BALKYSUB PHILOSOPHY
Fun and safety in diving
Balkysub Diving Operation is a PADI 5Star CDC School and Dive Center with bases in Cabo de Palos and Madrid.
Balkysub is Sustainable Diving. Enjoy your free time in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We will not demand perfection in diving techniques, our priorities are respect for marine life, for your fellow divers and the practice of responsible and safe diving.
From the management to the team of professionals, we are very aware and take care of safety measures to the maximum. During 13 years and after more than 120,000 diving operations we have NEVER had any incident or accident.

Balkysub's soul
“There are men who dive into the oceans to discover, to understand and be part of universes of weightlessness, scenarios of the most beautiful plays.”
Only those of us who understand such beautiful ecosystems respect and protect them.
Come and meet the Balkysub family, united by the same philosophy of life and understanding of things, a big family formed by the Balkysub team and all of you, divers, who feel Balkysub as a part of our life.
Besides having fun you will participate in the conservation and protection of the oceans through our Green Diving project.
Safety in diving is my main objective, above the economic interests of the company.
I do not understand life without a smile and without having fun, besides my passion for diving made Balkysub a germ that today, THANKS TO THE TEAM OF THE LAST 13 YEARS, is already a reality that continues to grow, but in width not in height.
Diving is a privilege reserved for the lucky ones and if you do it with your family it becomes the best experience of my life.
TRAINING AND DIVING
We accompany you to discover the submerged universe of our planet.
From your first contact with diving with your PADI instructor you will enjoy training, attention, safety and the most important thing… FUN!
Now you are ready to start the different courses proposed by our PADI educational system to dive independently in any corner of the blue planet.
“In Balkysub (PADI CDC Career Development Center 5 Star) you can train up to professional levels and make your hobby a lifestyle. Balkysub is one of the two schools in Spain with the highest PADI category.”
