Padi, Learn to dive in Mazarron and Murcia

How often have you been beside someone who dries their regulator dust cap by blasting it with air from the cylinder?, maybe you do it yourself, personally i find it a terrible habit to be avoided and more so now after doing some research. Air released from a cylinder can be as high as 130 decibels in sound (decibel is a measurement of sound) 2 minutes exposure to 130db of sound begins to cause damage to the ear, imagine 30 divers doing it one after the other which is often the case on liveaboards or in other high density areas of divers, for only 10 seconds per diver this equates to 5 minutes more than double the time from the beginning... read more >>

Just a quick heads up to you all out there, How many of you in Murcia have swimming pools that need a few tiles replacing etc. Well The Scuba Man Pool tile replacement in Mazarron is now in Mazarron, The Scuba Man can replace tiles in your pool without you having to drain out the water, saving you on pool close downs and emptying the pool for work to be carried out.

The minimum legal age for Scuba diving in Murcia, Spain is 16 years of age. We at Subaquamundo are based in Puerto De Mazarron in Murcia and wish to make it clear that the legal minimum age for Scuba diving in Murcia is 16. It is not possible to certify ENTRY LEVEL Scuba divers under the age of 16 anywhere in Murcia. If your child has been (or is to be) taught to dive in Murcia under the age of 16 then the Scuba Instructor has broken the national law of Spain law and violated PADI standards which would inturn negate any insurance claims should they ever be required. This also applies to confined water sessions that involve PADI programmes such... read more >>

scuba diving holidays Well everone needs a holiday now and then, so here at subaquamundo we decided to take ourselves off to Egypt to get some diving done before the diving in Mazarron takes off for the summer. The weather was great, the water was warm and clear blue and there were lots of fish of every colour under the rainbow and more, even the dolphins joined in. We get Dolphins in Mazarron but its almost unheard of for them to come and actually seek you out while your diving, normally we just see them from the boat surface. Egypt was a little different as you can see from the pics. Diving with dolphins Bannerfish Diving with Dolphins again Lionfish... read more >>

Some of you may or may not know that PADI have restructured the pre-requisites for the PADI Rescue Diver Course. Before the 2009 update it was only possible to become a Rescue Diver by firstly completing the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. This is now no longer the case as of the 2009 update you can take the Rescue Diver Certification by completing the PADI Adventure Diver course. This means that you can become eligible for the Rescue Diver cert by completing only 3 dives of the Adventure Diver course instead of having to take the 5 dives involved in the Advanced Open Water Diver course. The only criteria to follow is that 1 of the dives... read more >>

PADI courses in Mazarron SWIFTLY FOLLOWING JUAN CARLOS down through the water, I decided to pull on the hood of my 5mm suit. At about 30m, it was getting chilly. The tranquil wreck lay beneath us. Great glitterings of bream hovered around the superstructure and pairs of moray eels peered out of portholes. The old steel hull was covered in colourful sponges, and massed anthia-like fish filled every cavity. The occasional amberjack made passes in futile attempts to pick off stragglers. There was no current. We swam around the holds and through the... read more >>
