Mateua Dive Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience! It was our first time scuba diving and we did the baptism with mateua dive, they were amazing and conveyed a lot of tranquility and helped us enjoy the experience a lot, we will return!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Great outing to 'la Xinxa'! The staff is very friendly! There is a great atmosphere. Our guide Cata accompanied us and made us feel very comfortable at all times! The rental equipment is in perfect condition. We will definitely repeat! Thank you!!!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A very good team, very welcoming and friendly. I nonetheless advise enrolling the children in pool diving preparation courses prior to the baptism, so they can manage the pressure in their ears, breathing, and other technical aspects well. At least after that they will be well prepared and can fully enjoy. We will return next year after better preparation.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Family atmosphere. Super nice instructors, always attentive to you, both in and out of the water. The dives in the area are very cool: a lot of life and landscapes with caves and beautiful light entries. The area and the center are highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience, a 10!! I took the Basic Diver course and I am very grateful, they have a very good team of instructors who convey a great vibe to everyone who comes to perform activities and training. As a first experience in this world of immersion, I am very happy because throughout the course my instructor (Isaac) always knew how to answer all my questions, explaining the key points and providing me with security and calm at all times, through a close treatment and making me enjoy a fantastic immersion on my first time. Without a doubt, I recommend going to try with them. A thousand thanks and see you soon!

Fantastic experience: After 3 years without scuba diving, I returned to the water at this center in La Escala and I only have good words: luxury service, very good atmosphere, and the dive in Baix de Cols was great. So I am very grateful for regaining my enthusiasm for diving and I recommend it 100%!!!

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: La experiencia en el centro ha sido inolvidable, tanto como por el propio buceo muy profesional, como por la amabilidad y cercanía con la que me han tratado en todo momento, majisimos todos :) Hice una primera inmersión y, desde esa, he vuelto muchas más veces. Lo disfruté tanto que acabé haciendo tanto la especialización de nitrox como la de profunda con ellos! Me gustaría también recalcar el trabajo de Marcos, instructor que me trató de diez desde el primer momento y junto a su amabilidad y profesionalidad hizo que mi experiencia fuese mucho mejor. Al igual que la experiencia, un instructor de diez!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic dive school. Carlos and his instructors have truly created a gem over the past 20 (!) years. 100% recommended to get your Open Water or just to join one of the dives. Everyone is super relaxed, mega friendly, and no one will find it too much trouble to help and support you. Don't look any further. Go to Mateau Dive and you will not be disappointed. Thank you Boris and everyone else for the great week! Until next time!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this center for 3 years where I got my Open and going back there is always like coming home. In addition, there are two workers, Jan and Marcos, who are super nice and friendly.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A unique experience, very suitable immersions for each level and each person, a super good treatment with clients. Sharing many laughs and good experiences 100% recommended!!

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I was lucky to be able to enjoy the coastal caves with two high-quality guides. Thank you Josepe and Albert for your welcome and adaptability.

Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I did two dives at Cala Mateua with MateuaDive in L'Escala and it was great. The team is super professional and the dives were amazing, with clear waters and plenty of marine life. Thanks to Óscar and the team for an unforgettable experience!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions of my life was to get my Open Water certification with Mateua Dive. I knew I would like it, but not that I would fall in love with scuba diving, with l'Escala, and with Mateua. It was in 2022, the best summer of my life, epic dives and adventures with the best people, a magical atmosphere, an incredible vibe. At that moment I realized that I was born for this. I got very involved with all the staff, helping to transport bottles and desalting equipment, I didn’t mind doing it for free because I enjoyed it. Imagine if they paid me to do it... Who would have told me that today I would be part of the family? A team of passionate workers with impeccable professionalism. The essence of each of the people who have passed through this center has contributed to the creation of the atmosphere that is felt at Mateua. I wish I could explain it better, I’ve done what I could, but believe me when I say that what one experiences in just 1 day at Mateua Dive cannot be described in words.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Un buen sitio donde aprender a bucear, disfrutar del mar y hacer buenos amigos.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Of all the centers I have visited, this one is undoubtedly the one I would highlight for customer service, the great atmosphere, and the enormous professionalism of the staff. Moreover, the location is impeccable, easy parking, and a post-dive resting area that is greatly appreciated. They convey knowledge with confidence and passion, and that is contagious. There should be more centers like this, honestly... We will definitely repeat!!! Thank you for everything and see you soon!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A fantastic center where you feel among friends from the very first moment, great diving professionals. Notably, their club, which allows you to dive always accompanied and to do other activities outside of it. They teach all courses with great professionalism.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We have done the specialties of Deep, Buoyancy, and Dry Suit with Marcos, a great instructor, attentive and very patient. Great instructors and a great center. Highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I have obtained my open water certification and it has been fantastic, amazing treatment and a lot of professionalism. Not only have I learned, but I have also enjoyed it a lot. Jordi has been my instructor and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Such a good vibe!!!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: After a 10-year break, we had a great experience diving again with the Mateua Dive team. They showed us and guided us through one of the most interesting spots, passing through several caves!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A reference diving center. Good atmosphere, good equipment, and people who make you feel at home. Thank you Carles and the entire Mateua Dive team for making our diving experience in L' Escala unforgettable. We will be back!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It has been a true pleasure meeting this diving center. From the initial booking to the end of the dives, we have felt very comfortable and have enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommended, we have left tasks to return. Many thanks Carles and team for everything. A hug from Madrid

Fantastic experience: Unforgettable experience! We took the Basic Diver course, very comprehensive for our first time diving. The whole staff was very friendly and our instructor Pepe was lovely. We left eager to repeat. Thank you Mateu Dive!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Here you go with super enthusiastic people, friendly and helpful, good explanation, good material. A long time ago we got our diving license here and we keep coming back.

Fantastic experience: I can not rate these guys enough! I am an inexperienced diver, diving alone, they put me at ease immediately, all the dive instructors were friendly and helpful. On my dive it was myself, Marcos the instructor and a lovely experienced diver Imma, they both looked after me and made my dive epic! We dove at La Xinxa which is beautiful, lots of different types of fish, a moray eel, lobster and underwater scenery. My perfect dive! 5 Star ⭐⭐ is not enough for these guys! Thanks so much!!!

Fantastic experience: Mateua Dive are more than 5 stars! I walked in, spoke with a lovely man who gave me my options. As I am an inexperienced and not overly confident diver they really looked after me. I dove at la xinxa with Marcos as our guide, very kind and informative and another customer who was very experienced. The dive was beautiful, great visibility, lots of beautiful fish, a moray eel and a lobster. The rock formations are so interesting and picturesque. I felt comfortable and confident and that was purely down to Mateua and Marcos and my fab buddy. I can't recommend this company enough, professional, safe and friendly, thanks so much!!!

Fantastic experience: Great experience of diving , I did my first dive ever , my instructor Jan made me feel super comfortable and people like David and Hodayfa were so nice , excellent place , very much recommended

Fantastic experience: Ik kom er al jaren, divecenter is en blijft al jarenlang van goede kwaliteit. Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Formule van omkleden in divecenter en vervolgens wordt je vervoerd naar haven voor de bootduik is geweldig. De boten zijn gewoon goed. Een kopje koffie of ander drankje na de duik is ook goed. Aanrader!!!

Fantastic experience: The experience we had with you is unforgettable. The team took care of us with great warmth. We came eight years ago and I had a very good memory of the club. I see that nothing has changed, it is still just as warm. I am happy to have come with my daughter, she was delighted and is ready to do it again, so am I. A big thank you to Gérard who carried us with serenity and kindness. And always with his smile.
Translated from French

Positive experience: Perfect for disconnecting and immersing yourself in an underwater adventure
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Disfrutamos muchísimo con todas sus inmersiones. Son una gran familia que te hacen sentir a gusto desde el primer día. En cuanto podamos nos organizamos un finde y volvemos.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you want to enter the world of diving, you definitely have to go with them! I got my Open Water certification with them and I couldn't be happier, they make you feel very confident in yourself and like you are part of that family. Thank you Pepe and Adria for being with me at all times and to the whole team for being the best.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We did the try dive with the whole family. It was our first diving experience and we did not know how we would experience it and the experience was different for all 4 of us. But the support of the Mateua Dive instructors was the same for all and amazing. Good instructions on the boat. The dive was 1 on 1 with an instructor at your own pace, no pressure to do things you didn't want to do, and they are very good at noticing if things were not as good as they should be. We felt completely safe. All in all, top experience from a professional company!

