Fantastic experience. Very professional guide that helped my newly qualified daughter of 13 years old. Boat was really well designed with raised height bench to put BCD’s on. Also a very spacious toilet on board. Equipment was new and the new shop is awesome with plenty of space and modern. No doubt, Unisub are the people to dive with in Estartit!
3rd year i came to L’Estartit with a dive holiday by Maidiving and did a week of diving with Unisub. Simply said Unisub is amazing! Dive trips are well arranged with a good extended briefing of the dive site in question. Preferences are taken into consideration. Questions are always answered and everything works and is in tip top shape! Special thanks to Willy captain and giving us the briefings for adding to the wonderful holiday we had and first sailing towards the Dolphins instead of harbor. Keep going and see you next time!
Great accommodation and diving from start to finish.12 of us from Carlisle Sub Aqua Club had a fantastic week. I would highly recommend Unisub for diving the Medes Islands
Absolutely outstanding snorkeling experience with Unisub. We were a group of 9, a mix of adults, teens, and younger children, with one very nervous, first-time snorkeller (me!), and one 9 year-old who wasn't initially super enthusiastic. The company uses wetsuits which was fantastic for buoyancy and they bring a big team to ensure a really safe, well-run experience. They could not have been more patient and professional. They managed all the groups including ours with such positively, fun, and understanding. We saw lots of gorgeous fish. Highly recommend this group if you are planning any snorkeling in the area
Relaxed diving school that always endeavours to solve any problems! Our daughters felt very comfortable. Big thanks especially to Marc, who was always absolutely patient, always positive and made diving fun for our daughters despite small obstacles. Next time again with Unisub and Marc!
I completed my PADI Open Water Diver course with Unisub, and unfortunately, my experience was not positive. While I met some kind and professional instructors and guides later on (special thanks to Roig and Olatz), the course itself left me very disappointed. Our assigned instructor, Marc, consistently created a stressful and discouraging atmosphere from the very first day. Both myself and another student in the group were repeatedly yelled at, with comments such as “I’m losing my patience with you girls”, “I’m a Latin guy, I’m getting angry”, or "I don't see that you will have a second day in this course" after only 4 hours into the course! Instead of fostering a safe and supportive learning environment, his behavior often made us more fearful of him than of being underwater. Over the four days, there were frequent outbursts, passive-aggressive remarks, and even actions such as splashing water aggressively at our faces! At one point, when another student was shivering and visibly cold after being in the water for almost 4 hours, she was told it was her own fault for not completing the skills quickly enough. This lack of empathy and professionalism was extremely disheartening. At one point, a diver from another dive center even came over to us and asked us if everything is okay after witnessing the extremely unprofessional and practically bullying behavior from our instructor, which shows me that his behavior was not just our own impression, but even felt by others. Both of us independently requested a different instructor, but due to scheduling it was not possible. What was more disappointing was that after raising these concerns, no one from the management followed up or checked in with us. We were left to finish the course under the same conditions, which was extremely frustrating. I truly believe this approach was not in line with PADI standards or with what a student should expect from a diving course. Learning to dive should be about building confidence and feeling safe in the water, not about being intimidated or belittled. While Unisub may generally be a good dive school with capable instructors, my experience with Marc unfortunately overshadowed everything else and turned what should have been an exciting milestone into something close to traumatic. For that reason, I would not recommend doing your course here. There are other schools where students are supported, encouraged, and treated with the respect that this kind of training requires.
Absolutely wow! I took my PADI Advanced Open Water Course here and my experience was super positive. The quality of the materials and the boat were top-notch, staff was very professional, safety measures as well as environment were clearly taken into account and administration was quick and helpful (I booked only a few days in advance but this did not give any trouble). What I liked most was that although it is clearly a very large dive school with a full schedule and lots of attendees in summer, it still felt very personal. The dive site itself, mostly around the coast and the Medes islands, was of course also marvellous. Massive shout-out to my instructor Bruce, who was very kind and helpful and gave very solid in-shop instructions on top of the online theory, really taking the time needed. Some other positives: you can park for free, even in summer, in the sandy area right out front of the dive spot, just arrive on time to secure a spot. Also, together the instructors at the school speak a large array of languages fluently, so no need to worry about language barriers if you are, for example, travelling with children or teenagers.
