Palamós
The fishing town of Palamós, famous for its beaches, the fishing port and its hugely varied gastronomy, is also an ideal destination to enjoy some diving. Its strategic location right in the heart of the Costa Brava allows us to experience such well-known and unmissable dives as Boreas, one of the most-visited shipwrecks along the Catalan coast, Llosa and the Formigues Islands. Here you can do all types of scuba diving activities at the 3 diving centres Dive Center Palamós, H20 and GiDive, all strategically placed in the sporting port of Palamós.
For the beginner
Nothing beats a first experience in the world of diving with a “sea baptism” from one of Palamós’ coves or from a boat in the company of our instructors. Truly the best way to experience something new in a safe, fun environment. You can also do a beginner’s course and guided snorkelling routes accompanied by our expert professionals.
For the scuba diver
Come and dive in one of the most sought-after spots on the Costa Brava. You can do diving, freediving, technical diving and the classic dive for all scuba divers, Boreas, the World War Two ship that sank in the waters of Palamós in 1989. You can dive down to between 18 and 32 metres to discover places full of life, including the amazing populations of conger eels, sea bream and sea bass.
And after your dive
Enjoy the tourism potential of Palamós to the full. Discover its tradition tied to the sea by visiting the fishing port and the Fishing Museum, or by taking part in one of the activities on board the working fishing boats. And don’t miss out on a tour around the taverns for a night of brochettes, known locally as pinxos, and a walk around Calonge Bay to Torre Valentina, or the other thousand and one activities that this accessible town with all types of services offers.