Fantastic experience: I got baptized with them and the experience was a 11. The whole team is very professional and friendly, and the place is amazing with caves, fish, and octopuses. I am convinced that I chose the best center, I recommend it to everyone. Keep it up!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Attentive and great professionals. A pleasure to dive with them. Hope to repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excelente experiencia!! Lo pasamos genial en familia y super divertido! Gracias Gerard por sus conocimientos y al capitán Alex por su pericia! Volveremos seguro!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Mateua Dive exceeded all my expectations and gave me an unforgettable experience while I was getting my Open Water Diver certification. I did the theoretical part with Gerard, and he was able to answer all my questions, everything was perfect. I completed a total of 6 dives: 2 in the pool and 4 in open water. Two of them from the beach due to bad weather and the other two from a boat. The one that impressed me the most was the dive at 'Les Cambres'. They adapted to my schedule and the little availability I had, and in 4 days I was already certified as OWD. During these days my instructors were: Alex, Melisa, Jordi, and Adria. All great professionals and passionate about diving. I felt very safe with them at all times, we had safety talks before and after the dives to refine the skills acquired. They shared their own experiences and anecdotes with me, which added a special and unique touch to my training, I felt like one of them. I will definitely return in the future to continue exploring the depths of the Montgrí Natural Park. Totally recommended dive center.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We’ve had a great try dive with our two daughters (12 and 10 years old). Thanks to Gerard and Adria, our dive instructors who took great care of us! They were really relaxed, took the time to explain everything and clearly liked their jobs. We’re happy that we also had the boat trip with the zodiac, which was a ‘bumpy ride’ due to the high waves.

Fantastic experience: Open water gevolgd bij een super team, leuke ervaring en super gezellig gehad! Mooi gedoken en goed begeleid, als je in de buurt bent is het zeker de moeite om langs te komen. Snorkelen is ook mogelijk en ook daar leggen ze alles perfect uit, voor de mensen die het duiken eng vinden is dat sowieso aan te raden

Fantastic experience: Unmatched professionalism only surpassed by the close and familial treatment of the entire team. The dives are incredible, especially Cala Viuda
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Muchas gracias por vuestro trabajo y dedicación tanto por el buceo como para la conservación y concienciación del medio!! Sois unos cracks en especial nuestro instructor Pepe que nos dio muchísima confianza y seguridad!! Nos volvemos a ver pronto seguro!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: An unforgettable experience. Thanks to our instructor Pepe, who provided us with calm, security, and passion. We are eternally grateful for this incredible first experience with diving. The area of l'Escala is a wonder to explore.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Trato exquisito, tanto Carles como su equipo. Cuando has ido unas cuantas veces, te hacen sentir como en casa. El centro es la definición de chillout, con sus espacios abiertos y su bar con terraza. Ideal tanto para hacer inmersiones de playa como para bucear el Montgrí en barca.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A magnificent place to immerse yourself in the world of diving. This is my first experience and my friend's second, and I must thank all the instructors, especially Gerard, who taught us the basic course we chose for our first time, explaining everything perfectly, and also Jan. Both of them were super attentive and extremely kind, so much so that we have decided to continue with the open water diver course. We are super happy and recommend it 100%. It's a unique experience.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A recommended place to go diving
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Incredible diving spot. We went for the first time last year in the middle of summer with a group of friends from Santcu. That long weekend was amazing, unforgettable. During that time, we obtained our Open Water certification in 4 days and received excellent theoretical and practical classes with Carles Angaril and his great friend and partner Víctor, who was an indispensable support to have completed the course. A year later, we have completed night, buoyancy, deep, and Nitrox courses at this diving center. To highlight, the people are very nice and friendly. The port is a 5-minute van ride from the center, where you travel in their old vans, all battered, from 15 years ago, but they still run. The boat for the outing is clean and functional. The gear they rent is from top brands like Cressi. The diving spots they choose, 10-20 minutes away, are impressive caves and underwater galleries, with very good visibility. Lastly, the food at the center is very tasty, good hamburgers, and pokes. At the end of the weekend, we left.... but we will come back.... !!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Gerard and Nacho have been very good instructors. They teach very well and drive the boat fast and it is very fun.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Super diving club, I recommend it, tight-knit team and warm welcome.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Very good experience. Amazing instructors who adapt to your level in the immersion to give that different plus. We will repeat!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Family snorkeling. It has been an incredible experience, for both children and adults. Simple and fun for everyone. We have learned a lot thanks to Gerard, Carles, and Jana. They have shown us the wonderful coast and the secrets it hides. Super friendly and professional. Totally recommendable.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice people
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We ended up in L'Escala as we found a beautiful Airbnb here. And out of sheer luck decided to call these folks. They speak Catalan, English and Spanish fluently. English was important for me as I do not communicate in either Spanish or Catalan. Right off the bat they were fantastic on the phone. Very quick, next day booking, amazingly easy to schedule. They accept all major credit cards. The diving itself was fantastic. While we didn’t see any big fish the underwater topology is amazing. And the reason I was able to really explore it was because of my main man Gerard. Ask for him. You won’t regret it. We buddied up and he knew the place so well was very relaxed and was able to take me to all the amazing spots. The rest of the team was especially professional and highly engaged in wanting us to have a fantastic experience. Highly recommend going to these folks! They love their job and that makes it a 100X more fun.

