Club de Buceo Cristalsub Madrid

They hold licences with PADI, SSI, and FEDAS-CMAS, so you can certify through whichever agency you prefer. Instructors across the team hold qualifications from multiple organisations, which gives you flexibility if you want to cross-train or pick up specialties in a different system.

Yes. Since May 2022 they've offered the FEDAS Buceador Infantil programme — Bronce, Plata and Oro levels — starting from age 8. They also run Instructor de Buceador Infantil courses, so the team is specifically trained to work with young divers.

Adapted diving (buceo adaptado) is explicitly listed among their qualified services. Contact them directly at [email protected] or by phone to discuss your specific needs.

They're consistent about keeping ratios high — meaning fewer students per instructor. It's something they mention repeatedly as a deliberate policy, not a variable that changes depending on how many people sign up.

Pool sessions are held in the Hortaleza, Barajas, and Fuencarral areas of Madrid. Open water certification dives are done at sea. The number of pool hours isn't capped — they continue until the instructor is satisfied with your progress.

Yes. They offer DAN Europe policies and Scuba Medic coverage, which includes 24-hour emergency assistance, international accident coverage, repatriation, and emergency transport. They can also manage your FEDAS federative licence. Contact them for current rates.

International trips have included Indonesia, Maldives, Red Sea, Philippines, Riviera Maya, Florida, and Azores. Destinations are discussed at Thursday meetups in Madrid — open to anyone interested. Spots are allocated in order of registration and are limited, so early contact helps.

They can mentor Técnico Deportivo level I and II candidates (FEDAS) and take divers through to Divemaster and Group Guide level across PADI and FEDAS. They also run Instructor de Buceador Infantil courses for those wanting to teach junior divers professionally.
