TG 157 and 158, 23 24/08/2008 and "Dive Ulla and Paul", Cadaques, Spain
During our vacation by T3 bus through France and Spain, we passed Cadaques on the Mediterranean coast of northern Spain. Good opportunity for a few dives I thought.
The base is just outside the above mentioned period which would otherwise be very busy place and has two direct sea access, but they are through the rocks a little difficult. A small bridge would be good, but is not allowed because of the nature parks there. No matter, no problem!
The staff there was nice and friendly, mostly students from Germany. "Ulla and Paul" is no longer there apparently, her son took over the base.
There is the opportunity to participate in two boat trips per day, or the Bay to dive. Bay dive with own equipment without a guide costs 15, - € incl tanks and weights. Guide Plus = plus 8, - €.
As the boat tours were booked on the first day I found a nice family from Germany, where I was allowed to join. They knew the dive site and we had a nice relaxing 15m dive with moray eels and lots of nice fish. Very nice!
The next day I took no account of the cruise buddy, but I could join a TL-Assi and his students. Better than nothing I thought. Ultimately, this TG is then presented as a disaster dive, I will not describe here in Fairneßgründen.
General observations on the base which were crucial for my personal evaluation:
- Equipment and suits mainly of "discounters" (my Leihanzug was torn,
Leihjacket of a buddy lost permanently a little air)
- of two days there was no guide available, with which I would dive to
- at least a Guide / TL-Assi struck me negatively by poor student-TG-planning and - Implementation
- comfortable base with shady corners to sit and natter
- anytime beverage self-service with bar list
- fair prices for diving
- beautiful dive spots for beginners and Fotgeschrittene
- very good conditions for divers who want to make their own (with buddy) in the bay house their dives.
- Campers may park for free behind the house, if there is room. Even overnight!