Fantastic experience: I was gifted a baptism that I did here for my birthday. They are very professional, yet very friendly. Jordi, Pep, and Marcos make you feel like one of the team. All of this makes you feel safe and very comfortable, making the experience seem very easy. Be careful, their passion for diving is contagious! I will likely end up doing the Open Water later on. See you soon!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this diving center. I took the OWD course with them and it was an ideal experience. The three instructors I worked with (Ignasi, Jordi, and Marcos) have a lot of experience, explain very well, and give you a lot of confidence. The service at the center was also very good and they adjusted to my availability to be able to take the course. I will definitely repeat!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: I obtained my OpenWater in May and June, and it has been an incredible experience. Not only because of the diving itself, but also because of the atmosphere and camaraderie. The instructors are all super nice, without exception, genuinely helping from the very first moment. A lot of attention to detail for a personalized experience. I highly recommend it and I will definitely return soon!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We did a baptism and it was great. Pepe gave us a lot of confidence. They explained everything very well despite going on a Sunday without a reservation. We will definitely go back.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Kudos to Pepe, Jordi, Jean Manuel & Marco for being exceptional scuba diving instructors! Thanks to them, our group of 6 people passed the Open Water Diver level and we all had an amazing week at l’Escala! Great team (French & English spoken), high-quality equipment and fair prices, will definitely come back during summer!

