    Great place with excellent instructors! Did a try dive first with my son and applied immediately for the open water course. Our instructor Adrian (“Jack Sparrow”) is a calm & easy going guy who instills a lot of confidence in your own abilities. All the other staff also very kind and enthousiastic towards all who come to dive or want to learn to dive. So: if in Herradura and want to explore the under water world (which is amazing by the way)? Go here and you’ll get a 5 star experience

    (Translated by Google) My partner and I really wanted to get our PADI Open Water Diver title, and we decided to do it at this center. From the moment we walked in the door we were treated great and it was all quite professional. The impeccable place, the super cool instructors and especially our instructor Sara, who for me, in addition to everything she knows about the sea and how she taught us everything with patience and love, taught us to respect nature and treat it with great care. she is a real mermaid! Ah well, the most important thing, a good round of beers at the end! . Experience of 10. We will return for sure. (Original) Mi pareja y yo teníamos muchas ganas de sacarnos el titulo PADI Open Water Diver, y decidimos hacerlo en este centro. Desde que entramos por la puerta nos trataron genial y fue todo bastante profesional. El lugar impecable, los instructores súper enrollados y sobre todo nuestra instructora Sara , que para mí además de todo lo que sabe sobre el mar y de cómo nos enseñó todo con paciencia y amor, nos enseñó a respetar la naturaleza y tratarla con mucho cariño. es una auténtica sirena!! Ah bueno, lo más importante, una buena ronda de cervezas al terminar! . Experiencia de 10. Volveremos seguro.

    Amazing experience and course. Both fun and great learning experience. Sara was the perfect friendly and knowledgeable coach, who made the course simply perfect, with all the necessary safety measures, great and easy to follow learnings and an incredible last day with 2 beautiful and fun dives.

