An introduction to diving in Mallorca
Keen on the idea of diving, but not so keen on wearing an air tank on your back? Well, maybe it's time to have a chat with PETER?
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).
The painter and sculptor Joan Miro spent most of his life in Barcelona, but both his wife and mother were Mallorcan and he always longed to return to the scene of his childhood holidays to draw inspiraton from what he called "the light of Mallorca".