Fantastic experience: The kindness of the staff, very professional.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I completed the Open Water course at Mateua Dive and it was a great experience. I wanted to thank everyone for the warmth received from the staff at the center during these days, and especially my instructor Jordi, who has been very patient with me and has transmitted the confidence and security I needed at all times. Thanks also to David for his advice and help during the dives that he accompanied us on. After finishing the course, I was so satisfied that I decided to join the members' club. P.S.: Ignasi driving the zodiac is the best ;).
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I can say and confirm that it has been one of the most beautiful experiences I have had in my life. It was my first experience as a diving trainee and at Mateua Dive, I felt at home. I completed the first beginner course with 3 friends, accompanied by the instructor 'Jordi', a pro both in and out of the water. I can't wait to go back and get my open water certification. Highly recommended school, see you soon!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I have been a user of Mateua Dive for 15 years as a diving center, for me it has always been a perfect 10 with a great and family-like treatment. In fact, I have already hooked my kids with their courses and we are thrilled. Until now, I had never dared to go on one of their trips for fear of not understanding the language, but this year I finally took the plunge. I just returned from their annual trip to the Red Sea, I can still feel the waves on my body. The trip has been an unforgettable experience, everything was perfect, the organization, the boat, the dives, and especially the company. We enjoyed it immensely and lived together like a big family, and we can't wait to do it again.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A diving club like no other!! Service, quality and staff are magnificent. The best place to take any SSI course. Moreover, they organized a trip to the Red Sea with Sunny revolution that I don't have enough words to describe this experience. Magnificent boat, perfect crew and the staff from MateuaDive who organized the trip are stars! And it goes without saying that the fellow travelers were like a family, it feels as if they had selected the candidates to create the best impossible experience. Without a doubt, a diving club that cannot disappoint you.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Just back from a trip onboard organized by them to the Red Sea. I must say that logistics, preparation, organization, and the boat used these days are a 10. The food was perfect and the crew's treatment was very good too. But the most important thing was the experience lived and the treatment with the organizers of Mateua BRUTAL!!!! It was my first trip of this kind and I'm already saving for next year. María and Ignaci, thank you so much!!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The most qualified center I know. It's the first year I've been going and it won't be the last, as they have a lot of different boat outings, they have a pool for exercises, they have a bar... And above all, and for me the most important thing is an exceptional human quality, they have created an atmosphere of good vibes and family that makes you feel comfortable and at home from the very first day.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience starting scuba diving with the people from Mateua. A spectacular atmosphere that gives you a brutal confidence when being underwater. I think the prices are very competitive and also you eat very well in their bar in terms of quality-price.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Good diving center, convenience of transportation, good professionals, friendliness, and they create a good atmosphere; if you like diving, don't leave l'Escala without diving with them.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Comfortable center with bar-restaurant. As always, very friendly, great service! They have boat or foot (cove) departures.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The instructors are awesome (Carles and Gerard) the area is very beautiful snorkeling here is a real luxury, they have been explaining everything along the way depth, type of rocks, and 1000 more curiosities. We had a great time We will repeat!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I loved the basic diver with Jara and Gerard, they are great instructors! Congratulations and lots of kisses!! Also, the bar prices are very attractive.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Brutal experience these days with Mateua Dive. We did the Basic Dive and I already want to get back in the water. Very professional, good vibes, and very good training! Highly recommend 100%.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. The basic dive course is a perfect combination of theory, pool, and sea to get an idea of whether you like scuba diving or not. I enjoyed it a lot. Totally recommend doing scuba diving at Mateua dive, both for the staff and for the experience they offer. See you soon! ☺️
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: A bit chaotic, but very nice.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Muy buen centro de buceo: buen ambiente, buena embarcación, furgonetas prácticas para bajar a puerto. No abren todo el año, pero en verano es un centro con varias salidas (Reggio Messina, baix les cols, illa mateua, cala viuda, etc) En temporada alta es importante reservar las plazas con antelación, si se quiere niteox avisar con más de 48h. El staff es super cercano y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento. Disponen de bar/restaurante en el mismo centro. Por lo que la deco birra y un arroz siempre entran en nuestra planificación.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Muy buenos monitores
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: This week I did 3 dives with Mateua and it was a super cool experience. The conditions at the center are excellent, and the treatment from the team is even better. Special mention to the two guides I had during the week, to Gerard (double review for him who guided me for 2 days) who was attentive at all times, explaining and lending me a hand (he must have had a lot of patience on the first day), and to Jordi who guided me through the interior of the Reggio. Both conveyed the passion for diving that we love so much. A great team with whom I will undoubtedly repeat dives.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: 100% recommendable place. They are professionals and provide very personalized attention. Moreover, they are very fun and make the experience unforgettable! We will definitely return!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: What lovely people and nice dives made with guides. Beautiful place for a dive school and you can also get some food and drink. I'll definitely be back next year.