    (Translated by Google) A disappointment, I had wanted to dive in La Herradura for years but I think we chose the wrong date, the wrong center or both. It was west and we had booked 2 dives, when we got to the first there was a concentration of boats that looked like "Manta point" in Nusa Penida, all full of divers, although the site was not so idyllic. We went to do a deep dive, we were 4 experienced divers and the guide, who was very nice but was quite on the ball, being at 18 mt I had problems (it had never happened to me before) among so many divers I took two kicks, I entered water in the mask, I had to ascend a little to compensate for my hearing, the computer began to sound so that I did not ascend quickly and I lost the group, so I was a little anxious and I could not relax, the instructor was not very aware, I was lucky to find my partner quickly and to calm down because I had a bad time. There was also power in the area and we turned around, shortly after I managed to start enjoying the immersion, but the instructor never asked us how we were going to consume, when we reached him to tell him that I was already going X 70 bars we turned around (He wanted me to warn him in the 100 but there was no one to catch up) I had to make the safety stop while I returned to the boat with the instructor and the others continued to dive at another height and they left me halfway back to swim to the boat. Total, my boy did not like the matter, and the second dive and seeing what he saw he did not want to do it, many divers, little attention, and few possibilities to enjoy. On the ship we said that we were not going to do the next thing and nobody told us anything, nobody put us down, everything was facilities. When we are going to leave, the boss was serving other clients, we legally line up to pay the bill, and he tells us that X will not do the second dive (and without asking us the reasons) he has to charge us because he puts it on his poster . He does not care if we had problems in the dive to compensate, some scare, setback, or even a strain or medical problem that can be common in these sports ... he only cared about his money (I can understand it but I had heard in the ship talk about how it was being the best season in years thanks to the covid) I do not understand people who care so much about getting money before taking care of customers, that they leave happy. I have been lucky to have dived in various parts of the world and I have never felt as bad as here. I will not return for sure, and less to see two octopuses, 3 sea cucumbers and a red coral surrounded by 40 divers (Original) Una decepción, llevaba años queriendo bucear en la Herradura pero creo que elegimos mala fecha, mal centro o ambos. Habia poniente y habiamos contratado 2 inmersiones, cuando llegamos a la primera había una concentración de embarcaciones que bien se parecía a "Manta point" en Nusa Penida, todo lleno de buzos, si bien el sitio no era tan idílico. Fuimos a hacer una inmersión profunda, éramos 4 buzos experimentados y el guía, el cuál era muy simpático pero iba bastante a su bola, estando a 18 mt tuve problemas (nunca antes me había pasado) entre tantos buzos me llevé dos patadas, me entro agua en la máscara, tuve que ascender un poco para compensar el oído, empezó a sonarme el ordenador para que no ascendiera rápido y perdía al grupo, así que me dio un poco de ansiedad y no conseguía relajarme, el instructor no estaba muy pendiente, tuve suerte de localizar rápido a mi pareja y conseguir calmarme porque lo pase mal. En la zona además habia corriente y nos dimos la vuelta, poco después conseguí empezar a disfrutar de la inmersión, pero el instructor no nos preguntó nunca como íbamos de consumo, cuando le alcanzamos para contarle que ya iba yo X 70 bares nos dimos la vuelta (quería que le avisara en los 100 pero no había quien le alcanzara) tuve que hacer la parada de seguridad mientras volvía al barco con el instructor y los demás seguían buceando a otra altura y me dejaron a mitad de camino volver nadando al barco. Total, a mi chico no le gustó el asunto, y la segunda inmersión y viendo lo visto no quiso hacerla, muchos buzos, poca atención, y pocas posibilidades de disfrutar. En el barco dijimos que no íbamos a hacer la sigueinte y nadie nos dijo nada, nadie nos puso pegado todo fueron facilidades. Cuando nos vamos a ir, el jefe estaba atendiendo a otros clientes, hacemos fila legalmente para abonar la cuenta, y nos dice que X no hacer la segunda inmersión (y sin preguntarnos los motivos) nos la tiene que cobrar xq lo pone en su cartel. No le importo si habíamos tenido problemas en la inmersión para compensar, algún susto, contratiempo, o incluso un tirón o problema médico que pueden ser comunes en estos deportes... a el solo le importaba su dinero (puedo entenderlo pero había oído en el barco hablar de como estaba siendo la mejor temporada en años gracias al covid) no entiendo a la gente que se preocupa tanto por sacar dinero antes que por cuidar a clientes, que se vayan contentos. He tenido la suerte de haber buceado en varios puntos del mundo y nunca me he sentido tan mal como aquí. No volveré seguro¡ y menos para ver dos pulpos, 3 pepinos de mar y un coral rojo rodeados de 40 buzos

    I didn't have any previous experience of diving. So I really enjoyed the possibility to try it with an instructor (they call it "buatismo", the baptism). She did everything for me. I just enjoyed the experience. I really felt safe in any moment. Before, I was afraid of practically any aspect, but I was just overthinking. Indeed, my mom (76 years old) did it too and loved it. She only speaks Italian, so she appreciated the fact that the instructor speaks italian too. So, I decided to get the certification up to 18 meters. I took the course in spanish, but I am pretty sure it´s avaiable in english too. In one week I got it. It´s necessary to check its availability. It takes three days in a row. So, if you plan to use your holidays, I suggest to book it in advance. What surprised me the most are the underwater landscapes and the wildlife. Much more than I could expect: dolphins, morays, octupuses, thousand fish. All in few hundred meters of coast. I took all the photos with my underwater camera, an Olympus TG-5. They are not stock photos. So it´s exactly what I saw. I didn´t take the photo of the dolphin (Sara M. took it), but I was there.

    Completed and obtained the Open Water Driver course with THIS school. It has been an amazing experience, as well as enriching. The team is exceptional as well as super professionals, but above all, thank Rux (my instructor). It has taught me so many things, both outside and inside the water!!! He explains each step with minimal detail and you feel safe at all times. Perfect diving facilities and equipment. Thank you team!!! 👌🏼 I recommend 100%

    The best place in Spain to dive!!! The environment is amazing, we were able to dive in a very quiet area even though the conditions on the beach were terrible, and the amount of fauna and marine life is impressive. But above all, you will not find a team of people like this anywhere else. We were extremely lucky to have Arturo as a teacher. He is a great professional, he puts a lot of dedication so that everything is understood and assimilated very well and that we are all very comfortable and trained as best as possible. He took great care of us, in addition to not stopping laughing with him. Also very grateful to have dealt with Rux, Sara and Indio, they are an admirable team who make you feel at home. When I finished the OpenWater course, more than just getting certified, I felt very happy to live nearby and be able to keep coming back :)

