment. And indeed, L'Amfora has outstanding facilities, both the dive school and the apartments they rent (completely new, very clean, and welcoming), and they have a lot of rental equipment all from very good brands (Cressi).
But while taking the course with my son, I was intrigued, I was expecting something more; I was looking for instructors who would provide trust and security. And they succeeded. Thanks to Sebas (thanks to the advice of starting the course during the week, it was the closest thing to private lessons) and to our extremely responsible instructor Nico (who was very attentive to us during all the practices, he even worried about helping other nearby divers).
During the course, we made the last two dives of the course with another instructor, José, at Las Barras.... He had the location of all the fauna very well controlled, the fauna he was able to show us was amazing; lobster, grouper, dentex, morays, imperial bream, brotola, spearfish,... even my son was able to see a nudibranch (a Felimare ssp)...
In summary, a very good center, with outstanding facilities and equipment, with very responsible instructors and guided dives where they have all the fauna very well controlled.

Simply great. Tossa is an amazing place to dive, but also at l’amfora, they make everything easy, fun, and above all very comfortable. Very good facilities, a spacious place to change, sweeten your gear, and leave your things while you dive. A very professional team, but at the same time fun and passionate about what they do. They teach you about the bottom of their seas and everything related to their marine life. The van rides or the time between dives passes quickly with laughter and jokes. As soon as I start to move away from Tossa and l’amfora, I can only think about the next time I will return. A dive center highly recommended!

Fantastic experience:
I go all year round and it is easy to park, even in summer. The spacious areas to change and leave equipment are greatly appreciated. I leave and prepare my camera calmly away from weights and bottles, and after finishing the diving, it is easy to rinse it. But what I value the most is the personalized treatment from Sebas with the divers. In Tossa with L’Àmfora, five stars.

Oh! And easy free parking!

We usually go with some friends from Bilbao once a year. The treatment and professionalism are beyond doubt. They also have a plus of friendly and caring people that hooks you. This October I went with my two daughters and their newly acquired title in August. They treated them like royalty. Keeping an eye on them beyond what is expected even during the dive. And providing great advice with respect. As an enchanted father and as an admired diver. The only flaw they have is that they love what they do too much. ;-)

One of the best diving centers on the Costa Brava. Every time we have dived in Tossa with Sebas, we have seen life where we could barely tell an alga from a crustacean. This last time we went with our 12-year-old son who enjoyed his first dive. We felt very calm and confident, despite the nerves of taking an inexperienced child, because we knew we were in the best hands. One dive from the beach and another from a boat, undoubtedly the little one enjoyed himself with so many fish and we also enjoyed seeing how he didn’t separate from his instructor and was amazed by everything he was discovering! We are delighted Sebas, and without a doubt, we will continue to visit your diving center. Facilities and equipment perfect, all disinfected after each use.

We did a scuba diving baptism and an Open Water Course there. All the instructors they have are very friendly and attentive, but first and foremost, they are professionals in diving. During the 3-day course, we stayed in their apartments, which are very new and cozy, and have all the necessary services for a good stay.

When you get out of the car, you know for sure that you are going to spend a morning full of laughter and memorable dives. It's magical that a center with such an important volume makes divers of all levels feel that it is our reference center. And the instructors give their all in every single dive so that every client, no matter who they are or what level they have, leaves happy. The most powerful center on the Costa Brava remains a family center. After 20 years of diving all over the world, L’Àmfora is my home, my family.

In addition, the center has a bar with a terrace, and all the food I have tried is delicious!! It also has apartments to accommodate clients. I mean, it has it all!! The instructors stand out for their professionalism, and there is also a super good atmosphere that makes me feel at home. Sebas, the owner of the center, has a lot of experience and knows every corner of all the dive sites. He runs the center with dedication and passion, and his classes are the best I have ever heard (in 11 years of diving), very comprehensive and well explained. With the same passion and excellence, Sebas trains his instructors, which leads him to have a truly valuable team every year. Personally, I am delighted with the treatment received by the staff, and thrilled to continue learning from the best.

