Raya´s Diving Center Tossa de Mar: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
Xavi, Albert, Andrea y yo hemos buceado en este centro por casualidad y volveremos seguro. Han sido cercanos, amables y sinceros en un ambiente relajado. Paco nos ha dado consejos para mejorar y ha sido una muy buena experiencia.

Fantastic experience:
TLDR: Aunque me rajé in situ, recibí un trato muy bueno.
Hace una semana fui con 5 personas más a hacer un bautizo de submarinismo, donde se aprende lo básico para estar bien bajo el agua. Yo ya iba con reticencia porque no es lo mío ni me moría de ganas de hacerlo, pero decidí intentarlo, por lo menos. La instrucción y el trato fueron muy buenos por parte de Raya’s Diving, aunque tenía dificultades ellos siempre estuvieron pendientes de mí, no me sentí decuidado en ningún momento. Una vez en el agua, hicimos los típicos ejercicios y fue entonces que ya vi que no lo estaba disfrutando nada, por lo que decidí quedarme y esperar a que volviera el grupo. Entonces Paco me vió en la arena y me animó a volver con él, en el viaje de vuelta me animó y me ayudó a tranquilizarme y normalizar mi situación, puesto que sentía bastante frustración por fallar tan pronto.
En definitiva, a pesar de pinchar, fue una buena experiencia, el resto de mis amigos lo pasaron genial. Si algún día vuelvo a intentarlo lo haré solo con mi pareja y el instructor, evitándome la indeseada pero inevitable presión de grupo.

Excellent dives with Paula as the instructor, always attentive, a great connoisseur of the marine environment of Tossa, all about technique and safety. She conveys complete trust.

We will definitely repeat at Raya's.

Fantastic experience:
In this place, I did my first dive with my instructor from @funnydivinggo who provided me with personalized attention and it was spectacular. I am very happy with Paco and his excellent treatment. The equipment was perfect. I will repeat. Additionally, there is a restaurant next door where you can eat divinely and have plenty of food. It's all worth it. It's worth the price and customer service. Super recommended.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Great refresher after 15 years. Paula has been the perfect instructor to regain confidence and Paco is just like 15 years ago, professionalism and friendliness. I hope to return soon.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I dove 3 times over 2 days with Rayas. The facility is very efficient and well laid out, the rental gear is high quality and well maintained and the staff is first rate and helpful. We had a terrific experience. They are very focused on safety and good dive planning and the guide to diver ratio was kept low. On our second day, there were thunderstorms in the area with lightning and our instructor Julian elected to cancel the boat dives. We did a shore dive after the weather cleared and had a great dive. We dove with Carlos and Miguel and liked them both very much.
Fantastic experience:
Very competent!! 100% recommended

Forever Raya’s Diving will be my reference center and the center I will recommend for taking the first flutters in diving. Today I leave with a smile having learned and overcome my own fears. I want to thank the entire team and instructor for making this magnificent experience possible. It is not easy to be an instructor and teach under certain conditions, which is why the merit is double, and with what you have taught me and what I have been able to learn today, I feel safe always within my limits to continue this journey with you and wherever this 75% of the planet remains to be discovered takes me. Thank you very much Paco, Cristina, Josep, Oriol, you have been my teachers, my reference, my learning, and my safety. Best regards, see you soon!!!

Fantastic experience:
Tossa de Mar is a magical place for diving, the castle stands on the rocky mountain that encloses the cove in an impressive landscape right upon arrival. You enter the sea from the shore, it's ideal for beginners, thanks to Francesc's instructions we enjoyed and didn't need pool tests (that's why it's cheaper!). The price includes quality photos and videos, we were lucky to find them among all the dive centers, many thanks to Paco and Francesc for their professionalism. They are on a street in the village of Tossa but they take you with all the equipment, they have a lot of experience and they are all very friendly, they make you forget any nerves you might have. 100% recommended!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
It has been a spectacular experience. They take you from the center to the sea and help you with all the equipment. Our instructor Francesc was super nice and professional, as he explained everything from the beginning and did it wonderfully. He took great care of us before and during the diving, up to the last moment. I was a little scared at first but he calmed me down very well and once in the water everything flowed perfectly! He took photos and videos, I would definitely do it again!

Fantastic experience:
My family and I did the baptism at the center. From the very first moment, Paco treated us super well, providing a very close and friendly service. Before the dive, since it was our first time scuba diving, we were a bit nervous, but the calmness that the instructors, Luca and Aleix, gave us, and how well they explained everything made us feel very supported and we really enjoyed it! Furthermore, the facilities of the center are quite good. I recommend it 100%. I will return as soon as I can to get my Open Water certification there. Thanks to the whole team for giving us an unforgettable experience!

Everything is getting better, family-centered, close, and with good professionals. Overall, Tossa's quality-price is great, good prices, good service, and attention.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Joan is a great instructor! We did our Open Water Dive with him and he was very patient and explained everything very well. The materials are clean and staff are friendly. The only downside is that the owner seems to rush things too much and wants people to finish the courses as quick as possible.
Fantastic experience:
The best prices and offers, the best center in Tossa de Mar without a doubt. The instructors are amazing, Marina at reception is super nice, and Paco, the owner of the center, is the most attentive and kind person you could meet. Thank you for the experience at Raya's Diving.

Fantastic experience:
We entrusted our 2 children (13 and 16 years old) for a scuba diving baptism.

Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Good center to go to Mar Menuda. The equipment is in good condition and there are changing rooms with hot water showers.

Highly recommended!!

Fantastic!! A family... Very human team, very prepared and with the utmost guarantees for a luxury dive on the coast of Tossa! Paco, one of the few people who recommends what is really best for you, even if that means earning less for him, but it is best for you, people like this are hard to find... Besides being a great connoisseur of all the equipment, he is a luxury advisor, and the store in Barcelona has unbeatable prices... I bought all the gear from them, of good quality and most suitable for my level and budget. I got my Advance and Rescue certifications with them and learned a ton, plus they challenged me at all times, which forces you to step up. The prices are super competitive, the instructors are great, and the laughs you have are always in a safe and respectful environment towards nature that guarantees you a 10 dive!

Fantastic experience: Good diving school and shop. Best prices, amazing staff. They also have a diving center in Tossa de Mar. My choice!

I have taken several courses at Rayas diving and bought all my gear. There are many good things I could say about them, but to highlight: Commitment, good treatment, and excellent professionalism both in their courses and in their store. A great team, passionate about diving. Since I discovered this center, I have recommended it to all my friends, and to anyone who at any moment feels curious about peeking into the world of diving!

Fantastic experience:
Great professionals, both in and out of the water. Always looking out for the customer, recommending the best for each one. They are not interested in selling us just anything. With endless patience, good advice, and always a smile. Regarding prices, the best. And something important for me, they know how to advise you because they know what they are doing and what they have. I've gotten tired of going to stores to ask about some instrument or jacket and the salesperson having to read the instructions to me because they have no clue what they are selling. That doesn't happen at Raya's Diving. I recommend them 100%.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Thanks to them, I have already obtained my Open Water and Advanced PADI certifications very comfortably, both in terms of time and payments. The equipment is good and the main thing is that there is a very good atmosphere and they help you a lot. However, to rent equipment in Tossa, you need to go early because they are in high demand, a sign that they work well. Special thanks to Paco and Luciano who has been my instructor on my last dives.
