As far as I can see there is and has not been a shortage of anything in any of the food shops around Es Castell or Mahon since before lockdown or after.

Not the cheapest but then you get what you pay for. As far as flooring goes....if I was you I’d stick with tiles. I’ve seen different types ...

I wouldn’t worry to much about finding or using a PADI dive centre. I started my dive career with BSAC about 30 years ago, I then did some courses with a PADI school and but most of my qualifications are now through SSI. They’re making it all very interchangeable between the different federations. I...
