Costa Brava Divers: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
"Costa Brava Divers, tu centro de buceo".
He realizado en el centro el curso de Advanced Open Waters y me he sentido mucho (pero mucho) mejor y más cómodo que en anteriores centros de buceo.
El personal es un encanto y denota profesionalidad en las explicaciones, encima en temporada baja se centran aún más en tu comodidad y en que entiendas la base de los conocimientos impartidos.
Las intalaciones son muy completas y están muy bien equipadas, no falta ni un detalle. Te pueden prestar todo el equipo necesario para realizar los cursos.
En conclusión, me he sentido en manos de expertos en todo momento, ha sido todo un lujo.

Fantastic experience:
Magnífica experiencia con Costa Brava Divers. Fui con una amiga para hacer dos inmersiones hace unos meses y se portaron genial. Nuestro guía fue Carlos y majísimo, todo perfecto. Fuimos a las Islas Medes en barco y luego hicimos 2 inmersiones. La verdad que espero repetir porque me gustó el sitio y la experiencia con ellos.

Ha sido una experiencia perfecta! Buceamos un grupo de 5 personas y desde el primer momento el trato es de 10. Te dan un capazo para que dejes todo tu equipo y lo llevan en furgoneta hasta el barco. El barco es lo bastante espacioso para no molestarse entre buzos y la tripulación es súper atenta. Nos ayudaron a equiparnos si era necesario y nos hicieron un briefing muy claro. Aunque las condiciones del mar no acompañaron mucho la experiencia fue perfecta en gran parte gracias al equipo de Costa Brava Divers. El centro no tiene duchas pero sí un vestidor para cambiarte. Para desalar el equipo es a través de capazos que aunque son pequeños nos ofrecieron tantos cuantos necesitamos para poder dejar todo listo.
En especial mencionar a Raquel que fue muy atenta en recepción y a Iván por ayudarnos dentro del barco y hacer que todo fuera súper fácil. Muchas gracias! Repetiremos sin duda :D

Fantastic experience:
Recientemente obtuve mi certificación de Open Water Diver con ellos y no podría estar más contento. Desde el primer momento, el centro se mostró muy atento y profesional. El equipo que nos prestaron para la formación era de excelente calidad, lo que hizo que cada inmersión fuera segura y cómoda.
Quiero destacar especialmente a nuestro instructor, Albert. Su paciencia y dedicación fueron fundamentales para que me sintiera independiente bajo el agua. Gracias a él, he dado el primer paso hacia el buceo autónomo con confianza. Todos los compañeros del grupo estamos muy agradecidos por su enseñanza.
La última inmersión en las Islas Medes fue espectacular. Fuimos guiados por Celia, quien no solo fue muy atenta, sino también una excelente guía. Nos proporcionó videos de la inmersión, lo que fue un detalle muy apreciado.
Recomiendo encarecidamente Costa Brava Divers L'Estartit para cualquier persona interesada en inmersiones y certificaciones PADI. Sin duda, volveré para obtener mi Advanced Open Water.

Fantastic experience:
We had pending to complete the OWD course and it was a pleasure to do it with them. Especially Raquel but the whole team is very pleasant and professional. We did the 3 dives that we needed to obtain the title and added one more already with the title to the Medes Islands and it was incredible. We had all kinds of dives, with rough sea, calm, rain and jellyfish, but all were great. We left there completely satisfied and eager to keep increasing our experience. If we return there, we already know where to go. If I have to mention one downside, it is the lack of dressing room/shower. Thanks to them we can now enjoy the depths. Now to be careful with the jellyfish.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
An excellent stay! Super warm welcome, humor, good mood, whether at the club or on the boat, it was pure happiness! And the dives were very beautiful! I am very happy to have gone with them, I will return and I highly recommend it, Thank you again to this wonderful team for this beautiful stay!

Fantastic experience:
Diving in the Medes Islands is not always easy from one day to the next, as there is high demand. Costa Brava Divers easily accommodated us without any problems. The center is very nice, the support from the instructors is unparalleled, and I, being a recent diver (OWD), was given a lot of confidence and they helped me at all times. I like small and close centers, and they adhere to this philosophy. Both the facilities and the boat are very, very good; they are very comfortable. The prices are very good considering that diving is expensive in the Medes.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
Super club, nice welcome and instructors. The boat is comfortable (the sites are close). Nothing to complain about, thank you !!

I especially want to thank Raquel and Frida, you are lovely people. If we ever return to this area, there is no doubt that we will choose Costa Brava Divers. Thank you very much.

Fantastic experience:
Exciting diving club! The instructors are competent, professional, good pedagogues, and above all, very friendly, kind, and considerate. Beginners are pampered so that even in the early phases of their training, diving is a pleasure. I accompanied my wife during her 'Open water' training and did a 'refresh' and an exploratory dive; I appreciated the well-organized setup that avoids any stress, a nice boat with good music, and a constant cheerful atmosphere. Thank you! Special mention for Alberto (alias Jack Sbaro) and Bruce for their kindness and patience.

