The Spanish Law about recreational diving is clear; it is compulsory a medical certificated signed by a hyperbaric doctor which expires after two years. Another story is if the diving centers really ask for them before diving (extremely rare) I copy an extract from the law (BOE.es - Documento...

As Paddydiver said, don´t have any doubt about diving at Cabo Palos. It´s just 16 km from el Algar. Fantastic dives both tech or rec. All the Diving Centres located at Cabo Palos harbour. I mention few of them, Balkysub, Islas Hormigas, Mangamar, Naranjito, Rivemar...all are very reliable. Ask...

I´m not from the Canaries but I´m been quite often there for holidays. Fortunatelly never have to visit a hospital or Health Center. I consider Spanish National Health Service quite reliable and the Canaries are fully part of it. Your friend should not have any problem if medical assistance or...

Hi Sbiriguda, On this web there is pretty much info both about diving or whales watching on the Canaries. Good luck! Diving sites Would you like to see the whales?

There are more interesting places for diving on this area if you drive at least one hour east (Granada Coast, Almeria Coast) or another hour to the west (Tarifa). This last spot is great, but be aware of the strong currents on the Strait of Gibraltar.

Hi, I never dived in that area, but it seems not to be the greatest for diving in south Spain. May you try to contact these people. They offer dives all year round in the Marbella/Estepona area. Natura Dive Málaga – Escuela de buceo -Málaga Good luck!

No. Just switch it on my house corridor for few seconds. I will try to submerge it to see if it stays on high, but I doubt about that. Thanks.

Tested really for seconds...No way to be overheated. I´m sure it is bad unit. Thanks for your comments anyway. Let´s see if I get a new one in good working conditions.

After reading all your posts I decided to take the risk. I have received the order today, 15 days after my purchase. Quite happy proceed to test it at home, massive amount of light from the tourch...but after 8 seconds my happiness disappeared as it turns into low mode on its own. Strobe seems...

Theorically a medical certificate is compulsory for diving in Spain. This does not depend on your age (you need it been 18 or 95 years old) and it has to be renovated every two years . Once said this, I do not remember last time a Diving Center ask me to show mine.

Sorry for your bad experience. I dove in the rias and it wasn´t so bad. Quite different if used to dive in the Meditarrenaen as I usually do.

Hi, I´m not from Galicia but I´m been diving around that area a couple of times, always with local Clubs or Diving Centers. Islas Cies is a National Park, so I´m not sure if it is neccesary to require an authorization for diving. Find below some local companies offering diving in Cies and also...

Table is in Spanish, from January (enero) to Dicember. These are the average water temperature in Medas.

Hi, Best diving is Medas for sure. There are many diving centres in L´Estartit offering quite similar services, but let me mention just few of them: Ocensub (Oceansub : : : Home) Unisub (Diving center and dives at Estartit , Medes Islands home , diving center, unisub dive resort, l’estartit +...

Hi again, It is a sort of "National Park" including several reefs around 0,5 miles away from the coast line. It´s a protected area where just few local fishermen from the village with an special licence are allowed to fish only using traditional methods. It was declared in 2015 best diving place...

Hi, The island of Tabarca is a marine reserve. You can dive there with Centro de Buceo Elx (Inicio) or Anthias (Anthias - Anthias) both located in Santa Pola. Benidorm is also a good spot to dive the Benidorm Island or another place called "La Llosa". There are some diving centres there but I...

Hi, I use to dive in Cabo Palos quite often. I will try to help you but I am not very sure about their names in English. The fish on the first photo is locally called (in Spanish) "Abadejo" (Mycteroperca rubra). I think to be "Mottled Grouper in English. The second one is called "cabrilla" or...
