Scuba Alegre Dive Center: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
Excellent diving club!
The instructors are very competent and attentive.
There is the possibility to do safety exercises in the pool, which allows you to make the most of the diving time once at sea.
Also, the club "Scuba Alegre" truly advocates a safety approach, as a team member always remains on land/on the boat and has the necessary training to provide care in case of underwater accidents.

Fantastic experience:
We were on vacation at Scuba Alegre Diving Center. If I could give ten stars, I would. The dive center is very organized, everything is very tidy and clean. All the diving instructors are super helpful and always very friendly. The trips always take place by boat and the dive sites are adapted to the weather conditions. The diving groups are very small, as there are always at least two or three instructors with the dives. Thank you very much for the wonderful time we were able to spend with you.

Fantastic experience: I’m a very new diver, and my dive with Scuba Alegre was a lot of firsts for me (first boat dive, first saltwater, first dive out of the US). From the start of the experience, Sebastian at the desk was so friendly, communicative, and helpful. Then when it came to the actual dive, Tania was incredible! Our dive together was not only so beautiful, but I felt very safe and prepared with Tania by my side! Even during a very rough bout of motion sickness, she and all of the staff on the boat were so kind and helped to deal with all of my gear so I could take deep breaths and not be sick. And every person I encountered that worked for Scuba Alegre was just as friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough, especially for travelers!

Fantastic experience:
You immediately feel comfortable and at home here. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, you get a complete worry-free package here. For those who do not speak Spanish or English, German is also spoken. The guides are really open to all questions, very friendly, helpful, and know great spots. Everything is top organized. I will definitely come back, it was really awesome, keep it up.

Fantastic experience:
Scuba Alegre is a very good diving center. I was there for the second time this year and participated in some great dives again. I always felt comfortable since everyone there is very nice and helpful. There is an overall friendly atmosphere. There is also always enough time for setup and takedown, everyone is very relaxed, and if there are any problems, you are helped immediately. The diving spots are beautiful. The diving instructors do a very good job, so you can enjoy every dive. Between dives, there is enough time to drink something and eat fruit that is offered on the boat. I had a lot of fun and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year.

Fantastic experience:
My son (12 years old) completed his Padi with Pierre, he loved it! Very good care, great organization! Bravo and thank you!
Translated from French
Positive experience:
We completed six dives over three days, as well as booked the 'Basic Diver' for my son.
Overall, the dive base was well organized, the guides were professional, and the quality of the equipment was good (Mares). The training for the 'Try Dive' was also presented lively and entertaining.
The dive spots were excellently chosen. What surprised me were the many corals in all colors. Moreover, we saw morays, colorful snails, lobsters, rabbit fish, barracudas, and much more. We dove through many large caves. Overall, the dives were truly successful. The practical dive also thrilled my son.
The only thing I found displeasing was the morning rush. While assembling and checking my equipment, it happened twice that the team wanted to load my equipment before I was finished. Additionally, on one dive, the equipment was loaded onto the wrong trailer. This was only noticed at the harbor. I have dived multiple times in Italy. There we were given time and worked more carefully.
Conclusion: The dive base and spots are recommended if you don’t let yourself be rushed.

Fantastic experience: We booked a snorkeling trip at Scuba Alegre Diving Center. The reception was good and we were helped with everything. The people are all very nice and the service is top-notch. Even though we are experienced in snorkeling, a good explanation was provided. We hadn't booked a guide, but we were told where the best spots to look around were. Afterwards, we were nicely assisted again and received a piece of fruit and some water. That was very nice.
Fantastic experience: Diving with Scuba Alegra was awesome - I highly recommend. We had multiple dives on different days: my daughter completed her open water course, and we went on several dives with and without the children. The team is excellent, professional and very friendly and helpful. The equipment was in good condition, and the team was flexible and happy to assist if changes were required both in equipment and in scheduling/rescheduling. The team was happy to find the best fitting diving program for our different diving levels. A very positive experience - Thank you, Scuba-Alegre!
Fantastic experience:
I have completed several dives here. Super nice and professional staff. The spots visited are also great. A modern diving base with enough space to gear up.

An extraordinary diving experience on the Costa Brava! This dive center not only offers beautiful diving spots but also a team that stands out for its friendliness and competence. The excellent organization and coordination by Eva and the office team create a smooth and pleasant atmosphere.
Particularly noteworthy is the professional training that my sister and I received from Sebas. His thorough guidance not only helped me obtain my Open Water Diver certification in 2021, but also always provided me with a sense of safety. The excursions on board were marked by a great atmosphere and harmonious interaction.
My husband's recommendation led me to this center, and I am thrilled with my decision. This diving experience was not only educational but also a delight. For anyone looking for a diving adventure with a professional and warm team, this center comes highly recommended!
Keep up the good work!!

