- About Us -

Our diving center is located at Cape Pinar in between the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença. Just one hundred meters away of the Marina de Bonaire (Puerto Cocodrilo) and with direct access to the bay of Pollença it is in the perfect place between Cape Formentor and Cape Pinar next to one of the most stunning bays of Mallorca.
Outside we have a big wet-zone with showers and a chill area to relax. Inside on two levels you find our reception, rental equipment storage, filling station with a BAUER compressor, changing rooms, toilets, classroom, and shop.

Boat dives are carried out in the surroundings of the two Capes Pinar and Formentor with more than 25 dive sitesThese include small untoched coves far from mass tourism, subtropical reefs, impressive steep walls, and mallorcas specialty "caverns and caves". Leaving the Marina of Bonaire (Alcudia) the way to the dive sites is already a spectacle, passing the cliffs, virgin coves and the silhouette of the Tramuntana mountain range that ends with Cape Formentor.

History

For more than 30 years exists this prestigious diving center, that in the early 2000s became part of the SKUALOfamily, expanded and diversified its range of products to the entire aquatic sector. This is how it operated for many years in the two locations Alcudia and Can Picafort offering aquatic activities such as Kayakand Stand Up Paddle tours, coasteering and sea cave excursions in combination with traditional diving activities such as diving trips, courses, entry-level programs and snorkel excursion.

In 2015 Felix A. Spiess arrived, who was previously part of the SKUALO Porto Cristo team. With the vision of a diving center offering a wide range of diving and/or diving-related products, a change was initiated to put the focus back on diving.

One of those changes was the becoming parto of SCUBA SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL (SSI) in the same year. Shortly after that, in 2017 and in the following 3 years the range of products outside the diving sector was reduced and a complete renewal of the equipment was carried out in order to be able to serve not only the best equipment provided by MARES, but also the most modern. Since then maintaining a constant rythm of renewal guarantees that we continue with modern and high-quality products. In 2019 the center became an SSI Instructor Training Center. Shortly after the pandemic, we changed our boat to improve comfort for our the divers on board. The new vessel thus offers a shaded rest area, an area for gearing up and a diving ladder. All together enhances significantly the experiences of all our divers. Most recently in 2023 the diving centre was converted into a SSI XR center offering technical diving courses and especially cave diving.

The difference in the range of products, the abstinence from water activities outside of diving, among other reasons, led to the separation of the group of watersports centers "SKUALO". As a consequence in 2024 the diving center «SCUBANEO»was born, maintaining the same line of work and values of recent years under the leadership of Felix.
