Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an amazing time with Tom, Patricia & Cristina. Our dives were lead by Tom & Patricia and both of them were very patient specially during the first dives when people were a little scared. Tom specially calmed everyone down during the first dive which exponentially improved the overall experience.
The team is very professional and fun at the same time with very well-maintained equipment and clear briefing sessions.

I booked a refresher course and a subsequent dive with Scuba Mallorca. The refresher course first had to be cancelled because of high waves. I thought it was really thoughtful and professional conduct by the team not to try to push for the dive and take risks.
For the second time all worked out well, we had a very nice shallow dive and my rusty skills were professionally refreshed.
Two days later we went for a boat dive. Alone the boat trip was fantastic, one gets an unbelievable view of the cliffs of the Northern Mallorquin coast. The two dives were fantastic, I really loved the experience.
The best experience however is that with the team. Patricia proved to be an excellent instructor in the refreshing course and such a kind personality ; Christina and Tom were super helpful and understanding throughout the whole process. Tom was our dive master; he is clearly a very experienced and knowledgeable instructor.
In general, what most impressed me was the kindness and helpfulness of this team.
Thank you so much Christina, Patricia, Marco and Tom for the fantastic experience!! I am certainly coming back!

We dive maybe once a year. This team was excellent at helping assist and really being a guide to ensure you see the very best of Mallorca. If you’re going to dive in Mallorca I highly recommend this group of very personable professionals! We would love to go again!

Tom and his team were great! Simple to book using whatsapp, on the day, it all went really smoothly and my 10 year old who was nervous about his first dive was quickly put at ease by Tom.
We drove to a near by beach which was stunning and the water clear and full a fish. We only did the ' Try Dive' as it was my son's first time however even I an experienced diver enjoyed the day.
Definitely recommend going with Tom and his team. The equipment was good and overall just enjoyed the 2hrs we were there. Super nice touch was that Tom took photos for you and gives them at the end of the session at no extra fee which I was rather impressed with as no one wants to get stitched with paying more at the end of the experience.
They were also 10euros cheaper than other companies in the area.

We are relatively new to open water diving but Scuba Mallorca made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. They responded quickly to our queries prior to booking and on the day we were met with similarly great service from all of the Scuba Mallorca team. Our divemaster for the day was Cristina, she was ever professional and attentive as she led us on two dives; both of which were enjoyable and notably dissimilar to one another. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scuba Mallorca.

On the plus side : communication is good, the club is serious, everybody is extremely nice.
On the (slightly) minus side : dives are a bit short. It's often the case when you have two dives on the same afternoon though. I tend to think it's better (and cheaper) to do one 1 hour dive than two 40 mn ones.
Anyway, I must admit here that the divemasters had to struggle with a family of extremely bad divers, which had to go back to the surface with one of the divemaster after around 20/25 mn, which was tricky.
Fauna and flora is OK, but I've seen better places in the mediterranean.
To sum it up, a good and nice club for a few dives if you're around.

My brother and I been to Mallorca the second half of October 2019 and spent such a lovely time with Scuba Mallorca. All guys in the center were amazing, extremely helpful, professional and friendly. Always ready to help with filling our cylinders and their recommendations about best diving sites. Also took a few dives with them and cannot recommend enough.... Definitely come back and can recommend this dive centre for 100%.
Thank u very much for lovely time in Mallorca.

Tom and Christina were fantastic throughout a 2 year period of booking due to covid. Illness meant we had to change the first day on arrival in Mallorca and they changed the dive plan without hesitation.
The training was clear and supportive and Tom kept us safe with clear instructions both on the water and below the surface
A great experience and would strongly recommend Scuba Mallorca for those looking to complete the open water course
Thanks Tom and Christina

In preparation, they were incredibly responsive and helpful on emails even ensuring I was able to get to and from my accommodation locally.
On the diving days themselves, the team (Juan, Pedro, Cristina & another person who's name has escaped me) were incredibly professional, and helped us to rapidly kit up. One of the best dive shops I have been with, put others tremendously at ease and tempered the dives to the abilities/ conditions. We saw barracuda, octopus, nudibranchs, groupers, peacock wrasse, and moray eels. An additional treat was that they washed most of the kit at the end! The diving and kit rental was very reasonably priced.
Only two very small comments would be that it would be great to see more pictures of the dive sites on the website so we can be excited! As well as perhaps more clearer pricing information on the website. The diving was a great deal- but advertising this would perhaps get more people interested! Additionally, I had to mention to my buddies on both days to remind them to go through buddy checks, perhaps it is a difference in club diving vs. dive trips, but perhaps designating 5 minutes might mean everyone has the time/ reminder to do their buddy checks.
Overall, 10/10 experience. If I return to mallorca, I will undoubtedly return to scuba mallorca

We were seven divers and (4) just completed their PADI open water. Chris was our dive master, Thomas ran the shop. Everything was perfect. Chris took care of everything. She was patient in the water with each of the new divers.
Under the water, Chris was an expert dive master, taking care of each and every person to make sure they were safe.
At the shop, Thomas made sure that we had all the things we needed. The rentals were great. It included everything we needed, even a dive computer.
Pedro was the captain of the boat. He was kind and he helped get everyone settled both on the boat and in the water.
I highly recommend this wonderful Dive location for all of your diving needs.

Hi
I don't know how to swim, can I still have a scuba diving experience for amateurs? :)
Thanks!
Written 15 September 2019
Hello
We recommend having some basic swimming ability or knowledge before hand so that you are comfortable and familiar with been In the water. This will allow you to be more comfortable when it comes to the experience of breathing under water.
Do give us a call or email to the booking team to discuss in more detail.
Kind regards

How much is a trip... Trying to plan for our holiday next week and need idea on prices... None on website x
Written 2 October 2018
From memory it's circa €40/€45 per dive (not sure if you have your own equipment?) BUT as with every dive centre the prices are discounted the more dives you do.
Great set up though and they collect you from your accommodation in the mornings free of charge!

Hi Guiseppe!
Sorry for the delay, but I've been away on a long holiday.
Contact owner Tom or any of the Staff through the website. They definitely do Try-Dives, but I'm not sure of the cost.
Hope this helps

do they do snorkelling, or just SCUBA please?
Written 29 May 2017
Hello Ke11y2013,
Thank you for your question. We do have snorkelling trips available however, these trips have limited availability and we strongly recommend advanced bookings.
If you fancy a Try Scuba dive then let us know, we are sure you will not be disappointed !!