Illes Medes snorkeling trip was great. Maurice was very friendly & helpful. Thank you for a great few hours.

Very helpfull with good English spoken.
(Translated by Google) We carry out the children's activity of the treasure hunt, some clues are not well explained and lead to confusion, in addition to being poorly marked on the map, when you arrive at the office with the wrong number for that reason they do not provide you with information, it is a children's activity which must be exciting and it seems like they have a hard time helping. Quite disappointing. (Original) Realizamos la actividad infantil de la búsqueda del tesoro, algunas pistas no están bien explicadas y llevan a confusion, ademas de estar mal señalizadas en el mapa, cuando llegas a la oficina con algun número equivocado por ese motivo no te facilitan , es una actividad infantil que debe de ser ilusionante y parece que les cueste ayudar. Bastante decepcionante.
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. The first time we visited, everything was easy, they gave us a map to follow a route with the children and find numbers that would eventually open a pirate chest. So far everything was correct. On the map there were two itineraries, one long and one short (independent). We did the short one for time, and the panels where we had to find the answers were damaged, and the answer did not come out. We deciphered three digits of the route, and we went to the office. Result that only works sometimes with a code from the short one OR sometimes with the code from the long one. Result: that day with the route we had done, the code did not open, therefore... NOTHING (this explains the principle, Or if you see two children...what a cost....) so a bad experience. (Original) Lamentablement, no tenim bona experiència. En la primera ocasió que vam visitar tot era fàcil, ens van donar el mapa per seguir una ruta amb els nens i anar trobant números que finalment podríem obrir un cofre de pirates. Fins aquí tot correcte. En el mapa hi havien dos itineraris un mes llarg i un mes curt ( independents). Nosaltres per temps fem la curta, i en els plafons on havíem de trobar les respostes n'hi havia de malmesos, i no sortia la resposta. Desxifrem tres dígits de la ruta, i anem a l'oficina. Resultat que només funciona a vegades amb un codi de la curt O a vegades amb el codi de la llarga. Resultat : aquell dia amb la ruta que havíem fet no s'obria el codi, per tant... RES ( això s'explica el principi, O si veus dos nens ...que cost....) així que una mala experiència.
(Translated by Google) It has a nice promenade along the sea. There are also mountain routes that connect with several small but very beautiful coves. (Original) Tiene un bonito paseo a orillas del mar . También hay rutas de montaña que conectan con varias calas pequeñas pero muy bonitas.
(Translated by Google) Terrible attention received by one of the 2 ladies who served tourists. All the time he spoke Catalan to people from Spain who said they didn't understand it, but in English to tourists from other countries. A tourist information office is exactly that and not a place where people do not respect people, who have a very bad image and bad concept of Catalonia. "Madam" very rude. (Original) Pésima atención recibida por una de las 2 señoras que atendían turistas. Todo el tiempo hablaba catalán a personas de España que decían no entenderlo pero en inglés a turistas de otros países. Una oficina de información turística es eso exactamente y no un sitio donde no respetar personas,que se llevan muy mala imagen y mal concepto de Catalunya. "Señora" muy mal educada.
(Translated by Google) We went there to buy the tickets for the seafaring procession and when we arrived, two hours after the start of the sale which according to the web page had to be done in two days, they had already sold out. Our complaint is because after calling twice to ask for information to make sure of the day the sale started and telling them each time that we would be doing more than 100 kms the girl who answered never warned us that there were few tickets and much demand We don't blame the staff for this but it doesn't cost anything to warn people and more so after telling them we come from far away. (Original) Varem anar-hi per comprar els tickets per a la processó marinera i quan varem arribar, dues hores després d'iniciar-se la venda que segons la pàgina web s'havia de fer en dos dies, ja s'havien exhaurit. La nostra queixa és perquè després de trucar dues vegades per demanar informació per assegurar-nos del dia que començava la venda i dir-los cada cop que faríem més de 100 kms la noia que contestava mai ens va avisar de que hi havien pocs tickets i molta demanda. No donem la culpa al personal d'això però no costa res avisar a la gent i més després de dir-los que veniem de molt lluny.
