Raziščite Valencijo
Živahno mesto Valencia, ki leži v vzhodni regiji Valencijska skupnost v Španiji, je že dolgo priljubljena počitniška destinacija tako za Evropejce kot za popotnike z vsega sveta. Zgodovinsko mesto, fantastična hrana in osupljiva obala ponujajo številne aktivnosti nad vodo, medtem ko bistra voda, dramatična podvodna topografija in pečine, prepredene z votlinami, ustvarjajo pravo podvodno igrišče za potapljače. Izgubite se v spokojnosti Sredozemlja in se potopite v te nebesno modre vode.
Z več potapljaškimi centri, raztresenimi po mestu, je veliko krajev za tečaje potapljanja. Potapljaška letovišča se nahajajo bolj ob obali, kjer nudijo dvojno storitev kot počitniška letovišča. Potapljaški tečaji so tukaj priljubljeni, zlasti tisti za začetnike, zato je veliko priložnosti za začetek spoznavanja podvodnega sveta. Trenutno v okolici Valencie ni ladij za prenočevanje, so pa nekatere na bližnjih Balearskih otokih.