    I went with a friend to take the PADI Open Water Diver course, our instructor was Arturo, a person who transmits a lot of tranquility and is very professional. Very good atmosphere in the center and very attentive during the dives, showing us all the biodiversity. An unforgettable experience! :)👌🏻

    I had a fantastic experience doing the Open Water Diver course. The staff at the diving center is incredible. Arturo and Rux were our instructors and despite the adverse conditions we had in terms of weather, they always made us smile and took care of us all at all times. I hope to return soon, they are magnificent professionals and even better people!

    (Translated by Google) I return to diving after these difficult months, in this diving center where I repeat today and tomorrow more, which continues with a TEAM OF GREAT PEOPLE, always hanging on everything, diving areas with a lot of life. I recommend it 100%.

    I went last week and it was perfect. Great organization, great staff, the dive center is very comfortable and it's close to the beach, so you don't need to carry the equipment. During the diving, the guide was very helpful, enjoying the dive. One the best dive center I have been

    (Translated by Google) A pleasure to travel and in my case, cross half of Spain to go to this center. The Costa Tropical has a varied fauna and marine flora, so you will enjoy the place. The center is ten, I have already done several courses and great. The price table is marked (as on the web), so if you have any problems as I have seen in other comments, it may be due to your misinformation or confusion. What should undoubtedly be highlighted is the treatment by the whole team, without detailing in names, make you enjoy your weekend and this sport from the first to the last. Greetings and see you in another! (Original) Todo un placer viajar y en mi caso, cruzar media España para ir a este centro. La Costa Tropical tiene una variada fauna y Flora marina, por lo que vas a disfrutar del paraje. El centro es de diez, ya he realizado varios cursos y genial. La tabla de precios está marcada (al igual que en la web), por lo que si tienes algún problema como he podido ver en otros comentarios, quizás viene por tu desinformación ó confusión. Lo que sin duda hay que destacar es el trato por parte de todo el equipo, sin detallar en nombres, hacen que desde el primero al último disfrutes de tu fin de semana y de este deporte. Un saludo y ¡nos vemos en otra!

  • 2/5 juan carlos a. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I do not think I'll come back. I was with my 13 year old daughter doing a baptism with the intention of doing the course. I was in La Herradura for years and it is a lovely place. Normal prices: € 60 for baptism and € 53 for my immersion with the whole team. Instructor Sara, responsible for baptism, and the skipper of the ship, the best of the Club without a doubt. The first was the whole outing with 150% attention on my daughter, previously explaining the details of the adventure. And the second explained the immersion to everyone who went in the zodiac in an impeccable way (travel, depth, currents, binominos, security measures, life in the area, etc). A ten to both. Acceptable equipment and facilities. So far so good. The unpleasant part, the inattention of the employee who is at the counter. But not only with us as I could see later, but with other divers: no information when asked for details of the departure, schedules, accompaniment, etc; amazing ignorance of the current regulations regarding the hiring of my daughter's diving insurance, demanding with bad manners and ignorance her ID (with 13 years) when she previously said nothing that was necessary to do the dive. And I prefer not to go into more details ... Finally, another girl from the Center solved the issue with more will. A nonsense and a pity that they have such a person attending to the public. (Original) No creo que vuelva. Estuve con mi hija de 13 años haciendo un bautismo con la intención de que hiciera el curso. Estuve hace años en la Herradura y es un sitio encantador. Precios normales: 60 € el bautismo y 53 € mi inmersión con todo el equipo. La Instructora Sara, responsable del bautismo, y el patrón del barco, lo mejor del Club sin duda. La primera estuvo toda la salida con la atención al 150 % sobre mi hija explicándole previamente los detalles de la aventura. Y el segundo explicó la inmersión a todos los que íbamos en la zodiac de una manera impecable (recorrido, profundidad, corrientes, binominos, medidas de seguridad, vida en la zona, etc). Un diez a los dos. Los equipos y las instalaciones aceptables. Hasta ahí todo bien. La parte desagradable, la desatención del empleado que está en el mostrador. Pero no sólo con nosotros según pude comprobar luego, sino con otros buceadores: nula información cuando le preguntaban por detalles de la salida, horarios, acompañamiento, etc; desconocimiento asombroso de la normativa vigente respecto a la contratación del seguro de buceo de mi hija, exigiendo con malos modales e ignorancia su DNI (con 13 años) cuando previamente no dijo nada de que fuera necesario para hacer la inmersión. Y prefiero no entrar en más detalles… Finalmente solucionó el tema otra chica del Centro con más voluntad. Un despropósito y una pena que tengan a una persona así atendiendo al público.

