Frequently asked
What exactly is NaoDive?+
A site that publishes diving and snorkelling guides for Jávea and collects enquiries from people who want to get in the water. The enquiry is passed to the collaborating dive centre in the area, who run the activity with their certified instructors and their own insurance, and who contact you with dates and pricing.
Who will reply to me?+
The collaborating dive centre your enquiry is passed to. There is no sales intermediary calling you first: what you send goes straight to the people who can tell you whether they have space on the day you are asking about.
Jávea only? What if I am staying in Dénia or Calpe?+
Jávea and its coastline only: Granadella, El Portitxol, Cabo de la Nao and the surroundings of the Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve. You are welcome to write anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can help, but we will not promise you a trip somewhere we do not cover.
Will everything be in Spanish?+
Say you would prefer English when you send your enquiry and it gets arranged. It is a routine request on this coast, and far better settled before the day than at the harbour.
Arrange your day in the water
Tell us what you would like to do, when you will be in Jávea and whether you have dived before. That is enough for the centre to come back with available days.
