Comments	Scuba Mallorca has been running now for 10 years by Mick (English) and Jessie (US). They have their own boat and skipper, Sebastian is great. I've been diving with them on and off over the years for several years. This year they certified my son as PADI OW and did a great job. Good shop with decent selection of kit. Jessie and the team are a very friendly, helpful, bunch. The dive sites are round the Bay of Pollenca, with most dives being wall dives. It's the Mediterranean, so don't expect a load of fish. There are some small shoals, Barracuda etc. Some nice crabs, morays and nudibranchs but this is not like the Caribbean or the Indo-Pacific. The water in July is 21 - 24 Celsius, so it's really 5mm fullsuit (and probably hood) territory. I wore a 5mm shortie and a hood, which looked abit odd but worked for me! There are some chilly thermoclines on most dives. Dives were generally a combination of wall dives and some caverns. There a couple of nice caves where you enter underwater, surface in the cave, have a look about and then descend again and exit. The divemasters were good, keen and enthusiastic. It is pretty much a European dive crowd, many from the UK.If you are in Mallorca and fancy some diving, this shop is worth a visit.