I have been in the club for 7 years, completing all my training with them. I am delighted with the service and attention. Instructors come and go, some stay, but they are always attentive and pleasant. A dive center always eager to improve, hence the renovation of the infrastructure. The latter offers a lot of convenience not only for training but also for the stay and various amenities during the courses. Also located just outside the village, which makes parking free and with the van service, you can comfortably and quickly reach the dive site. Happy to keep going there! See you soon!!!!

It is run by Sebas, who, besides being a more than experienced diver, is a professional in what he does. You feel like you are with family the whole time. The same goes for every guide and instructor at L'Amfora. Clean equipment and in excellent condition. With this human talent, you always feel safe underwater. I did my AOW here along with the dry suit course and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to train and practice at the best diving center on the Costa Brava. Also, they have a café-restaurant and hotel within the facilities, you can't ask for more. The only thing I would like them to implement is card payment. All in all, a 10.

Light-years away from the centers I have known on the peninsula, Canary Islands, Mauritius, etc. In addition to the explosion of life that Tossa de Mar offers you, which is brutal for me; many positive factors come into play. A strong point in Tossa are the seahorses. I have seen up to 3 in the same dive. For me, there is no other diving center like it, for what they offer and for their location. For them, safety is the first priority. That’s why they offer diving with NITROX at no extra cost. For many reasons, it is worth getting to know them.

A very professional diving center both for the people who work there and for the equipment. I loved the team's dynamism and, most importantly, the good vibes that the people convey, which makes the experience definitely worth repeating with them in the Tossa area.

We did the scuba diving baptism and it was an unforgettable experience. The instructor Carlos explained everything in great detail and was teaching us many things under the sea. Also, the girl who gave the theoretical class made it very enjoyable. The experience was top-notch.

We did the baptism last year, a short experience but very rewarding. This year the Open Water Diver, 3 days in their apartments, which are great, and the course was wonderful. We learned a lot and had a great time. Toni, Manu, Sebas, and Alicia were lovely, everything was perfect! We will definitely return.

My partner and I took the OPEN WATER course and it was spectacular. The instructors are amazing!!! We were well attended at all times and they were very attentive and professional. The dives are perfect for learning everything essential; the last dive done by boat is BRUTAL. The facilities are very cool and they have a bar where you can relax after classes and eat very well. We took the offer for the course plus the apartment, which are in the same facilities. They are new apartments and are very well equipped. Thanks to the whole team for these days and we will definitely see each other soon!

Fantastic experience:
I have taken the open water course and some dives. My experience has been unbeatable. The friendly and pleasant treatment from all the staff, especially with those I have interacted with the most, Sebas who offers every possible convenience and is always smiling. Miriam, my teacher, super attentive, friendly, and excellent at explaining exercises both in and out of the water. Miquel, a wonderful guide who knows the area and shows you many octopuses, nudibranchs, morays, etc... that would go unnoticed. It’s clear that they love what they do and that makes it enjoyable.

We dedicated the weekend to take the open water course and it has been a great experience at an unbeatable price. Great staff and instructors. Specifically, we had Miriam to start with and she did perfectly, with a lot of patience and attentive at all times.

Fantastic experience:
Today we did a diving baptism and it is spectacular, both the facilities, Sebas and his staff (thank you Alicia for an amazing day), and the diving itself! Octopuses, sole fish, mini cuttlefish, anemones, and a countless number of fish. If you want to do a dive, don’t hesitate! This is the place! And with the sticker for the car! We will definitely be back!

Great diving center full of professionals. We did our baptism there and didn’t hesitate to take the Open course. Great facilities, where they have their own apartments attached to the center. Very competitive prices with training and dives that are very, very correct. Without a doubt, the best family to get started in the world of diving.

