Rumbo Azul/Hotel Goleta - Playa Den Bosa in
Spain/Ibiza

Dive Conditions

Diving was pretty laid back. 500psi on return, Dive master was a good Guide
and kept and eye on the group with out limiting your experience.  

Not friendly for UWPs. No Set ups and no room for extra equitment.   

Overall Rating

Rumbo Azul (blue direction) dive center was small with little supplies at
the Playa ben Bosa location. They do have other locations on the Island
with larger facilities. Dive shop was very laid back and friendly. No
pressure of any sort and willing to assist with all your needs. Director
and dive masters Were very Knowlegible Yet not intrusive to your dive
profile. Water was Deep Royal Blue with excellent Vis. the entire time we
were there. Up to 150 feet. Very warm tempratures. Alot of small fish and
limited colors on most dives. Mostly Mulitlevel Wall diving and they only
ran their large dive boat one day a week for an all day trip - 10am until
7pm . This trip was great for seeing the Island and the scenary. Very
crowded through for the first dive and then basic divers were taken back to
shore. New tanks were loaded up for the second dive. Lunch was included
with a break to swim in a beautiful Cove before continuing onto Es
Verdra.(the second dive location) Many moras and some Octopus, No large
fish. The rest of the week Diving was for the hard core diver. Trips were
run with a 20' inflatable and traveling was ruff. No dive ladder aboard
this boat now I know how the navy seals do it. Although diving Was
hard-core the patforma Espardell, the only wreck dive,( a collapsed fish
farm platform)Was very interesting. 120feet depth and always surrounded by
the largest school of barracuda in the world....thousands of them. The
hotel Goleta Was wonderful, large resort, clean ,very helpful employees,
Good food. The rest of the Island had alot to see and do (shopping and
dining.) One big Warning!!! Have a rental car reserved Way ahead of time
and be careful about signing rental contract. A ten day $350 car rental
Turned into $1200 dollars on a poorly printed contract (in spanish)and
still disputing outragious insurance charges tacked on at the Avis counter.
A rental car is nessesary for this Island.
