The short version

No certificate is needed for either.

Both take about two hours, and most of that is not underwater: briefing, fitting the gear and reaching the entry point take the larger share. The cheaper site is Pobla Marina in La Pobla de Farnals, a separate port up the coast north of the city, so plan a drive rather than a walk.

We did a discover-dive — myself and my two sons. They were very professional, all the equipment was clean and quite new, and the team were very helpful.

FAQ

Do you need a diving certificate?
Not for either option. Both are first dives with an instructor beside you: the marina one is a PADI Discover Scuba to around twelve metres, the other a sea baptism dive run by a school that has certified thousands.
Why does one dive cost three times more?
They are run by different schools at different places: €150 from the Náutico marina in the city, €50 at La Pobla de Farnals up the coast. Both take about two hours in total and include gear and briefing.
How far is the second site from the city?
La Pobla de Farnals is a town of its own up the coast north of Valencia, with its own port, so plan a drive rather than a walk. The El Mar centre, by contrast, sits beside the Real Club Náutico south of the city: about 17 minutes by car from the centre, 18 from Malvarrosa, 8 from El Saler and 16 from the airport.
How long does a first dive take?
About two hours in both cases, and most of that is not underwater. Briefing, fitting the gear and getting to the entry point take the larger share; the dive itself is the short, quiet part at the end.

How long it really takes