Super team, very friendly and professional. The baptism was just amazing, we are taken care of from A to Z, very well guided, everything was perfect, thank you very much !!
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
I took my PADI OPEN WATER course at the end of August 2023. It was a luxury to have Raquel managing all the paperwork, exams, answering my questions,... I felt very well taken care of. And Arbert, the instructor, was amazing!, in addition to being an instructor, he has the training as a PADI certifier (I think that's what it's called)... so he explains everything in a super professional manner. We first practiced in the pool (just for me) and then did dives in a cove in Estartit. Albert was at my side the whole time, preparing the equipment on the boat, avoiding the typical stress of my first giant jump. He was great at explaining things underwater, taking off my mask, vest, fins,... and putting them back on calmly. I was delighted and on the last day, I signed up for another dive outside the course, to the Medas Islands, but it was Sunday and Albert had the day off, so I let him rest. There was a French instructor who spoke perfect Spanish and was also super nice. Highly recommended !!!
Translated from Spanish
esperamos verte de nuevo el año que viene...ya te echamos de menos!
Un fuerte abrazo
Positive experience:
BAD. I signed up for a baptism intending to try and continue getting my open water certification. I was left with a bad feeling when they took me like a sack to an area without fish. I also didn't like not being able to see what a diving team is like. After going all the way to Estartit for the baptism, I felt a bit angry. I'm writing this to help people who have the same idea. Regarding the equipment and staff, they were indeed attentive and everything was more than correct.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: A friend and I have dived 6 times with Costa Brava Divers. The team is very nice, professional and friendly, the club is well located and has good facilities. I would recommend this club and hope to dive with them again.

Fantastic experience: The greatest experience I've ever had and it was very adventurous. I was feeling very safe while diving and Luke (my instructor) was very calm and told me the mistakes I was making while diving. My father could come with us on the boat even without paying because he didn't want to dive. I would do it again 100 percent.
Fantastic experience:
Diving as we love it. The team is professional, the center is very close to the dive sites. A great diving weekend.

Great stay, the guides do a quality job. Everything is set up to facilitate the diving, the team comes to pick up your gear at your hotel in a van so you don’t have to carry it, and they help you get equipped on the boat. The dive director is Greg, professional and very friendly (like the whole team). His briefings are clear and explicit, with a little touch of humor that never fails to bring a smile to everyone. The sites are splendid and the wildlife truly impressive. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience:
Came for the second year to Estartit, we dived again with Costa Brava Divers. Everything is great, from the kindness of Rachel upon arrival, the organization and professionalism of the staff, including Greg on the boat, to the beauty of the sites on the islands. The team is really attentive and caring, a pleasure to dive on the Spanish coast with them.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: One center in l'Estartit decided not to answer our e-mails, and another was, unfortunately, fully booked for the period we were supposed to go diving. So we ended up doing 4 dives with Costa Brava Divers completely random. Ended up great. We fully recommend you go diving with Costa Brava Divers, especially locations Tasco Petit, Carall Bernat and El Geix. Everyone is super nice and there is a lot of space on the diving boat. Also, the price they charged was very fair.
Fantastic experience:
Good and new material. Friendly staff. Good immersion points. Overall a very good center, very organized. To point out a downside: Instructors are very young but eager. Lacks a shower in the center.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
I did 2 dives with them (in Medas Islands and Montgrí coast) and I totally recommend them. Great service, everyone was very friendly, with a smile and patience to explain anything. I did one dive with Mateo and another with Iván, and they were always attentive to me and to make sure everything went well. I had to rent all the equipment and everything was fine. I will return because I wanted to see more diving spots in Medas and I will dive with them again.

Fantastic experience:
Outstanding treatment❤️ as they helped me at ALL MOMENTS. From carrying weight (they carried my equipment) to the water where I can’t jump from the boat (they helped me down the ladder) and helped me get equipped in the water. They convey teamwork, making me feel 'not useless' (my helplessness of not being autonomous creates that for me) and transformed my bad feeling to good. Nuria is a very good instructor, she is a calm person who transmits that feeling to you (very important in this activity). Avoids depth if she needs to teach you life, thanks to her we saw a wall of gorgonian that I will never forget in my life. I recommend diving with them without hesitation. IMPORTANT: Their center is right inside the port, very good location.

Fantastic experience:
An unbeatable experience and team! I use a wheelchair and had wanted to go diving for a long time. After multiple rejections from other companies, Costa Brava Divers made my dream come true with total professionalism, helping me at all times (from putting on the wetsuit, to getting on the boat, to doing the activity) with an amazing team. Without a doubt, I'll do it again!

Positive experience:
I dove at Costa Brava Divers, with Oscar Lebron as my guide. He was a great professional, attentive at all times to my well-being both during the dive and before and after it. The equipment was in good condition, the boat was comfortable, and the facilities were adequate. I only had one problem: the person who assisted me at the school did not recognize my certification, stating that it was not Open, when once I reviewed my accreditation, I am 'more than an open' as it allows me to dive to 20 meters instead of 18. (I am a ProTec 1* Diver) He did not verify the Iso certification of my card.
