The PETER Diving system uses compressed air tanks like a SCUBA system but utilises long air lines that allow the tanks to remain on the surface while the diver explores the world below the waves.

Without the need for buoyancy control devices and with the safety that comes from being attached to a floating object on the surface the system is simple and ideal for first-time divers as young as eight.

The diving system is available all over the island Mallorca and there are two fixed 'PETER Points': at the H 10 Punta Negra Hotel (between Portals Nous and Palmanova) and the Aventura IB dive centre (in Playa de Palma).
