Happy Divers Marbella & IDC College is the highest rated PADI dive center in Spain – it is the only PADI 5* Career Development Center and PADI Gold Palm 5* IDC Center in Spain. In addition it is the first ever NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC dive center in Spain and therefore joins the PADI – NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC VIP dive center club as its first member. Divers are taught from beginner level to instructor level and beyond.

Furthermore PADI Europe is doing the Instructor Examinations at Happy Divers & IDC College because it is the only PADI IE location in southern Spain.
All diver training is done to PADI's highest 5* level and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC strict environmental rules. Divers and instructor candidates can be sure that their training will be done at the highest standard in southern Spain.
All our staff are well trained and multi-lingual. Instructional courses at all levels are done in English, German, Spanish and French.