Fantastic experience: BRUTAL! The experience, the team, the place where we did the baptism, Jordi and Robert are awesome guys who showed us all the wonders we came across. The organization... I can't say anything that I didn't like! It has been a pleasure and we will see each other again very soon!! Parking is easy and no crowds at any moment!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: One of the best organized centers I have known in my 25 years of diving. All the staff very motivated to ensure you have a good dive. The facilities have everything you need to complete your dive: immaculate changing rooms and showers. They have a bar at the center with post-dive food that tastes heavenly. Can't wait to go back.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A true pleasure to do the baptism with them. They make you feel at home and enjoy the vastness of the sea. Jordi, a luxury guide who helps you enjoy to the fullest with security and tranquility!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A true thousand percent recommendation! I did a baptism with Ignasi that was BRUTAL! But I have to say that the whole team is incredible! The good vibes, the excellent energy, and the professionalism with which everyone works makes you want to stay, dive, eat, and have some beers all in the same place. Without a doubt, I will return to finish my pending task (to get my Open Water Diver) so I can go to the Red Sea and Maldives with you guys. Total thanks family! See you soon for sure!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!! The good vibe transmitted by the staff, the treatment they give you, the atmosphere created, and how professional they are. The place is spectacular for diving and then having a drink!!

Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10 treatment, incredible professionals, friendly, attentive. Family atmosphere and attention to detail. A great vibe is felt in the school. The equipment and facilities, another 10. The boat is spacious and comfortable. The food from the restaurant and the treatment, very good and good value for money. And the rest is provided by L'Escala, its sea and those beautiful seabeds. Thank you very much for everything, and we will repeat without any doubt! Having dived in some other center in the area before, we can confidently say that this is the best dive center in the area by far.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! Today we had a nice dive, right behind the dive school. The kids (10 and 13 years old) found it quite exciting, but the team at Mateua Dive took their time, explained well, and ensured they had a great first introductory dive. For us, it had also been 10 years since we last dove, but the instructors were able to refresh our memory well. They speak good English and adapt to our pace. In short, a highlight of our vacation and definitely a recommendation!

Fantastic experience: I completed the open water course at this wonderful center on the Costa Brava, at Cala Mateua, and it was the best decision. The entire team at the center makes you feel super comfortable; you feel like you are with family from the very first moment. Thank you to everyone who is part of this great diving center for making my first course an unforgettable experience!! Keep it up because you’re doing great. You make it easy to explore the great world beneath the water; I toast to the energy and good vibes you transmit, you guys are awesome.

Fantastic experience: My 16 year old son took the SSI course to become an Open Water Diver, excellent instructors, patient and multilingual. Possibility to walk to a dive spot from the school if you don't want to take the boat. Tapas bar, competitive pricing. Planning on returning next vacation +++++ Back in 2020, still as good.

Fantastic experience: A highly recommended experience! The team is very professional, they make you enjoy diving in a safe and fun way. We went for my boyfriend to have a baptism and I was able to go with them at all times renting the equipment. We will definitely repeat when we come back because he had a great time!

Fantastic experience: Really incredible experience! We did the Basic Diver with my partner and we liked it a lot (at first in the pool training it was a bit difficult, but later in the sea you relax and it was brutal) the instructors are professional people and very good people (Iván, Damián, and Carlos) people who live for and to make sure others enjoy and have a unique experience. !! WE WILL REPEAT!!

Fantastic experience: Place and professionals of 10. Especially Damián Rodríguez. Bravo to the whole team!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A magnificent diving center. Possibly the best I've ever been to. Good and comfortable facilities, more than friendly staff, instructors excited about their work, and even a bar and restaurant on-site for a beer after the dive. They also have a very large and comfortable boat that they don't overcrowd, allowing you to set up your gear comfortably and without stress. Special mention to dive master Iván, I couldn't ask for a nicer person. Hugs

Fantastic experience: I started my journey in scuba diving last year with the Open Water Diver! Nowadays, I’m still learning and getting better, continued my training with specialties and became advanced. This year I keep challenging myself with the Dive master program! At Mateua you’ll find an incredible team passionate about what they do, always willing to help and provide quality courses and service. I really like the vibes there! It feels like a family honestly! Watch out! When you try out scuba diving for the first time, then you’ll never stop and get addicted. I recommend the place 10000%.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular experience, good people, good instructors, and good companions. I will definitely repeat (for sure) at Mateua Dive. Thanks to all the staff. Unbeatable

Fantastic experience: Professional, clean, and fun experience diving. I particularly enjoyed their flexibility - we were able to use some of their equipment for some people and just fill up tanks for others who had their own equipment. The gear was clean and good quality, and the people were really helpful and well organized. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Unmatched

A guaranteed success!

Fantastic experience: good experience, it's a pity that because of covid they no longer make paellas, I will come back!!!

