Decided to complete my AOWD qualification and chose Sea Horse Scuba because it was next to our hotel and the reviews were really positive. Jeff and Natalie did not disappoint and were a joy to dive with, and we saw some great sea life during the five dives
Jeff knew the whole area like the back of his hand, and all the best places to dive for different demands and weather requirements. He was so knowledgeable and made me feel at complete ease on my first three adventure dives (which included Deep Dive).
Natalie led me on my Peak Buoyancy and Fish Identification dives and was so bubbly, and positive, it made the dives awesome.
The whole set up was very professional but also very relaxed and fun, which is exactly what you want. Equipment was good and having direct access to their own boat was an added bonus.
Overall experience was superb, probably the best dive shop I've used to date, and would recommend them without hesitation.
Thanks guys, and keep doing it like you do :-)

Having made enquiries to see what age appropriate experiences would suit my 9 and 12 year old, Jeff was super helpful and very honest over what we could do. Booked snorkeling for the three of us and had a fab day out. Jeff and his crew were entertaining, knowledgeable and safety conscious in equal measure, really felt looked after and would totally recommend!

I've just spent a couple of weeks diving with Jeff and Natalie, and they really are a top team on a boat. As an experienced and independent diver, I was always taken care of but never patronised, and over my holiday built up a genuine relationship with the Sea Horse team.
On an island like Ibiza, there are plenty of operators who just want to get dives done and onto the next group of punters. Sea Horse is nothing like that - I saw them bend over backwards to accommodate people, even those who had failed of their own account. They are generous with their time and experience, and are just as particular on a try dive as a 30+ metre dive.
The boat is always spotless, and the gear is fully maintained. My better half rented gear, I took my own. The boat will only take a maximum of 8 divers, so there's no big long line of divers trying to keep up with a guide. Locations are fully described in the pre dive briefing, and of course there's lots to see in Ibiza. You can see one amazing dive here: https://youtu.be/eoC7-LZsccI
Whether you're a technical diver on holiday and looking for easy diving, a qualified diver who likes the full service or someone wishing to give the amazing world of SCUBA a try, I can't speak highly enough of Jeff, Natalie and of course Therese who keeps us all in order. Don't think of going anywhere else (especially A****l in Sant Antoni...)

Simply amazing. We had four amazing dives!!
Very professionally set up and run dive operator. We are experienced divers and have been to many places around the globe. I guess we can tell when we spot a good dive place.
Jeff and his wife are running it by themselves, super friendly couple. Jeff has been in Ibiza for over 25 years and knows all about the dives and sights around.
We had the luck to have two dives by ourselves with Jeff, and then two dives with a bigger group. On both occasions Jeff took the time for all safety procedures and made sure everybody felt safe and comfortable .. at their own pace. Perfect!
He spots loads of fish, points the finest details, and we went away with an amazing experience.

Hey dive fan!
If you are looking for an excellent dive centre in Ibiza, I would definitely recommend Sea Horse Diving! They are so friendly and welcoming!
Last year I did my first discovery dive, which was amazing! This year I went back to Jeff and Therese for my second discovery fun dive and again it was an amazing experience! We went out on the boat, the equipment is in great condition and Jeff really takes the time to explain everything well so you can have the best experience possible. The underwater world in Ibiza is fascinating, I saw amazing fish: cuttlefish, baracuda, nudi branks, sea stars, crabs, octopus etc.
After my second dive, which was again an exciting experience, and Jeff's positive feedback and vision for me as a future diver, I decided to extend my holiday and do my PADI Open Water course with Sea Horse Diving. I have to say: I couldn't have asked for a better instructor! Jeff is patient, explains everything very well and is obviously a great diver himself.
Not only did I complete my practical course, but I also passed my theory exam. All within 6 days! I am very proud of my achievement but even more grateful for the care and attention Jeff and Therese gave me during the course. Every morning we started with a coffee, a chat in the sun and they really treated me like family.
I can't wait to get back to Ibiza and make my first dive with Sea Horse Diving as a certified open water diver!
Big hugs to them and to everyone reading this: HAVE FUN DIVING!
Kind regards,
Priscilla van Ham

