Year-round · 14 → 26 °C

A technical-only dive operation on Spain's Costa Cálida. TDI & PSAI training from Intro to Tech through Full Cave and Trimix — and guided expeditions on the wrecks of Cabo de Palos and the only warm-water cenote in Europe.

02 / The Doctrine

One instructor.
Two divers.
No theatre.

Scuba Murcia Tech runs as a single-instructor operation. One team in the water at a time. Briefings that take as long as they need. Debriefs that don't get skipped.

Programmes are TDI and PSAI — the floor. What you leave with is cleaner hands, conservative gas, and dives that look like the briefing. We do not teach recreational. We do not teach try-dives. The cohort is people who want to go deeper, longer, and into the overhead.

Cueva
del Agua.

A freshwater–saltwater halocline cave in the Sierra de Almagrera, twenty minutes from the marina. Clear. Geological. The only warm-water cenote in Europe — cavern tours for open-water divers, full penetration for cave-trained teams.

November 2023. A penetration of 850 metres into Cueva del Agua — 30 °C past 12 metres, fresh above the saltwater. Shot by the team, not borrowed from stock.

The clearest, calmest tech instruction I've had in twenty years of diving.
