Double Dive
Our double dive consists of two guided boat dives in Pollença Bay and usually lasts half a day. We start in the morning at 09:00. The dives are planned in small groups of usually 4/5 divers per guide (or instructor) with an appropriate depth limit according to their experience and qualifications.
These dives are usually at our dive sites inside the Bay of Pollença on the side of Cape Formentor, and around the Cape Pinar, hosting a variety of beautiful dives including subtropical reefs, rock formations, caverns, tunnels and, of course, the typical diverse fauna of the Mediterranean.
Before arriving at the diving center we check the documentation of all participants, so that when you arrive at the diving center, you only need to set up your equipment and enjoy the most beautiful dive sites that the north of Mallorca has to offer. For those who do not have their own equipment, we have modern, high-quality rental equipment manufactured by our official partner MARES.
Just a few minutes from the diving center in the Bonaire Marina (Puerto Cocodrilo) is our dive boat. The fast boat has 225hp and lets us fly over the water towards our dive sites.
After the first dive, we take a break on the surface during which the onboard staff offers water and cookies to recharge our batteries before the second dive. This dive is carried out in a different dive site than the first one, after sailing to it and changing tanks. After the dive, around midday we arrive back at our home port.
At the diving center we have a wet zone and showers where you can wash your own or rented equipment and rinse with fresh water. Finally, you can sit in our relaxation area and log your dives.

In the afternoons at 14:30 and/or 16:15 we meet to go out for a guided boat dive. Occasionally it is possible to do two boat dive in the afternoon as well. In total it usually lasts between two and three hours depending on the dive site chosen. Those are mainly found on the inside of Cape Formentor and around the Cape Pinar. We usually dive in small groups of 4/5 divers per guide or instructor, reaching maximum depths according to qualifications and experience.

«Refresher» Pack

- Have not been diving for a year or more, having less than 20 dives in total.
- Have not dived for two years or more, having less than 100 dives in total.
