Diving Center Fornells
Discover Menorca's vibrant marine life on an eco-friendly snorkeling tour that combines stunning scenery with conservation education. Dive into this unique underwater adventure and connect with nature like never before.
Diving Center Fornells is a dive operator based in Fornells, Illes Balears, offering guided dives, freediving courses and snorkeling tours in Menorca’s marine reserve. The center runs a mix of certification courses (including PADI Advanced Open Water and PADI Rescue Diver), introductory experiences such as Discover Scuba Diving and Baptizo de Buceo, and specialized apnea/freedive training for beginners and youth.
Operations focus on the protected northern Marine Reserve of Menorca, with both boat and shore departures described in activity briefings. Instruction includes practical in-water sessions — for example, Rescue Diver training that combines online theory with hands-on exercises from a boat — and short, supervised snorkeling excursions led by marine ecology-aware guides. Several dive and snorkel products emphasize local marine life, with guided encounters that highlight octopuses, groupers and colorful reef fish.
Diving Center Fornells works with certified instructors and runs multi-dive packages for certified divers as well as short discovery programs for first-time participants. Courses range from 2.5-hour introductory apnea sessions to multi-day PADI programs and double dives in protected sites. The business lists both shore-access explorations and boat-start baptisms among its offerings. Information presented about trips and training is factual and drawn from published course summaries and reserve-based itineraries.