Fantastic experience:
In 2018 my partner and I decided to do a baptism, and with this experience they got us hooked on diving forever, and to their center, which we love to escape to whenever we have the opportunity! After the baptism, we continued going to their center and got our Open Water with all the guarantees: theory, classes starting from the beach, and also one jumping from a boat. Always with instructors who are great, and also, super professionals. After completing the course, we have continued going for guided dives, and of course, we wish to get our Advanced certification at their center soon! We couldn't conceive of it being anywhere else, as we could say they are our diving family, haha. We have been able to dive in different parts of the world thanks to the great foundation they helped us build from being beginners, we feel safe diving in different circumstances, and we will always be grateful for that. We also thank them that in every dive they transmit the love they have for this sport, which we share, because you have to dive from the heart because it is not fair to do it any other way, and they know it and make it clear in every immersion. They are kind, professional, we have had some very good fun times. The whole staff is 10/10, the facilities are newly renovated and welcoming, the equipment is the best we have ever used, close to Tossa beach (they take you there in a van) but without the stress of the center, and very reasonable prices! At the helm of this wonderful project we have Sebas, a great guy! haha! Thanks to him, this whole world of l'Àmfora comes to life every day and is what it is: for us, definitely our reference center since the beginning and surely forever! 100% recommendable, we can't highlight anything negative. A hug for the whole team! We can't wait to see you and the seahorses!! hehe

Thanks to them we discovered the wonderful world of diving, they are much more than a center, they are a big family. Both the facilities and the equipment are luxurious, the instructors and dive masters are incredible, they infect you with their love for the aquatic environment, and then there's Sebas, who is a star in every way. I recommend the center 100%. Whether you want to start out or you're a diving enthusiast. Every day at l'Àmfora has been unforgettable. Thank you very much for everything!!!

Fantastic experience:
It's a family-oriented and friendly center, full of professionals who convey passion for diving... And that's vital! Spacious, super comfortable, and the equipment is of good quality. Also, easy to park and available accommodation. Recommended 100%!! I wouldn't go to another diving center in Tossa if it's not at l'Amfora!

Fantastic experience:
The best diving center in Tossa, feels like home! Everyone is a great professional, personalized attention, great knowledge of marine species, and the diving is unbeatable! Only an hour and a quarter from Barcelona! In addition, the center is very spacious and parking is easy. Highly recommended.

Diving center with good professionals and equipment in perfect condition. Very good vibe with the instructors, which helps to enjoy the diving experience at both beginner and advanced levels. Without a doubt, I will repeat as soon as I can.

Fantastic experience:
My experience at this diving center was unbeatable. The equipment was in perfect condition, the facilities too, and best of all, the professionals who work there, especially Alicia who was my instructor. She is a great professional, I felt very comfortable with her, she helps you with everything you need, and you feel super safe while enjoying the seabed. Without a doubt, if I can, I will repeat at this center in the future. I recommend it to you!

We did a refresh with Nico and it was great. Lots of patience and knowledge. Thank you. Good facilities and a bar where you can recharge.

Fantastic experience:
I completed the Open Water and it was 100% perfect. Parking was no issue at all, absolute professionalism, very good atmosphere and treatment. The dives were spectacular, but aside from that, they care that you learn. Also, I stayed in the apartments that are in the same center, a luxury.

Fantastic experience:
The facilities are amazing. There is plenty of space around to park and a great and very professional team.

Fantastic experience:
I felt motivated to update my previous review because of how happy I am after completing the Advanced+Nitrox course with l’Àmfora! Both Sebas (the boss), David, Andrés, Alícia, Nico, etc., are very good instructors and very good professionals who help you at all times and are there for whatever you need. The theory and practical classes are VERY well explained and with a high level of professionalism. They strive to make you truly a good diver with a good understanding. We even spent 3 nights staying in the rental apartments they offer for those taking courses, and the apartments were unbeatable! Everything was new and very well maintained. The facilities and equipment are in perfect condition. The dives all have a surprise to offer you: seahorses, moonfish, cuttlefish, barracudas, lobsters, everything! The center is constantly evolving, and every time you go, you find something new! They also offer free Nitrox! Being a reference center on the Costa Brava and located in Tossa de Mar (lots of diving), it is usually always bustling, so for those who are a bit rusty in diving, I recommend diving outside of peak hours or during the week to be more relaxed. Thank you very much for everything!

Fantastic experience:
Diving center of 10, the facilities are huge, with two desalinization areas, changing rooms for boys and girls, and a good area for free parking. They have recently opened the bar, along with the new desalinization area. They provide van service from the diving center to the diver area at the beach of La Mar Menuda. It has good professionals and a lot of empathy. It’s better to call to reserve your tanks or guided dives because during peak season they tend to be at 100% capacity, so you have to be proactive. For all these reasons, it is the best center in all of Tossa de Mar.