    Four **** is a bit generous, but the "staff" is actually nice and friendly and the process (as far as I can judge yesterday as a spontaneous "walk-in" diver on the 4 p.m. exit) is well coordinated . €45 for a TG with a rented 12l bottle, jacket and machine is ok, plus the minibus transport to the Marina del Este marina and the (very short) dinghy trip. Some of the equipment is in very poor condition; on my CRESSI jacket, the waist belt Fastex buckle, which was also broken, was only held in place by four cable ties. 🤣 Well, not vital, but just meh! The dive site was... 🤔 let's say: suitable for PADI groups, nothing worth mentioning. But as I said at the beginning: Very nice crew and a quick look into the water of the Costa del Sol - ok! 😉

    Best experience ever! Everyone is really kind and professional - which made my open water course a delight!

    Terrible experience - the worse diving center I have ever been. We did a night dive and my torch stopped working within 10 minutes in the water. Of course, the staff didn't have an emergency torch so I spent an hour in the dark unable to see anything - worst dive ever. I told the boss that I was not happy and he replied with an "ok". He didn't offer another dive a bit cheaper next day or anything (that is very common). Also, the guide took the group from 20 meters deep to surface and to go back again deep without safety stop. Dangerous!! Got charged 50€ that felt like a scam. Stay away from this place.

    (Translated by Google) My partner and I went diving, he already knew diving but I had never done it although we both decided to do baptism. We loved the site but especially its professionals. The instructors who were with us, Rocio and Sara, were very attentive at all times and, in my case, the immersion was more complicated for me because I was very nervous. Sara was attentive at all times and helping me in everything, without any rush . This dive center and both instructors made our diving experience excellent. Thank you very much to the entire team. (Original) Fuimos a bucear mi pareja y yo, él ya sabía buceo pero yo nunca lo había hecho aunque decidimos hacer bautismo los dos. Nos encantó el sitio pero sobre todo sus profesionales. Las instructoras que estuvieron con nosotros, Rocio y Sara, fueron muy atentas en todo momento y, en mi caso, que me resultó mas complicado la inmersión por estar muy nerviosa Sara estuvo en todo momento atenta y ayudándome en todo, sin ningún tipo de prisa. Este centro de buceo y ambas instructoras hicieron que nuestra experiencia buceando fuera excelente. Muchísimas gracias a todo el equipo.

    What a great experience at Open Water Diving Center La Herradura. From big boss Boychi to all instructors and staff members, we haven't only obtained a kind of royal treatment here but the first steps into a new world to discover. Sara, Indio, Maxi, Irene, and many others are just a few short-listed candidates for the best instructor of the year award. You might get lucky and meet a real Pirate of the Mediterranean on board

    (Translated by Google) We did the diving baptism with them, without a doubt a unique spectacular experience. First they give some notions of safety, they give you material and you get on a boat that takes you to a spectacular enclave full of marine fauna and flora. Unfortunately, I got dizzy during transport, but thanks to the kindness of the monitor the experience was not completely unpleasant. I recommend that if you suffer from dizziness you take previous precautions (I did not do it), for the next I will take biodramina with caffeine to be able to enjoy 100%. Thank you for your kindness and for showing us what the sea houses. (Original) Hicimos el bautismo de buceo con ellos, sin duda una experiencia espectacular única. Primero dan unas nociones de seguridad, te dan material y subes a una embarcación que te lleva a un enclave espectacular lleno de fauna y flora marina. Por desgracia, me mareé durante el transporte, pero gracias a la amabilidad del monitor la experiencia no fue completamente desagradable. Recomiendo que si sufres de mareos tomes precauciones previas (yo no lo hice), para la próxima tomaré biodramina con cafeína para poder disfrutar al 100%. Gracias por vuestra amabilidad y por enseñarnos lo que alberga el mar.