Fantastic experience: Incredible place on the Costa Brava, super friendly, family-like, and very close staff.. Carles, Ignasi, Anna, Robert... They have everything you need, they take you by van to the port where you catch the boat and do the immersion, 100% recommendable, because I can’t go more often due to work but I would if I could, they already know it!

Fantastic experience: Spacious and well-organized diving center. Ample showers and rinsing area. Covid measures. The staff is very friendly.

But the most important thing is that the staff is wonderful and they make you feel at home, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys diving with friends (even if you go alone, like in my case) Thank you very much Carlos!!! .... I will return
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: My diving center in capital letters! Since 2013, I've been diving with them since I got my open water certification, always receiving perfect treatment and very professional. I have taken friends for introductory dives and they have been delighted. I have also completed several improvement courses with them, and I couldn't be happier, not only because of the paying and doing the practices, you already have your certificate, until it goes well and you know what goes wrong and you fix it, they are not happy (I speak from personal experience), reflecting professionalism and interest in training quality divers. I could go to closer diving centers, but with them I feel like they are part of my family. Thank you very much, Mateua Dive!

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTE RECOMMENDATION!! I did my Open Water Diver course with Mateua and absolutely loved it!! I have never gone diving before but the diving instructors made me feel safe and comfortable. The groups are very small, mostly 3 people with two instructors / 2 guys and one instructor so you are perfectly taken care of underwater. They are very well trained and professional, always have a helping hand even though when they are very busy. (In other words: very patient with beginners like me.) The diving spots are also stunning (went to different ones every day), I saw lots of animals underwater and if you wish, you can do tunnels and caves. Concerning the whole service and everything I experienced, I‘d say the price is extremely fair - absolutely worth it. Mateua is a very lovely and welcoming crew!! I can also recommend a cold Clara made by Murat or David at the Mateua Bar after a dive ;) Special thanks to Till, Camille, Eva, Andrea, David, Rob, Ignasi, Anna, Carlas, Isaac, Alex, Albert, and Adam (hope I didn’t forget anyone) who all made my diving experience unforgettable. I hope to be back soon!! Big thank you and lots of love to the Mateua Crew <3

Fantastic experience: Excellent service from the staff, very friendly and attentive, especially from the boat captains, a 10

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Sport immersion, considered a risky activity by many, but for those of us who love it, our passion, it is true that it is not always predictable, hence the importance of a good diving and the professionals that make it up. The reality is that you are in their hands, and they are responsible for minimizing risks and fulfilling the expectations of all of us. This past Saturday we were with them, and after what we experienced and in comparison with other diving and their recklessness, it is simply to highlight the professionalism of the people who form this group and the treatment you receive. In a comment I made, I asked one of them about the atmosphere they radiated, and they answered me: 'we are like a family', it is the same feeling you get from being part of our passion with them. It is just an opinion, it is true, but it also has my admiration.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I'm not the one who dives, but the person I went with was very happy. What I have to say is that my companions came back late from the diving and at the bar they have, they prepared food for us... although it was quite late. I think it's worth mentioning since it doesn't happen to me very often and moreover with a lot of kindness and cheerfulness.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The best diving center on the entire Costa Brava! Can't wait for summer to come!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A bit stingy with the time
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I did the Try Scuba Diver. The theoretical class was totally enjoyable and captured the attention of the student, encouraging participation. The immersion in confined waters was sublime. We did a variety of exercises several times until they were perfect. The instructor, Ignasi, demonstrated great professionalism, patience, and kindness even with the students who had more difficulties. He conveyed a great sense of security to the students. The immersion in the sea was spectacular. I was lucky enough to do it alone with the instructor, which allowed for a totally personalized experience. This was at Xinxa, about 10 meters deep. First, we did some exercises practiced in confined waters and afterwards we explored the marine depths until we almost reached the bottle reserve.

Fantastic experience: I fully recommend this diving center and school, they treat you like an old friend, and this is very pleasant. They have a pool for practice, the beach nearby, and a boat and a zodiac in the harbor where they take you by van. They explain the dives very well before doing them. Moreover, the renovated place is very nice to have a drink and chat about how the dive went.
