About Simply Diving, Spain
SIMPLY DIVING was established in 1999 and is managed by the father and son team of Alex and Simon Bell.
Alex says: “Simply Diving has been going strong now for many years but our philosophy is the same now as it always has been: We’re a family-run business providing the best customer service. We’re proud of the hundreds of divers we have looked after and are often told that their day with us was the best of their holiday! We also pride ourselves on the quality of training we offer and the fact that the training is done by such friendly, knowledgeable and safety-conscious staff members.”