    (Translated by Google) The equipment they have is good, the facilities because like almost everyone, the monitors are knowledgeable of the area and although they do not pay much attention to you, they are attentive to the less experienced. The captains of the boats very well. The only thing, which has happened to me other times in other sites, is that you cannot choose a dive site and they can also take you twice to the same site. Better to avoid the months of more trouble to have more personalized attention. (Original) El equipo que tienen es bueno, las instalaciones pues como casi todos, los monitores son conocedores de la zona y aunque no te hacen mucho caso seguro que están atentos a los menos experimentados. Los capitanes de los barcos muy bien. Lo único, que me ha pasado otras veces en otros sitios, es que no puedes elegir sitio de inmersión y además te pueden llevar dos veces al mismo sitio. Mejor evitar los meses de más jaleo para tener más atención personalizada.

    (Translated by Google) Fairly regular. Many people will be doing their August with national tourism ... But come on, for this activity it is necessary to convey seriousness and confidence, even if people with degrees come to you. They have not given any information, no breafing ... Neither where are we going, nor what temperature is it doing, nor what are we going to do ... All the answer has already been on the boat "but have asked". We saw other people on the ship wearing a dry suit and they were right, the water was 15 degrees ... Anyway, the instructor we went with, Iñaki, was nice, but the organization itself was quite disastrous. (Original) Bastante regular. Muchísima gente, estarán haciendo su agosto con el turismo nacional...Pero vamos, para esta actividad es necesario transmitir seriedad y confianza, aunque te venga gente con titulaciones. Ellos no han dado nada de información, ningún breafing... Ni donde vamos, ni que temperatura hace, ni que vamos a hacer...Toda la respuesta ha sido ya en el barco "pero haber preguntado". Veíamos a otra gente del barco ir con traje seco y tenían razón, agua estaba a 15 grados...En fin, el instructor con el que fuimos, Iñaki era majo, pero la organización en si era bastante desastrosa.

    (Translated by Google) The Open Water team at La Herradura is simply wonderful. The instructors (we were with Jose and Sara), with all their patience and professionalism, taught us step by step to enjoy an impressive experience during the PADI Open Water course. They were several days with a comfortable climate, trustworthy and a lot of fun. They taught us the importance of caring for nature and, of course, together with other people on the team, the best way to observe, discover and value the seabed. Thank you very much again (even if it took a long time to review). You guys are great and we'll see you as soon as we can! (Original) El equipo de Open Water en La Herradura es sencillamente maravilloso. Los instructores (estuvimos con Jose y Sara), con toda su paciencia y profesionalidad, nos enseñaron paso a paso a disfrutar de una experiencia impresionante durante el curso PADI Open Water. Fueron varios días con un clima cómodo, de confianza y muy divertido. Nos enseñaron la importancia de cuidar la naturaleza y, por supuesto junto a otras personas del equipo, la mejor forma de observar, descubrir y valorar el fondo marino. Muchísimas gracias de nuevo (aunque haya tardado en la reseña). Sois geniales y nos veremos tan pronto como podamos !

    (Translated by Google) Great experience. My partner and I did the baptism. Between the immersion area is beautiful, crystal clear waters full of life, and the treatment and atmosphere of the staff is great, we had a great time. Special mention to the "teachers" Sara and Celia for their patience, professionalism and good vibes. ("You just worry about breathing, the rest we do") 100% recommended. (Original) Gran experiencia.