Fantastic experience:
Great reference center on the Costa Brava, exceptional service, spacious facilities, open all year round, professionals, fun, reasonable price, equipment in good condition, everything clean... Guides committed to giving you guided tours full of wildlife and safety. The different beach routes are very cool. Parking is easy, and they are improving the facilities. I never get tired of repeating!

Fantastic experience:
Like at home nowhere else, well yes, at l'Àmfora! Every time I go diving, and since the first day, both Sebastià Solans (owner of the center) and all his instructors make me feel like part of the family they are. For diving and having a good time, one of the best centers in all of Catalonia!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
A perfect place to enjoy the sea in the company of good professionals. If you are not very experienced, or you don't know the area or you want them to show you the most special aspects of the ocean floor, you can always count on magnificent guides. If you go on your own, they will always drop you off in their van and won't limit your diving time. They have a ton of gear and in all sizes!!! And now in winter warm showers and heating...in short...a luxury of a center!

Positive experience:
We had a great time. We had Marina as our instructor and she was so nice to us, plus she had a lot of patience :) The only downside I would say is that there were a lot of people and we had to wait quite a bit. The price is very good, €53 for 2 dives with everything included from the beach.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Good dive center for shore dives in Tossa de Mar. The instructor was friendly and attentive. The only downside was the equipment... my wetsuit had a broken neck and they gave me a oversuit, I had water in my goggles the whole time.. but my partner had no issues with the equipment. The owner was also super nice and attentive. 100% recommended.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
For renting equipment, they are a 10: good price, great service, all possible facilities, and the bottles well charged, with up-to-date inspections and in perfect condition. And above all, very good vibes, 100% recommendable!

Fantastic experience:
I did the baptism and my boyfriend did the OWD course (mid-August 2015). We are both extremely satisfied with everything in general: large and clean facilities, very pleasant personal treatment, very good professionals, magnificent teachers, they pick you up and drop you off at the hotel, punctuality, etc.
In my particular case, I greatly appreciated the excellent personal treatment they had with the 'baptized', since I was initially a bit nervous and they made me feel very calm and secure, without rush or stress, so I could enjoy the activity a lot. So much that I want to repeat or do the OWD myself!!
They make you feel at home, in an atmosphere I would say is almost family-like, showing great professionalism that gives you a lot of security, trust, and tranquility when diving with them.
We are very clear that we will only do our training and first dives with this center.
All the divemasters and instructors have been fabulous (all) but I want to give a special mention to Taíto and Sebas, for how they made both me and my partner feel good. And the monitors of my baptism...also a 10!!!!!
See you soon!!!

Fantastic experience:
For a trip this year I wanted to get my OW and after looking at many places I decided on L'Amfora. What I liked the most is that since it's not on the beachfront you can easily park and they take you in the van in no time. I took the course in May and they had no problem with me being alone with the instructor during some of the dives without forcing me to coordinate with more people. Both the instructors and the staff at the facilities are very professional and above all it's a family atmosphere. I recommend it without any doubt and now that they offer dry suit courses, you can continue diving in winter.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Without a doubt, one of the best diving centers in Catalonia. Professionalism and a good atmosphere managed by the Solans family. Courses, guided dives, and first-class equipment. Possibility of diving all year round with dry suits available for rent. Notable convenience for parking throughout the year.
Totally recommended!

Fantastic experience:
The best diving center we have ever known, without a doubt, not only because of the professionalism of the people who work there, but also for the friendly and family-like treatment we have found.
It's been over 3 years since we started diving with them, and in every dive we do, we learn and discover something.
They are open all year round, so it is one of the few centers, if not the only one, where you can dive all year long, and thus discover the different species that inhabit the Mediterranean in each season (from scorpionfish in winter to Moonfish when the good weather starts to come...)
They are passionate about this world, and they will make you enjoy, respect, and love our sea :)
Totally recommendable!!!

Fantastic experience:
They are the best, I did the OWD with them, adapting to my schedule and without any problems, besides they know the whole area perfectly and you don't come out of the water without seeing something new. The treatment is excellent, parking is easy as it is on the outskirts of the town and allows you to park comfortably, then they take you down to the beach in the van and take you back up. They also have great facilities. They are great professionals and above all great people.
