01
When, where and how can I book a diving package?

Where and how: either in advance by e-mail or upon arrival at the base
When: BEFORE the start of the dive package. A subsequent grouping of individual dives in one package is not possible.


02
What if I miss a dive / diving-day out of my pre-booked diving package due to illness (ear, stomach problems...)

Even if you miss a few dives because of illness, a dive package is still cheaper than single billing of the dives. However, if you should have to stop diving because of a serious disease, talk to us and we'll find a solution.


03
Can I share a dive package with someone?

No, the dive packages are personal.


04
Can I extend a non-limit diving package for a longer period if I do not want to dive every day?

No, the non-limit-packets are designed for a week.
If you want to pause one / two days, book, but simply the "5 of 7" package, or if you want to be completely independent in time, one of our boat packages - which are unlimited in time.


05
Can I extend a non-limit package by the day?

Yes, we charge then each additional day one seventh of the package price.


06
Are the boat packages bound in time?

No, there is no time limit.


07
As a diver with less than 30 dives, why should I do an accompanied familiarization dive at the housereef?

For your own fun and for your own safety! Finally, the conditions are different everywhere, maybe you have a new piece of equipment or didn't dive for a longer period...
With such a familiarization dive you've got the opportunity to test the proper amount of lead and you get used to the equipment in a relaxed way. In addition, you have a professional with you, who can show you many interesting creatures.


08
I'm an independent diver. Why do I have to pay 12 EUR for a dive at the housereef?

This price includes: bottle filling, use of basic infrastructure such as terrace, shower, toilet, safe storage of dry matters during the dive, a detailed briefing, friendly service, always helping hands ...


09
Why are tanks and weights not included in the dive-price?

In contrast to many other bases, we offer the opportunity to bring, fill and dive private bottles. So we split our prices in dive- and rental-prices to stay fair.


10
Why does my private bottle need an additional internal visual inspection?

We are pleased to fill private bottles of all sizes, but they must meet the local inspection regulations:
Technical inspection (TÜV) not older than 3 years + visual check is not older than 1 year


11
Can you fill 300 bar bottles?

We can fill 300 bar tanks via adapter, but only up to 200 bar.


12
Do you offer Nitrox?

No


13
Can I bring my Rebreather?

Yes, fillings for rebreather are no problem, but we don't offer soda lime.


14
Why don't the bottles show more than 190 bar?

Due to the local law, we must not exceed the pressure of 200 bar in the filling process. During that process the bottles heat up, when they cool down afterwards, the pressure falls down to around 190 bar.


15
Can I do a night dive at the housereef?

Unfortunately not. Night dives from shore are prohibited by law in Catalonia.


16
Why does a night dive cost more than a normal boat dive?

Because of the expense and staff costs are higher.


17
Are night dives included in the dive packages?

No.


18
When do you carry out night dives?

We have a license for one night dive per week, either on Monday or Wednesday. In addition we need good weather conditions and a minimum number of 8 divers to join the trip.


19
Do you offer dives / diving courses for children?

Yes, we offer introductory dives and diving courses for children, minimum age 8 years.
These are carried out from shore and in smallest groups. Being approved Barakuda children's instructors we observe the following depth limits:
8 to 10 years: 3 m max
10 to 12 years: 5 m max
12 to 14 years: 10 m max


20
Do you offer childcare?

Sorry, this is not possible.


21
Can I bring my pet (dog, cat ...) with me to a rental apartment?

Unfortunately, this is possible only in some selected apartments - please send us an inquiry, we then try to find something suitable.
