Barcelona Diving: Buying The Essentials And Learning How To Dive

Written by Brian S

The Costa Brava – literally “rough coast” in Spanish – is one of the best diving destinations in Spain and the whole of Europe. Stretching from the small Catalan town of Blanes to the French border, this is an area not to miss when looking at beaches and for those interested in diving. When Spain opened up their markets for tourism in the 1950s, they recognized Costa Brava as a top holiday destination for their beaches, climate, and comfort away from the bustling cities. Today, many tourism companies and diving businesses from Barcelona offer these on-the-ocean getaways, where tourists can swim and explore under the sea. Here are a few stores and companies that sell diving gear, as well as give tours and classes on how to scuba dive appropriately along Spain’s beautiful coast.