I got my Open Water Diver license here in 2018. Since then, I have been diving in various places around the world with different diving schools. However, my wife, who also got her diving certificate here in 2021, and I keep going back to Scuba Alegre. The training, the communication, the safety - everything is simply perfect! Each staff member makes Scuba Alegre the best diving school in the world for us. It feels like a second family, and we always enjoy coming back and seeing the familiar faces, who are all so kind. Thank you very much, Scuba Alegre!

No matter if you are a beginner or you have experience, every dive was perfectly organized and the communication was great.

Fantastic experience: After almost 10 years, I had the chance to return to Scuba Alegre. It was nice to see that it is still a close-knit family. They all clearly work towards the same goal: training good divers and sharing the unique underwater world of the Mediterranean with everyone who wants to. I noticed how organized and punctual they are. No fin hangs on the wrong hook, no wetsuit hangs on the wrong coat rack. Separate wash basins for each item: wetsuits, BCDs, computers, dive lights, ... Everything happens in a pleasant and family-like atmosphere, but nothing is left to chance. There's laughter and joking, but there are no loose ends, safety is maintained at all times and adjusted immediately if you forget something. The diving area is a marine reserve, and Scuba Alegre places great importance on that as well. I recommend the club to everyone, both beginners and experienced divers. After 10 years, I had a fantastic experience again. Thank you, Scuba Alegre!
Fantastic experience:
Well-organized dives and courses with cool instructors, beautiful spots, and the dear Eva in the office, who keeps everything in order. You feel really well taken care of, and by the second visit, you almost feel at home.

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
For the past 5 years, Eva, Urtus, and their team of instructors have helped us discover the wonders of the underwater world of our coasts. Every summer, our children have been learning and improving thanks to the training courses they offer, in which they have always emphasized two primary objectives (which have almost become obsessions): the safety of the divers and at the same time, ensuring we enjoyed the best of experiences. Little by little, our whole family has become fond of this activity, which has also allowed us to see the sea with a new perspective, and now that we have discovered the life that exists, we love it even more. They have always aimed to advise us to make the experience the best, and they have succeeded since the first year when our children did a simple and fun Bubblemakers... until now, when they are already taking the Advanced course... In addition to an environment that is priceless, we have had the opportunity to share these experiences with other divers from a bunch of countries, who once underwater, speak among ourselves in a single language... Eva, Urtus, thank you so much for all these moments, and please extend that to your whole team of instructors and staff! As you have taught us, under the sea, let's leave only bubbles!

Fantastic experience:
The most serious and professional SCUBA company I know.
In 2013, ALL my family, including my 2 children who at that time were just kids of 8 and 11 years old, started our relationship with this company SCUBA ALEGRE.
From the very first moment I want to highlight their PROFESSIONALISM and of course their knowledge and compliance with the current REGULATIONS. ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS, we were informed about them, especially the OBLIGATION to present a SPECIFIC MEDICAL COLLEGE CERTIFICATE to dive and to have INSURANCE for this activity.
My profession as a Doctor does not exempt me, of course, from having to present, like any client, the previous documents and attending our medical check-ups with specialist colleagues in this activity… as well as EVA (an EXTRAORDINARY person and ORGANIZER) is the “reminder” angel of the “medical certificates that we need to update”, in our case every 2 years, since we have no physical disability. She is always available for all clients… via email, phone… or in person… Thank you EVA for your patience.
As for the rest of SCUBA… what to say… not only did we start (total novices in diving) but we entrusted our CHILDREN, who are now teenagers who adore the underwater world… URTUS “sparked the flame” and of course ALL of their team of INSTRUCTORS and STAFF made us feel SAFE, and taught us everything that is hidden under the water. Even going at 8 in the morning or at 3 in the afternoon in the middle of August is not a struggle in full adolescence, nor is it for us… going with them is enjoying (laughter and good vibes guaranteed) and learning… ON A HUMAN LEVEL THE BEST… and of course one of their best members is SCUBA, their dog… Kisses

Fantastic experience: Best diving center I ever visited. Super boats, one zodiac and one normal boat called 'coffee machine' and perfect dive guides. I have dived here for many years. Eva and Urtus and the whole team are wonderful. Always friendly and with a lot of fun. If you want to see caves and other places, book here. I always feel like home.
Fantastic experience: A true recommendation. Kind, cheerful people with their heart in the right place.

What to say. They are amazing. Urtus and Eva, thank you for everything. Of course, we will repeat this summer and in winter at Vall de Núria. Hehehehe.

Fantastic experience: Waterfall of positive emotions! I have a license of scuba diver ("babble-maker" = classical joke of my husband :)), I missed only one dive for an open-water diver. Well, I’ve been there today, an hour after I came we have started with refreshing in the swimming pool (Urtus, you are the best!), tomorrow and the day after tomorrow my dives! The teachers=owners of the centre are absolutely great - relaxed and positive! Atmosphere is fantastic. My warm recommendation to this place.