(Translated by Google) I had to deal with a very unpleasant person, this lady gave me the leaflets without any explanation. Not very polite, she almost lectured me. Enle does not do the minimum, does not praise the region. She was also very rude to my children, who, however, tried to speak in Spanish. (Original) J'ai eu à faire avec une personne très désagréable, cette dame m'a donné les prospectus sans aucune explication. Peu polie, elle m'a presque fait la morale. Enle ne fait pas le minimum, ne vante pas la région. Elle a aussi été très désagréable avec mes enfants, qui pourtant, ont essayé de parler en espagnol.
(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome. Very pleasant young woman speaking French. Good advice. 4 stars because it's a shame that the docs are not translated into French more. At least the main points. Very beautiful walk along the beach leading to a promontory with a splendid view of the Illes Mèdes, to be discovered. (Original) Très bon accueil. Jeune femme très agréable parlant français. Bon conseils. 4 étoiles car c'est dommage que les docs ne soient pas plus traduits en français. Au moins les points principaux. Très belle promenade le long de la plage amenant à un promontoire avec une vue splendide sur les Illes Mèdes, à découvrir.

(Translated by Google) Even though it started to rain, the time we spent was very good, the only bad but normal thing in these coastal places is the parking (Original) A pesar de que se puso a llover,el rato que pasamos estuvo muy bien,lo único malo pero normal en estos sitios de costa es el aparcamiento
The casino is one big scam, i see someone also noted it and got a comment on it. Its real money but its literally YOUR staff working there. DONT GO HERE LADS!!!!
Got scammed in casino !
(Translated by Google) It is a pity that the inflatable attractions, both exterior and interior, have a very significant accumulation of dirt. I have been a regular with my grandchildren for 4 years and with the €4 that the ticket costs this year, they could be in better condition. taking into account the public to which they are intended. I did a little test with my finger and it confirmed that it is dirt. (Original) Es una lástima la dejeneración de las atracciones de inchables tanto exteriores como del interior que presentan una acumulación de suciedad muy importante, hace 4 años que soy asiduo con mis nietos y con los 4€ que vale el tiket este año, podrían estar en mejores condiciones teniendo en cuenta al publico al que van destinados. Hice una pequeña prueba con el dedo y me confirmo que es suciedad.
(Translated by Google) At 'casino' there is a nice prize for 300 points, if you hand in the 300 'points' they suddenly say that it must be 300 stars and 1 star is 50 points... nowhere does it state that 1 star is 50 points. This is an outrageous scam (Original) Bij ‘casino’ staat voor 300 punten een leuke prijs, als je de 300 ‘punten’ inlevert zeggen ze ineens dat het 300 sterren moeten zijn en 1 ster is 50 punten… nergens staat vermeld dat 1 ster 50 punten is. Schandalige scam dit
(Translated by Google) A playground, especially for small children, a few meters from Riells beach. It works with tickets that are bought centrally and are spent (in larger or smaller amounts) on the various attractions. The inflatables in tribute to the SUPER MARIO BROS universe are particularly curious and accomplished. Karts for children, too. (Original) Un espai de jocs, especialment per a nens petits, a pocs metres de la platja de Riells. Funciona amb uns tiquets que es compren de forma centralitzada i es van gastant (en major o menor quantitat) en les diverses atraccions. Els inflables en homenatge a l'univers SUPER MARIO BROS són especialment curiosos i aconseguits. Els karts per a nens, també.
(Translated by Google) Covid regulations are not respected. In closed places (dome mig meló) employees do not ask people who do not wear a mask (adults) to use a mask despite the signs indicating the mandatory nature of its use. (Original) No se respeta la normativa Covid. En los lugares cerrados (cúpula mig meló) los empleados no piden el uso de mascarilla a las personas que no llevan mascarilla(adultas) pese a los carteles donde se indica la obligatoriedad de su uso.
