Where your next diving trip begins

We started with a simple idea: that finding the perfect place to dive should be as easy and exciting as your first jump into the water. 

Scuba Finders is the platform that connects divers with the best destinations and dive centers around the world, saving you hours of searching and endless messages. Here you can compare, choose, and book your diving trips with confidence... and without any hassle, since you can book your flights, accommodation, diving, transfers, insurance, and everything else you need for the perfect trip on the same platform. 

We believe in honest, safe, and accessible diving. That's why we gather the information that really matters (seasons, conditions, services, certifications, real reviews) so you can make the best decision, whether it's your first dive or your umpteenth diving trip. 

What we do:

  • Smart search: filter by destination, level, prices and season, marine life, duration, trip characteristics, type of trip. 
  • Clear comparison: see at a glance what each trip offers and what it includes. 
  • Verified reviews: reviews from real divers so you can make your decision with peace of mind. 
  • Direct contact: write to us, request a call. We are here to help you at all times. 
  • Maps and seasons: choose the ideal time for each destination. If you need it, we can advise you. 
  •  Total transparency: what's included, what's not, and how much it costs—no fine print. 

About us:

We're a young team of diving and travel enthusiasts who turned a common frustration into a simple solution. We love the sea, respect its rhythms, and work to help more people discover it safely, responsibly, and happily. If the ocean is your favorite place... we're on the same wavelength.

 

Our top 3 diving trips

FUVAHMULAH MALTA BALI and KOMODO

FUVAHMULAH

Experience an unforgettable week of diving in one of the hidden gems of the Maldives. Fuvahmulah is renowned for its close encounters with tiger sharks and other pelagic species such as mantas and whale sharks, in a still pristine and spectacular natural environment.

During your stay, you will enjoy up to six days of guided dives with Fuvahmulah Shark Expedition, experts in the area. In the afternoons, relax on white sandy beaches, stroll around the island, or savor the local hospitality.
The island seamlessly combines tranquility on the surface with excitement underwater: pristine reefs, deep walls, caverns, and a unique marine biodiversity. Everything is carefully planned so you only need to focus on enjoying yourself.

Immerse yourself in this experience tailored for divers seeking adrenaline, beauty, and comfort in a destination still relatively unexplored.

MALTA

Malta, Europe's best diving destination, presents an advanced 7-day itinerary for Advanced and Deep Divers with Scuba Finders and our partner Scuba Malta, guided entirely in Spanish. We cover the most impressive sites in the archipelago: P29, Rozi, Um El Faroud (front & back), Karwela, Cominoland, P31, the Bristol Beaufighter and Neptune aircraft, the historic X127 and Maori, and the Blue Hole reef/cave sites – Inland Sea, Anchor Bay (Popeye Cave), Merkanti Reef, Tug Two, and Rossi. 

Outstanding visibility and large-scale steel make it an ideal program for wide-angle photography, with real exploration times and optional short penetrations. We operate in small groups, with technical briefings and access from shore and boat, backed by polished and safe logistics: most entry points have a medical station, food on site, and exclusive parking for divers.

BALI & KOMODO

Immerse yourself in Bali and Komodo on a trip that begins with an 8-night stay in Candidasa, East Bali. Explore its varied underwater geology, from volcanic sandbanks to coral formations, on 16 dives that will take you to places such as Amed, Padang Bai, Nusa Penida, Tulamben and Candidasa itself. Frequent encounters with manta rays, turtles, nudibranchs of all kinds, cuttlefish, sharks... A true diving paradise. You will also discover Ubud on a full-day tour and enjoy a barbecue at Virgin Beach. The second part of your trip will take you to Labuan Bajo, where you will spend 7 nights in a luxurious hotel overlooking the sea. Explore Komodo National Park during six days of diving, discovering extensive coral gardens, powerful currents and cleaning stations frequented by manta rays. The park's ecosystem also gives you the opportunity to see reef sharks and a wealth of small marine life.

This diving trip offers 32 unique dives in two of Southeast Asia's most sought-after diving destinations, all impeccably organised and with high-quality accommodation.
