Wir waren am Wochenende bei Barracuda Diving Mallorca tauchen und hatten eine richtig schöne Zeit! 🤿☀️ Schon vorher war der Kontakt mit Joana total nett und unkompliziert und vor Ort hat auch alles super entspannt geklappt. Getaucht bin ich zusammen mit meinem 11-jährigen Sohn und Juan. Juan ist ein richtig sympathischer und entspannter Typ und wir haben uns bei ihm von Anfang an gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Er spricht kein Deutsch, aber richtig gutes Englisch, sodass die Verständigung überhaupt kein Problem war. Auch mein Sohn hatte jede Menge Spaß und hat sich bei Juan total wohlgefühlt – und das war mir natürlich besonders wichtig. Insgesamt einfach eine tolle, lockere Atmosphäre und überhaupt keine Massenabfertigung. Man merkt, dass die Leute dort Spaß an dem haben, was sie machen. Danke an Juan, Joana und das ganze Team für die schöne Zeit! Wenn wir wieder auf Mallorca sind, schauen wir auf jeden Fall wieder vorbei. 🤿😊 Von uns ganz klar fünf Sterne! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My girlfriend (23) and I (26) had the pleasure of diving with Juan, and we had an absolutely great experience. From the very beginning, the communication and planning were easy, clear and very professional. We really appreciated that, especially because diving is something that should always be taken seriously. My girlfriend had never dived before, while I already had quite a bit of experience underwater. For me, it was very important that she understood everything properly and felt safe and comfortable at all times. Juan explained the most important things to her in a short and very clear briefing, and before long we were already in the water. She understood everything very quickly, so we were able to descend and reached a maximum depth of around 6 metres, which was absolutely perfect for a first dive. She loved the experience, and so did I. Everything felt relaxed, safe and very well organised. Thank you so much, Juan, for making her very first dive such an unforgettable experience. We really appreciate it and would definitely recommend Barracuda Diving Mallorca! Best wishes, Remo

Another 5 star review for Joana & Juan and a big thank you for the lovely memories!! What sets them apart is just how warm, genuine, and personable they both are. They put you at ease so quickly that you immediately feel welcomed like a friend and not just another booking, all while receiving a thoroughly professional service. Joana made organising our "Discover Scuba Diving" session totally effortless. Super helpful, friendly, and quick to respond before, during, and after our dive. As an instructor, Juan was brilliant. His calm, reassuring presence made us feel completely relaxed from the start. He knows the local waters inside out, spotting incredible and unique marine life and expertly guiding us through close-up encounters so we always felt confident and safe. It was a two-part dive and we managed to get down to 10 metres, which was such a rewarding, serene feeling! Unforgettable from start to finish. 100% recommend to anyone looking to try diving!

took my 10-year-old scuba diving for the first time ever with Barracuda Scuba Diving, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Juana took care of all the logistics, and Juan was fantastic on the water. He was calm, confident, and made my son feel completely comfortable throughout the whole experience. My son was relaxed, had a great time, and absolutely loved his dives! Highly recommended!
