Scuba Tropical is an established dive center in La Herradura, operating for over two decades in one of the most privileged locations on Granada's Costa Tropical. Its strategic location allows year-round diving, taking advantage of the area's favorable climate where temperatures hover around 17 degrees even in winter.
The center specializes in PADI training, offering a comprehensive range from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster, including Open Water, Advanced, Rescue and various specialties. Their lead instructor, Ángel, has extensive experience and reviews from former students highlight the personalized and friendly approach that characterizes this family-run center.
Dives are primarily shore-based, with full equipment included. The La Herradura area offers interesting dive sites such as La Calita at Punta de la Mona, with depths from 6 to 36 meters and a wide variety of Mediterranean marine life: octopuses, moray eels, conger eels, nudibranchs and candlestick corals. The marine microfauna biodiversity in this area is among the richest in Europe.
While facilities are functional and service professional, the center maintains a traditional, family-oriented approach that may lack some extras offered by larger operations. Prices are competitive (€35 per dive with equipment) and they offer packages for frequent divers.
