Due to Covid-19, I didn't actually get to do this experience, but a friend and I had been scheduled to do the Open Water cert with Joop and Muriel when Covid hit. We had to cancel our trip to Menorca, and the team at Son Bou Scuba was so incredible during the entire time. Throughout the process of booking, cancelling, and refunding, they were incredibly responsive and helpful. We were brokenhearted that we were unable to have this incredible experience, but I couldn't recommend this company more, simply because of their kindness and professionalism. Hoping to be able to reschedule with them as soon as I'm able.

We have visited Menorca in many occasions and have always considered scuba diving, but we’ve been too busy or not been organised enough.
This year we decided to take the plunge and it could not have been easier to book ourselves onto a Discovery dive course.
Robin and Muriel were very welcoming and treated our two teenagers to the most wonderful and engaging experience.
We are going to take things to the next level when we come next year. Brilliant !

Just got back from holiday in Menorca. We went for a set of four dives at two different dive sites (Swiss cheese and Los Bloques) both sites were nice, one was an open cave structure and the other a reef. We saw a range of wildlife like nudibranch, barracuda and octopus (and lots of fish obviously). Instructors were very friendly, experienced and helpful, we felt safe at all times. They take a camera with them underwater and take pictures of you which you can have afterwards (for a small additional sum). The dives were a good price.

Completed my PADI Open Water course with Muriel at Son Bou Scuba. What an amazing person she is! Kind, funny, and an incredible instructor that always made me feel calm and safe. I don’t think I could have done it without her guidance. Highly recommend completing your PADI course with Son Bou Scuba in Menorca, great people and the dives were beautiful! Thank you Muriel for everything, I can’t wait to dive more with you in the future.

Very uncomplicated, friendly diving school with top equipment. Safety is also a top priority. Muriel and Joop make sure that all divers can fully enjoy their time underwater. The dive sites are selected according to meteorological conditions across the island.
The cave dive with you was sensational!

This is the third time I’ve dived with Son Bou Scuba….and I will definitely be back soon.
Joop and Muriel are the friendliest of people, and their business is first class. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they make sure that your diving is wonderful, fun and safe.
The hire kit is great, and the dive sites, and their boat that they operate really are world class.
If you are considering diving in Menorca, you should always go straight to Son Bou Scuba.
I definitely recommend this business for a guaranteed fabulous time.

We received excellent customer service from Son Bou scuba while booking a diving holiday. Due to the coronavirus pandemic we unfortunately had to cancel our trip. Son Bou generously refunded our deposit, and we very much hope to dive with them in the future!!

My family and I did a Discover Scuba session last week. We had a fab day. Muriel and Joop are such lovely people, friendly, funny and very knowledgeable.
Can't recommend enough. If we're ever in the area again we would definitely go back.

It was a pleasure to dive with a very profesional, well equipped and friendly dive master. The dive center is well organized and perfectly situated in a beautiful part of Menorca, Son Bou. I really recommend this place and I hope to come back soon.

Great dive sight in Arenal D'en Castel to get back to diving after a year and a half and the Covid-19 lockdown. Very friendly and profesional set up. My two teenage daughters did their first baptism dives in perfect conditions and then went on to do their PADI Scuba Diver qualification. Big thanks to Muriel, Joop and Robbin for organizing everything so easily and for the their sense of humour.

Apparently in Spain (inc. the Balearics) you now need a doctor’s letter confirming your fitness to dive? Our GP won’t oblige because he is ‘not qualified in diving medicals’ - I guess concerned about liability. We are all PADI open water or advanced and we all have a clean bill of health. Anyone come across this and found a solution? Thanks.
Written August 7, 2018
Hi, yes your GP has the right to deny this. Solution: Do your dive medical in Spain with a diving doctor. Valid for 2 years.

Hi, my wife and I are visiting in may. I have scuba dived befor a few times but my wife hasn't. Do you do an excursion for beginners and what would it involve. Many thanks

Hi Ed,
Thank you for your email! We do beginner dives every day (Discover Scuba Diving). This involves one or two dives in the sea. Before we go out, all participants meet with their instructor (max. 4:1) and get a safety briefing. After that, it's off to the sea; a sheltered area where your wife can gradually get accustomed. You can find more info and prices on our web site.
Kind regards, Joop

We're considering a holiday at Camping Son Bou, Menorca with our teenage boy & girl.
Would any of you previous visitors recommend it as a break to accommodate them as well as us??

Hello Fiona, we do not have boat trips for non-divers. However, if there is a space left on the boat you might be able to join, depending on what your plans are.