    (Translated by Google) THANKS TO OPEN WATER THE HORSESHOE I HAVE DISCOVERED ONE OF MY PASSIONS! For me, it was very important that my first diving experience was positive, since due to prejudices associated with diving and previous somewhat controversial experiences, I had developed a lot of uncertainty and fear with the subject of diving. Despite all this, and as a result of the enslavement of recommendations from close friends who had tried at the center, I decided to join. From the beginning, the treatment of each of the staff members was exceptional. It is appreciated, without a doubt, that the good atmosphere that exists between workers is transmitted to the client until that good feeling ends up being part of your own experience. Overall, it was a Zen experience. At all times there was a climate of tranquility that prevailed until the beginning of the boat trip, where this sensation was joined by the magnificent well-being of enjoying a scenic paradise like La Herradura. Already ready to enter the water, my nervousness began and I remembered my fears. It was then that I began to breathe with the diving equipment and the feeling was unmatched. Every nook and cranny under the blue was worth immortalizing in my mind. Thanks for the experience! I will not hesitate to return to do the course! (Original) ¡GRACIAS A OPEN WATER LA HERRADURA HE DESCUBIERTO UNA DE MIS PASIONES! Para mi, era muy importante que mi primera experiencia buceando fuese positiva, ya que por prejuicios asociados al buceo y experiencias anteriores un poco controvertidas, habia desarrollado bastante incertidumbre y temor con el tema del buceo. Pese a todo ello y fruto del avasallamiento de recomendaciones de amig@s cercanos que habían probado en el centro, decidí unirme. Desde el principio, el trato de cada uno de los integrantes del staff fue excepcional. Se aprecia, sin lugar a dudas, que el buen clima que hay entre trabajadores se transmite al cliente hasta que ese buen feeling termina formando parte de tu propia experiencia. A nivel general, se trató de una experiencia zen. En todo momento hubo un clima de tranquilidad que imperó hasta el comienzo del trayecto en barco, donde a esta sensación se unió el magnífico bienestar de disfrutar de un paraíso paisajístico como el de La Herradura. Ya prestos a entrar en el agua, comenzó mi nerviosismo y rememoré mis miedos. Fue entonces cuando comencé a respirar con el equipo de buceo y la sensación fue inigualable. Cada recoveco bajo el azul era digno de inmortalizar en mi mente. ¡Gracias por la experiencia! ¡No dudaré en volver para hacer el curso!

    (Translated by Google) We had two dives booked and because my partner had headaches after the 1st dive we decided not to do the second dive. SURPRISE !!!!, when in the dive center we are going to pay, the person in charge tells us that he has to charge us for the 2nd dive because he puts it on a poster. Nobody on the boat tells us that if we have booked 2 dives and we have not done them, they will charge us. The person in charge at no time asks the reason for not carrying out the second one, let's say if you are dying it does not matter, you pay. In the end he charges us € 29 per head for the ship site. I respect his company policy, but the only thing he has achieved is that we will NEVER return, and that our press on social networks and specialized magazines is NOT favorable. (Original) Teníamos reservadas dos inmersiones y debido a q mi pareja tenía dolores de cabeza después de la 1. Inmersión decidimos no hacer la Segunda. SORPRESA!!!!, cuando en el centro de buceo vamos a pagar nos dice el responsable q nos tiene q cobrar la 2.inmersion porque lo pone en un cartel. Nadie en el barco nos avisa q si hemos reservado 2 inmersiones y no las hemos hecho nos la van a cobrar. El responsable en ningún momento pregunta el motivo de no realizar la segunda, vamos q si t estás muriendo le da igual, la pagas. Al final nos cobra 29€ por cabeza por el sitio del barco. Respeto su política de empresa, pero lo único q ha conseguido es q no volvamos JAMÁS, y q nuestra prensa en redes sociales y revistas especializadas NO sea favorable.

