Scuba Diving in Spain
by Prabhat Singh
(Brussels, Belgium)
We would like to go scuba diving on the Costa Brava in November 2013.
What are the charges for different kinds of dives per person?
1. Deep sea diving?
2. Scuba diving?
3. Snorkelling?
Also, does the above mentioned require any special experience in the field? Since we are beginners I would like to know whether we can go for deep sea diving or not?
Thank you
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat
You do not need any qualifications or experience to go snorkelling. A snorkel trip on the Costa Brava will cost around €30 for a couple of hours.
If you have not scuba dived before, you can do a try dive (shallow dive of 7 -10 metres) or take the open water course (this will only allow you to dive to 12-18 metres).
If you would like to go deep diving (30 metres or more is considered “deep” in scuba diving) you will have to take the advanced open water course.
An open water course on the Costa Brava can be done in 3-5 days (you can do the theory online before you come) and costs around €400.
An advanced open water course on the Costa Brava can be done in 2 days and costs around €300.
Best wishes