I had 4 dives with Sea Horse diving center in August 2021. I am an Open water diver with 25 dives under my belt. There were several dive centers around the area to choose from and I definately made the right decision to choose this company. We dived on Charlies, the Abyss and Blue rock (x2) dive sites and all had sea life in abundance. We seen grouper, eels, octopus and hundreds of different soecies of fish, one of the dives we ended up in the middle of 100+ Barracuda it was a sight to see.
The lady situated at the dive shop ( I am sorry I forgot your name) was more than helpful and got us geared up for when Jeff docked the boat ready for our dives.
Jeff, the dive master was brilliant and was so in touch with the marine life and the habits of them, we came across 2 dolphins on our way out one day and he knew them due to their markings and told us a story about their history in the sea.
We then come to Natalie the other dive master. She is such a bubbly, proffesional, happy person and was a joy to dive with. I hadnt dived for a couple of years and she helped me a lot and made me settle after a long time not diving. Special thanks to Nat, she looked after all the divers brilliantly and I will be returning to do my Open water advanced course with Sea Horse because of Natalie alone. Thanks Natalie :).
A big thankyou to Sea Horse diving center, these guys were still at the dive shop come 10 pm some nights putting the hard work in to make this diving center the best in the area.
Keep up the good work and I will see you soon :)!!!

My daughter 17 was very keen to go scuba diving in the sea . The kind friendly crew Teresa , Geoff and Natalie made her feel at ease and she had a fantastic time diving . They provided all the equipment and she was out on the sea a good 4 hours we thought it was very good value for money and would definitely recommend going Scuba diving with the team at seahorse .

We have been totally impressed by Jeff, Nathalie and Therese at Seahorse diving. My son is just 14 and wanted to do his PADI. I could not have asked for a more safe and enjoyable experience for him where I was completely reassured by their expertise and friendly manner. We’ll be back for more diving, snorkelling and sunset cruises in the Autumn. Thank you.

I dived the point of no return with Jeff and Michelle. They are a really friendly, laid back but very safety conscious family run centre. Good quality equipment and their team very helpful in getting everyone setup. Modern boat, proper safety and dive info briefing which puts everyone at ease. Been lucky enough to dive with quite a few centres and would rate this as one of the best and most professional. The dive shop is also on a lovely family friendly beach with good restaurants and bars - would highly recommend.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is new to diving or wants to experience diving once more! There was alot of personal attention mixed with a good dose of comedy. All of this whilst going over everything to make you feel confident and safe, before diving into beautiful waters!
There wasn't a moment where we did not enjoy ourselves. I'm sure that you are in for a fun trip with these lovely people. Don't hesitate to try it. Breathe, dive and have fun!

Hi Steve, Thanks for the enquiry. The Discover Scuba Diving program starts at 10 years old but also depends on the youngsters size and build. Come in and speak to us when you get here and we'll work out what we can offer him. See you all soon.

Is there scuba diving for inexperienced divers I’ve done 1 trip before and my missis hasn’t done any scuba diving before. But would really like to sea the sea horses together? Cheers

Written June 12, 2018
I’m sure Jeff and the team would arrange a try dive but you might need to go separately where she is at a lower depth and diving either from the beach or at lower depth and you’re part of a broader group . Best thing would be to call them and explain your level of experience and see what they can offer for you
Ps whilst the dive centre is called sea horse I’m not sure you’ll see any of those but most likely eels, octopus and barracuda

Written April 10, 2018
Hi, firstly sorry for the delay, we are madly busy just now preparing for the season. The answer to your question is a bit difficult... age 10 is the limit for diving in the sea (still in shallow sheltered confined waters under strict supervision ) but it also depends on their size, as , the equipment, even small sizes, is quite heavy, and therefore they need to be 'robust' enough to wear it and stay in control of the equipment on their back, not letting the equipment take them over and make them lose balance. The best thing is, if possible, that we get a look at the size of them beforehand, preferably not mentioning it to them so that they don't get disappointed if we think it is inadvisable. Its very important at an early age, that they enjoy their first experience otherwise its too easy to put them off diving for life. Please feel free to email me and we can discuss this more, and determine whether they would be able to take part. Best regards, Jeff