    (Translated by Google) The best place to learn and enjoy diving. Great professionals !!! I took the Open Water with the instructor Rux: she is very disciplined and structured in her explanations, and she transmits a lot of security and tranquility, which is very important especially when diving for the first time. In my case I have some problems with my spine, but thanks to the fact that both she and the rest of the team at the center are very attentive to helping you at all times, both outside and in the water, this has not been a problem. And best of all, they are super friendly and will help you with anything you need with a smile on their face! There is a very good atmosphere, totally recommended. We will repeat without a doubt! The dive center is in an excellent location, it is large and the diving equipment is of good quality and very well maintained. They have very controlled immersion areas, the state of the sea and in the water they are always very aware of your safety and that everything is controlled. (Original) El mejor sitio donde aprender y disfrutar del buceo. Grandes profesionales!!! Me saqué el Open Water con la instructora Rux: es muy disciplinada y estructurada en sus explicaciones, y transmite mucha seguridad y tranquilidad, lo que es muy importante especialmente a la hora de meterse a bucear por primera vez. En mi caso tengo algunos problemas en la columna, pero gracias a que tanto ella como el resto del equipo del centro están muy pendientes de ayudarte en todo momento, tanto fuera como dentro del agua, esto no ha supuesto ningún problema. Y lo mejor de todo, es que son super amables y te ayudarán con cualquier cosa que necesites con una sonrisa en la cara! Se respira muy buen ambiente, totalmente recomendable. Nosotros repetiremos sin duda! El centro de buceo tiene una ubicación excelente, es grande y los equipos de buceo son de buena calidad y están muy bien mantenidos. Tienen muy controladas las zonas de inmersión, el estado del mar y dentro del agua siempre están muy pendientes de tu seguridad y que este todo controlado.

    (Translated by Google) INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. I give it 5 very deserved stars, organization, security, attention to people, price and above all the enjoyment of a spectacular dive in Spain, starting with booking it from Madrid, which will immediately resolve you to the accommodation, continuing with how they care when you arrive in the morning. to see what you do to help you, punctuality and how quickly you are in the water (I have not seen it in any school in Spain and I have dived in quite a few) is a 10 in organization. Perfect material washing and drying area, all adapted to the new situation of the covid-19 and being able to leave your own material without any worry. I did three dives in one weekend and was amazed with the life and color that I found in the seabed of this area, nudibranchs, sponges, octopuses, cuttlefish, the great variety of all kinds of fish and the great luck of being able to see the sunfish The group I went to from Madrid, some of whom were open and others were already divers, fully agree with me. Quality price for everything that involves logistics and rental in case of not having equipment is incredibly adequate, they do not happen like in other places that just by taking you out on a boat are already gouging out your eyes. We will repeat again as soon as we can, thanks to all the Open Water team for the horseshoe and my most sincere congratulations. (Original) INCREÍBLE EXPERIENCIA. Le doy 5 estrellas merecidísimas,organización,seguridad,atención a la gente,precio y sobretodo el difrutar de un buceo espectacular en España,empezando por reservarlo desde Madrid que enseguida te resuelven hasta el alojamiento,continuando por como por la mañana al llegar se preocupan de ver lo que haces para ayudarte,de la puntualidad y de como rápidamente estás en el agua(no lo he visto en ninguna escuela de España y he buceado en bastantes)es un 10 en organización. Zona de lavado y secado de material perfecta,todo adaptado a la nueva situación del covid-19 y el poder dejar tu propio material sin ninguna preocupación. Hice tres buceos en un fin de semana y quede maravillado con la vida y color que encontré en los fondos marinos de esta zona,nudibranquios,esponjas,pulpos,sepias,la gran variedad de todo tipo de peces y la gran suerte de poder ver el pez luna. El grupo con el que fui desde Madrid,que algunos hacían el open y otros eran ya buzos,coinciden plenamente conmigo. Calidad precio para todo lo que implica la logísica y alquiler en caso de no tener equipo es increíblemente adecuado,no se pasan como en otros sitios que solo por sacarte en barco ya te están sacando los ojos. Repetiremos otra vez en cuanto podamos,gracias a todo el equipo de Open Water la herradura y mis mas sinceras felicitaciones.

We have seen an infinity of underwater fauna (a good focus is recommended) During the boat trip, which was very short, we have sighted dolphins and a sunfish. Highly recommended. We will certainly repeat. (Original) Estupendo centro de buceo. Instructores y resto de personal súper amables y preocupados para que disfrutes al máximo de las inmersiones.
